That's not half of his supporters, but it's over a third, and I think 'deplorable' is putting it mildly. It's not their skepticism that makes this portion of the electorate deplorable, it's their racism. And supporters of Democrats with the same attitude are also deplorable, and that's 20-30% of that group, way too high, and shameful.
I think white people in Connecticut are probably smarter and less violent than white people in Alabama.
Do you think that's true or could be shown to be true?
In a similar vein, I'm curious to know how many of Trump's supporters polled who exhibited racist attitudes live in places where they have little to no regular interactions with minorities vs. those who do. I think of my maternal grandfather -- long dead -- who frequently expressed racist views but had lived almost his entire life in a small, lily-white North Dakota town, where his interactions with black, brown, or east-Asian people probably didn't exceed the fingers with which he could count them.
