CBS News/New York Times Poll: Race Relations Worst In Over 2 Decades
” A new poll released Monday indicated that Americans believe race relations are at their worst in more than two decades.
The CBS News/New York Times poll said 61 percent of Americans characterize race relations in the U.S. as “bad,” including a majority of white and black respondents. The figure is the highest since 1992.
A total of 79 percent of African-Americans believe police are more likely to use deadly force against a black person than against a white person, while 53 percent of whites believe race does not play a role, the survey said.Black respondents were also more likely than white respondents to believe their local police make them feel anxious rather than safe, the poll said.”
