Poll: 68% of Americans find the "Go back" tweets offensive. 57% of Repubs agree with the tweets.

WASHINGTON – A clear majority of Americans say President Donald Trump's tweets targeting four minority congresswomen were "un-American," according to a new USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll. But most Republicans say they agreed with his comments, an illustration of the nation's sharp partisan divide on issues of patriotism and race.

More than two-thirds of those aware of the controversy, 68%, call Trump's tweets offensive. Among Republicans alone, 57% say they agree with tweets that told the congresswomen to go back to the countries "from which they came," and a third "strongly" agree with them. All four lawmakers are American citizens; three were born in the USA.

That finding may help explain the reluctance of GOP leaders and most GOP members of Congress to castigate the president for tweets and comments targeting the congresswomen, liberals who are among his sharpest critics on Capitol Hill. Only four Republicans joined House Democrats on Tuesday in passing a resolution condemning Trump's comments as "racist."
