Majority of America Says Trump Is Racist – But Not Even One in Ten Republicans Agree

The majority of Americans say President Donald Trump is racist, according to a just-released Quinnipiac poll as NBC News reports.
Among those saying President Trump is racist are African Americans (80%), Latinos (55%), Democrats (86%), Independents (56%), and a majority across all age groups.
It also includes those who say they do not follow any religion (“none”), at 63%, and 57% of those with a college degree.
But the results are not the same in a few other groups.
Those who answered “no,” to the question, “Do you think President Trump is racist?” include 55% of men (44% of women also say no).
Also saying they do not believe President Trump is racist are three out of four (76%) of white evangelicals and 55% of Protestants.
Meanwhile more than 9 out of ten (91%) of Republicans insist President Trump is not racist. Just 8% say he is.
This is the first time since Quinnipiac has been asking the question that a majority say Trump is racist. Two previous polls last year came close: both show 49% at the time said Trump is racist.
