Forty-six percent of the survey’s respondents say that they either don’t want to show support for Trump by coming to the U.S. or that they no longer feel welcome in the country because of the president.

The findings come amid a boost in German travel to the U.S., and could signify a coming downturn for Europe’s travel industry, according to Bloomberg. Already, European tour operators have seen a drop in travel to the Middle East, because of safety and security concerns in the region.

Still, 36 percent of Germans who would like to travel to the U.S. say that Trump’s presidency would not prevent them from doing so, because the president's policies don’t reflect their overall perception of Americans. About 17 percent said national politics didn't impact their travel plans.

Trump fiercely opposed illegal immigration and refugee resettlement during the campaign, and had criticized German Chancellor Angela Merkel over her country's approach to welcoming refugees.

Days after taking office in January, Trump signed an executive order banning citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. and temporarily halted the nation's refugee resettlement policy, while indefinitely banning Syrian refugees.

Trump's travel ban order was blocked by a federal appeals court earlier this month, and the president has said his administration is working on a new order.

The president’s opposition to travel and immigration has focused overwhelmingly on predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa, as well as Mexico.

The GfK poll of 1,004 people in the Germany was conducted Feb. 3-10.
