23 Percent of Republican Men Have Favorable View of White Nationalists

Anew poll shows that nearly a quarter of Republican men surveyed said they have either a very or somewhat favorable view of white nationalists in America today, while a double-digit percentage of the GOP male voters have a “very favorable” view of white nationalist groups.

A Morning Consult national tracking poll of 2,000 registered U.S. voters was released Friday and found that voters overall reject white supremacist groups by overwhelming percentages. {snip}

But among Republican-leaning male voters, 23 percent responded that they have a favorable view of white nationalist groups. Eleven percent of Republican men surveyed said they have a “very favorable” view while 12 percent said they are only “somewhat” favorable to white nationalists in the United States.

Seventeen percent of Democrat men in the survey said they have some form of “favorable” view of white nationalist groups.

Only 7 percent of overall registered U.S. voters said they have a favorable view of white supremacists—several percentage points lower than so-called white nationalists.

On the other hand, the survey found a more than two-thirds majority of both Republican men and women said they have a “very unfavorable” view of Antifa. And even among Democrats and Independents, Antifa barely registered any support above single-digit percentiles. {snip}
