Poll: Almost two-thirds say racial tensions are worse one year after Charlottesville
Nearly two-thirds of Americans said in a new poll that racial tensions have increased in the year since a deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., while respondents were heavily divided along political lines over President Trump's handling of racial issues.
Sixty-one percent of Americans said in the CBS News/YouGov poll that they think that racial tensions have increased, while 29 percent said they thought that they were the same and 10 percent believed they have decreased.
While majorities of white and Hispanic Americans agreed that tensions have increased, African Americans were especially likely to think tensions have risen. More than three-quarters, 78 percent, of black respondents told pollsters that tensions had grown.
Fifty-eight percent of Americans also disapprove of “Trump’s handling of racial issues,” according to the poll.
Majorities of black and Hispanic respondents disapprove, at 82 and 73 percent respectively.
White Americans were much more divided on the issue, with 49 percent approving of Trump’s handling of racial issues and 51 percent disapproving .
