The charts above reflect the results of the new Economist / YouGov Poll -- done between August 30th and September 1st of a national sample of 1,209 registered voters, with a 3.6 point margin of error.
Donald Trump doesn't seem to think this country has a racial problem. In fact, by demonizing the people protesting against police brutality and for equal justice, he is making the problem worse.
Fortunately, the voting public is smarter than that. They know that racism is a serious problem in the United States. They also know that minorities don't get equal treatment in the justice system. And they know that the police don't treat Blacks the way they treat Whites. And they want the situation fixed!
Trump is trying to scare Whites into voting for him (much like Nixon did in 1968). But this is not 1968, and most Whites want a system that is fair to everyone. I think Trump is making a big mistake by appealing to racism in Whites. The racists are very vocal, but they are no longer a majority.
