A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll finds that 83% of African Americans across the country believe President Trump is a racist and he's exacerbated the country's race problems while in office.
65% of African Americans said it a "bad time" to be a black person in America while 77% said it's a "good time" to be a white person.
9 out of 10 disapprove of Trump's overall job performance.

So much for Hannity and his recent polls of African-Americans showing Trump with 35% approval. Like we all didn't know that was a joke to begin with. Trump only got 8% of the vote.

(3,019 posts)In some ways these polls are heartening, but my worry is, like the last election, when many eligible to vote aren't registered and worse, when they are registered but don't vote, it leaves us vulnerable to really bad candidates and outcomes.

Haway also pointed to the Republican presidents rhetoric about his desire to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border as especially hurtful.

"There are two things Republicans don't like -- (1) Being called a racist . . . . . . and (2) Black people.
