Washington (IINA) – Half of America believes the U.S. billionaire Donald Trump’s campaign exhibits fascist undertones, with only 30 percent disagreeing, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll.
Forty-five percent of independents also say Trump’s ani-Muslim campaign has echoes of fascism, as do a full 28 percent of Republicans.
About half the country believes Trump encourages violence at his campaign events, with just 34 percent saying he doesn't. The rest are not sure. Meanwhile, 27 percent of Republicans say it’s acceptable to “r up” protesters at political events.
Two-thirds of those surveyed say there is more violence at Trump’s events than at those for other candidates, with 62 percent saying the clashes are part of a broader pattern rather than isolated incidents.
The survey comes in the wake of dozens of arrests and physical altercations tied to Trump’s campaign rallies, including clashes after an event was canceled in Chicago.
