New survey shows 52% of Americans believe Trump is a racist

    A slight majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump is a racist, a new survey showed.

    A Yahoo News/YouGov poll found 52 per cent of U.S. adults believe the president is a racist, while another 37 per cent of those polled said he was not. 11 per cent answered that they didn’t know.

    Americans were divided by political party and race on how they viewed Trump. Democrats, like Sen. Ed Markey, who referred to the president as a ‘racist’ and ‘scum’ Monday on Twitter, were most likely to believe he’s a racist.

    ‘Donald trump is scum for fueling racist hate and violence in our country,’ the Massachusetts Democrat wrote.

    Of the Democrats surveyed, 86 per cent believed Trump is a racist, while just 6 per cent did not.

    Only 13 per cent of Republicans believed Trump is a racist, while 80 per cent said he’s not.

    Among independents, 56 per cent said they thought Trump is a racist, while 33 per cent did not.

    Black Americans were most likely to think Trump is a racist.

    Seventy-four per cent of black Americans surveyed said they believed Trump is a racist, while 13 per cent did not.

    Among Hispanic Americans surveyed, 71 per cent said Trump is a racist, while 19 per cent did not.

    White Americans were split on whether they viewed Trump as a racist.
