Public Sees Trump As Racist, A Divider, And Doing Poor Job

These charts reflect information in a new Quinnipiac University Poll -- done between January 12th and 16th of a random national sample of 1,212 voters, with a margin of error of 3.4 points.
They show Trump still has not improved his job approval numbers. They currently stand at 38% approving and 57% disapproving -- a negative gap of 19 points.
But it's worse than that. By a 21 point margin, Americans think Trump respects whites more than he respects people of color. By a 23 point margin, they think his recent remarks about immigrants from certain countries were racist. And by a 33 point margin, they believe he has been more of a divider than a uniter.
That tells me that not only does the public think Trump is doing a poor job, but they also think he is a racist.
Then we have the chart below. Respondents were asked if Trump was mentally stable. They split on that, with 45% saying yes and 47% saying no.
These are some terrible numbers, and unless he does something to improve them, he's going to be a serious drag on the Republican ticket in November.
