More than HALF of American voters believe Donald Trump is racist [View all]

Nearly two-thirds of Americans think Donald Trump has caused or widened divisions in US society, while a majority think he is racist, a new mega-poll by former Conservative Party deputy chairman Michael Ashcroft has found.

Trump last week became the first US President to be impeached for a second time, following allegations that he incited supporters to storm the Capitol. Now 60 per cent of voters say he has opened up splits in society – with even a quarter of Trump supporters agreeing.

In a 20,000-sample survey, 57 per cent of Americans think Trump is racist, with only 37 per cent disagreeing: 12 per cent of his own backers think he is racist, rising to 93 per cent of supporters of President-elect Joe Biden.

Lord Ashcroft examines the ‘Trump conundrum’. He became the first President to be defeated after his first term since George Bush in 1992 despite assembling the largest ever voting coalition for a Republican nominee, with 74 million votes – 11 million more than he received four years earlier, giving him a higher vote share.
