Hillary Clinton took aim at fellow White House hopeful Donald Trump over his call to ban Muslims from entering the United States, saying: "I no longer think he is funny."

Appearing on NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers" later Thursday, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination saidTrump had overstepped the mark with his latest comments.

"You know, I have to say, Seth, I no longer think he is funny," Clinton said, accord-ingtoNBCNews.

” I think for weeks you and everybody else were just bringing folks to hysterical laughter, but now he has gone way over the line. ... And what he is saying now is not only shameful and wrong, it is dangerous."

According to the first survey conveyed after Trump's comment on Monday, a majority of Americans opposed the controversial plan. Fiftyseven percent of adults in the US are against the idea, while 25 percent are for it, according to the survey by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

Among Republicans the views are mixed: 42 percent of respondents back Trump's Muslim ban, while 36 percent oppose it. Three-quarters of Democrats stand opposed. The poll also found that 41 percent of Americans believe Trump's bombastic campaign statements in general are insulting.
