The article says 9% admit it's okay, which the article says is 22 million, but that is bad math. If there are 330 million people in the US, that's closer to 30 million, or about 48% of those who voted for Donald Trump. It all makes sense now.
Not really disputing that, but would like to see the question. It sounds Ike they asked respondents if it is "acceptable" to hold those views, not whether they agree with them, so I wonder if some respondents understood this as a sort of "free speech" question. I am not totally sure that is the right question to have asked.
