A recent poll conducted by PBS NewsHour and Marist College’s Institute for Public Opinion on race relations and racial equality found that the majority of Americans feel race relations are getting worse.
Results from the poll, divided by responses from whites, Blacks and all respondents, showed all three groups were pretty close on their feelings of race relations.
When asked, “Would you say race relations in the U.S. are better, about the same, or worse than they were a year ago” 58 percent of all respondents, 60 percent of whites, and 56 percent of Blacks said they believe race relations are worse.
