Wallace vs Trump

Not for the first or last time, there is a comparison of former Alabama Governor and President Wannabe George Wallace and current President and wannabe reelected president Trump.

The report comes from CNN:

More voters think Donald Trump is a racist than thought George Wallace was in 1968

(CNN)A Quinnipiac University poll out this week shows that a majority (51%) of voters believe that President Donald Trump is a racist. Forty-five percent say that he is not.

To opponents of the President, this poll may not be surprising. But think about it for a second. This isn't just the normal opposition you'd expect to a president. This is a majority of voters saying their president is a racist.

Compare these numbers to a Harris poll from September 1968. Former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, a segregationist, was running for president as an opponent to the Civil Rights movement. As he campaigned, 41% agreed when asked whether Wallace was a racist. That was basically even with the 40% who disagreed with the statement.
