Nine percent of Americans say neo-Nazi and white supremacist views are acceptable, according to a new survey conducted in the days after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

While an overwhelming 83% of Americans said they opposed the far-right ideology, 9% said it was acceptable. The remaining 8% said they had no opinion, according to a Washington Post- ABC poll.

The poll surveyed 1,014 adults after neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other far-right groups descended on Charlottesville, where James Alex Fields Jr., allegedly drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

President Trump faced a swift backlash for attributing the violence in Charlottesville to “both sides” and members of his own party publicly criticized his response.


Eight percent had no opinion. WTF. That's almost as disturbing as the 9% figure.
