Donald Trump traveled to Reno, Nevada on Wednesday to deliver a speech to the American Legion. The theme was supposed to be centered on his newfound desire to unite the nation. “It is time to heal the wounds that have divided us,”<\/em> he lied. “And to seek a new unity based on the common values that unite us. We are one people, with one home, and one flag.”<\/em> But that’s a long reach for the person most responsible for dividing the nation and spreading hate.<\/p>\n

That perception of Trump’s divisiveness was confirmed in a new poll<\/a><\/strong> by Quinnipiac University. The survey revealed that the nation regards Trump as contributing to the great divide by a factor of two-to-one:<\/p>\n

“President Donald Trump is doing more to divide the country, 62 percent of voters say, while 31 percent say he is doing more to unite the country, his worst score on this question, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That was only the beginning of the bad news for Trump in this poll. On nearly every question he fared poorly in the view of the American people. His approval rating dipped to a low of thirty-five percent. Fifty-nine percent say that his decisions and behavior have encouraged white supremacist groups. Sixty-five percent say that the level of hatred and prejudice in the U.S. has increased. American voters disapprove 60-32 percent of Trump’s response to the events in Charlottesville. And despite Trump’s “all sides”<\/em> are evil rhetoric, sixty-four percent of voters say that it’s white supremacist groups that pose a threat to the U.S.<\/p>\n

On questions of presidential morality, Trump takes a serious beating. Sixty-two percent say that Trump does not provide the U.S. with moral leadership. And breaking that down into specifics only makes it worse:<\/p>\n
