Trump voters really are "deplorables"

Today from Public Policy Polling:

PPP's newest national poll finds that Donald Trump's approval rating is pretty steady in the wake of the Charlottesville attack, probably because his supporters think that whites and Christians are the most oppressed groups of people in the country. 40% of voters approve of the job Trump is doing to 53% who disapprove, little change from the 41/55 spread we found for him in July.

The reason Trump hasn't lost more ground for his widely panned response to the attack is probably that many of his supporters agree with some of the beliefs that led white supremacists to rally in Charlottesville in the first place. 

Asked what racial group they think faces the most discrimination in America, 45% of Trump voters say it's white people followed by 17% for Native Americans with 16% picking African Americans, and 5% picking Latinos. Asked what religious group they think faces the most discrimination in America, 54% of Trump voters says it's Christians followed by 22% for Muslims and 12% for Jews. 

There is a mindset among many Trump voters that it's whites and Christians getting trampled on in America that makes it unlikely they would abandon Trump over his 'both sides' rhetoric...

That is, the people who voted for Trump are not only moral idiots and ignoramuses, they are crybabies. They're the real victims!

And of course there's racism:

In a finding that says a lot about how we got to where we are today, Trump voters say they would rather have Jefferson Davis as President than Barack Obama 45/20. Obama wins that question 56/21 with the overall electorate...Overall 39%[of voters] say they support monuments honoring the Confederacy...Trump voters support them by a 71/10 spread---to put those numbers into perspective, only 65% of Trump voters oppose Obamacare, so this is a greater unifier for the Trump base.

Jefferson Davis was more forthright about his racism than Donald Trump:

We recognize the negro as God and God's Book and God's Laws, in nature, tell us to recognize him. Our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude. (Jefferson Davis, 1861)
