Americans Disagree With Obama On The State Of Race Relations | FiveThirtyEight

I have to disagree with the President and agree with the poll finding of the Five Thirty eight  Blog .  "In an interview with NPR published Monday, President Obama said race relations have improved during his presidency. A look at polling data shows that the public disagrees — particularly after the Michael Brown and Eric Garner grand jury decisions. Americans’ assessments of race relations are worse than at any point since the 1990s.



For more than a decade, polling had found that a majority of Americans thought race relations were “generally good.” Optimism spiked with Obama’s election. But pessimism has grown after the events in Ferguson, Missouri, and Staten Island. In a CBS News survey conducted this month, 45 percent of respondents said race relations are “generally good” in the United States. That compares to 43 percent who said race relations are “generally bad.”
