Résumé :

Exploiting the coincidence of the U.S. Presidential Elections with the fieldwork period of the European Social Survey, we show that Donald Trump’s win significantly increased self-reported racial bias in policy attitudes outside the U.S. We show that the opposite occurred following Barack Obama’s first election in 2008, while no significant effect occurred when he and George W. Bush were reelected in 2012 and 2004, respectively. We show that the increase in self-reported racial bias is not driven by welfare-related immigration concerns, campaign effects, or bandwagon effects, suggesting a decrease in the social desirability of racial equality.
