This is from the 2016 election, and there are people who complain about some of the details of the methodology of this survey, but it still illustrates some basic points I would like to make.
Notice that Trump supporters are the most racist, and that Bernie supporters are the least racist, but even some Bernie supporters are racist. No one has bragging rights here.
Supporters of H. Clinton, T. Cruz, and Kasich all exhibited similar levels of racism. They are in the ballpark of each other
