Trump is racist, American voters say 51 - 45 percent in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.
White voters are divided as 46 percent say he is racist and 50 percent say he is not, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University National Poll finds. Trump is racist black voters say 80 - 11 percent and Hispanic voters say 55 - 44 percent. Men say 55 - 41 percent that Trump is not racist. Women say 59 - 36 percent he is racist.
But 49 percent of American voters say President Trump's immigration policies are motivated by "a sincere interest in controlling our borders," while 41 percent say his immigration policies are motivated by "racist beliefs."
Voters say 60 - 32 percent that Congress should not begin impeachment proceedings against Trump. Support for starting impeachment proceedings is 61 - 29 percent among Democrats and 66 - 23 percent among black voters, but every other listed party, gender, education, age and racial group is opposed.
Still, voters say 52 - 40 percent that Trump attempted to "derail or obstruct" the investigation into the 2016 election and say 56 - 31 percent that the Mueller Report did not clear the president of any wrongdoing.
A total of 71 percent of American voters are "very concerned" or "somewhat concerned" that a foreign government may try to interfere in the 2020 elections.
"While half of voters think President Donald Trump is racist, religion shows an even bigger divide. Only 21 percent of white Evangelicals believe the President is racist. Compare that to 63 percent of voters who don't affiliate with any organized religion," said Mary Snow, polling analyst for the Quinnipiac University Poll.
"When it comes to the Mueller hearings, minds were not changed on impeachment or that President Trump was cleared of wrongdoing."
"One thing is clear: there is near unanimous support for requiring political campaigns to report any information they receive from foreign governments to the FBI," Snow added.
American voters say 59 - 31 percent that Congress should pass additional laws to protect the 2020 U.S. elections from foreign interference. Republicans say 54 - 34 percent that current laws are enough, the only listed group to believe that.
Voters support 87 - 7 percent, including 80 - 11 percent among Republicans, requiring political campaigns to report to the FBI any information they receive from a foreign government.
And voters say 78 - 13 percent it is never acceptable for a presidential campaign to obtain information on a political opponent from a hostile foreign power.
