A set of polls<\/a> by Reuters\/Ipsos — the first done just before Cruz and Kasich dropped out of the\u00a0primary race and the second sometime after — suggests that, when it comes to attitudes toward African Americans, Republicans who favored Cruz and (especially) Kasich have more in common with Clinton supporters than they do Trump supporters.<\/p>\n

The first thing to notice is how overwhelmingly common it still is for Americans to believe that “black people in general” are less intelligent, ruder, lazier, and more violent and criminal than whites. Regardless of political affiliation of preferred candidate,\u00a0at least one-in-five and sometimes more than one-in-three will say so.<\/p>\n

But Trump supporters stand out. Clinton and Kasich’s supporters actually have quite similar views. Cruz’s supporters report somewhat more prejudiced views than Kasich’s. But Trump’s supporters are substantially more likely to have negative views of black compared to white people, exceeding the next most prejudiced group by ten percentage points or more in every category.

These differences are BIG. We wouldn’t be surprised to see strong attitudinal differences between Democrats and Republicans\u00a0—\u00a0partisanship drives a lot of polls — but for the\u00a0size of\u00a0the\u00a0difference between Democrats and Republicans overall to be smaller than the size of the difference between Trump supporters and other Republicans is notable.\u00a0It suggests that the Republican party really is divided and that\u00a0Trump has carved out a space within it by cultivated a very specific appeal.<\/p>\nLisa Wade, PhD<\/a> is an Associate Professor at Tulane University.
