NEW YORK (Reuters) - Americans have spent the past three years debating what impact President Donald Trump’s racially charged remarks have had on society.

An analysis of Reuters/Ipsos public opinion polling from 2016 to 2019 finds that racial anxieties among white Americans have softened since 2016, when Trump was running for office. And survey respondents who reject racial stereotypes are more interested in voting than those who express stronger levels of anti-black or anti-Hispanic biases.
