Poll Finds Most in U.S. Hold Dim View of Race Relations (Do You Agree?) (924 hits)

A majority of Americans have negative views on race relations, Times/CBS News poll finds

Thursday, July 23, 2015 6:40 PM EDT

A new New York Times/CBS News poll reveals that nearly six in 10 Americans, including heavy majorities of both whites and blacks, think race relations are generally bad and that nearly four in 10 think the situation is getting worse.

By comparison, two-thirds of Americans surveyed shortly after President Obama took office said they believed that race relations were generally good.

Respondents tended to have much sunnier views of race relations in their own communities.

..."The swings in attitude have been particularly striking among African-Americans. During Mr. Obama’s 2008 campaign, nearly 60 percent of blacks said race relations were generally bad, but that number was cut in half shortly after he won."...

How hopeless.
