Trump has gotten a lot of bad polling news recently, as his approval ratings have cratered and his general election opponent Joe Biden has widened his lead over the incumbent. A new Yahoo! News/YouGov poll is arguably worse news for Trump, as the results cut at his character and place in American history.
When directly asked Do you think that President Trump is a racist?, 52 percent said yes, while only 34 percent said no an 18 point spread. Even a hefty plurality of white voters agreed Trump is a racist, 46-39, while only 14 percent of Republicans said yes to the question. Crucially, among independent voters, the spread was even wider than the overall number, with 53 percent saying Trump is a racist and only 31 percent saying he is not.
Respondents were also asked How would you rate the following Presidents?, and given choices ranging from Great to failure in assessing Trump and former Presidents Barack Obama, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, and Franklin Roosevelt.
It did not go well for Trump. A whopping 54 percent rated Trump either a failure or below average, with the results overwhelmingly tilted to failure at 43 percent. Thats more than double the number who said the same of President Obama, whose polarizing presidency scored 21 percent in that metric. Thats versus 45 percent who said Obama was great or near great.

(6 posts)Until we gets closer to a 2:1 ratio I wont consider this to be an indicator of public opinion. Trump has not really done, said or otherwise behaved any different than he did in the lead up to 2016 and I am sure something is going to happen to narrow the gap. It will be either a vaccine that works being released early or gaffes on either Biden or his VP choice. For this inhuman monster to still have a positive rating in the 40s, even with his nazi base, means there are a lot of selfish, arrogant, ignorant, stupid people out there who will flip their vote his way in a flash.
