Based on the General Public, the other two don't know who he is.

Yup, one of the responses was skewed due to the 2 part question and the other was Kanye.

That was my thought when I read the title: why would *any* voters, let alone those most affected by the racism 45 is fanning, doubt for a moment that he is racist?

A few percent might be saying "no" or "not sure" because it's a two-part question: a possible response would be that yes, Trump is racist, but the respondent isn't sure that he made racism worse. Or yes, he has made racism worse, but that the respondent isn't sure about Trump's beliefs. There is a lot of evidence that Trump really is a racist, but not everyone has seen and remembers it. (Questions about "do you think A and B?" are tricky for people who think A but not B, or think B but aren't sure about A.)

Looking at that poll, they got 83% who think Trump has made racism a larger problem, and 13% think he's made no difference. What I really wonder about are the 2% who told the poll that he has made racism a smaller problem.

Currently the article reads that it's more than 8 in 10 (and implicitly less than 9 in 10) feel he is; was it a two part question, or two questions being spoken of as one?

It's always possible they made sure to look far and wide for someone who approved of the current administrator, just so they didn't have to run a headline that says "Yep. He's a racist, and he's making it worse."
