RACISM IS A TOUGH SELL IN AMERICA:

7 in 10 Americans Now Dislike Donald Trump (Eric Levitz, 6/15/16, New York)

Donald Trump isn't good at this. More than a month after becoming the GOP's presumptive nominee, the mogul's approval numbers are in free fall. The latest Washington Post-ABC News poll finds Trump's favorability falling 8 points to a piddling 29 percent, while the percentage of Americans holding an unfavorable view of him has increased by 10 to 70 percent.

It's not just that Trump has alienated every single Hispanic in the United States -- although he nearly has, with 89 percent of the demographic disapproving of the Republican nominee. The mogul's negative ratings have also jumped by double digits in the last month among liberals, conservatives, Republican women, Democratic men, independents, and even non-college-educated whites.

The latter are supposed to be the core of Trump's support.
