Is this why Trump is winning thus far?

Trump is the one running with it lol.


Public opinion survey results asking atypical but timely questions have shed some light on the Trump coalition.

The results suggest how Trump has built a significant part of his coalition of voters on people who are responsive to religious, social and racial intolerance.

One poll asked voters if they thought whites were a superior race. Among Trump’s supporters, only 69 percent disagreed.

Nearly 20 percent of Trump’s voters disagreed with Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which freed slaves in the Southern states during the Civil War.

The NYT, lol.
 
Trump supporters = racists

Why has our society gotten so PC that no one has the balls to go out and just tell it like it is? Trump supporters are racists, it's as simple as that. They also aren't human, aren't American, and don't deserve rights.
 
YouGov data reveal that a third of Trump’s backers believe that Japanese internment during World War II was a good idea.

Trump’s coalition is also more likely to disagree with the desegregation of the military (which was ordered in 1948 by Harry Truman) than other candidates’ supporters are.

According to P.P.P., 70 percent of Trump’s voters in South Carolina wish the Confederate battle flag were still flying on their statehouse grounds. The polling firm says that 38 percent of them wish the South had won the Civil War.

Trump’s popularity with white, working-class voters who are more likely than other Republicans to believe that whites are a supreme race and who long for the Confederacy may make him unpopular among leaders in his party. But it’s worth noting that he isn’t persuading voters to hold these beliefs. The beliefs were there — and have been for some time.

Trump has reinvigorated explicit appeals to ethnocentrism, and some voters are responding.

For more coal jobs, hell yeah lol. I don't care if Trump wears a confederate ball cap at the inauguration if he can bring coal jobs back. I don't care if he pisses on the confederation if he brings coal jobs back.

It's about jobs all across the country. Immigration policy affects jobs for the working class, regardless if they are white, black or purple. Environmental policy affects jobs for the working class, regardless if they are white, black or purple. If urban minorities ever wake up to the fact that immigration policy affects them, then it won't just be the republican establishment that's facing a revolt.

The NYT does well in trying to make it about race.

Whoever formulated them? Why doesn't someone do a poll on what Bernie's supporters think of Stalin. They probably think he was a misunderstood agrarian reformer lol.

A significant percentage of Trump voters hold racist views, according to their own statements.
