Majority of voters say American society is racist as support for BLM movement grows - but 55% still oppose defunding the police
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8545403/Majority-voters-say-black-Hispanic-Americans-discriminated-against.htmlA new poll shows that a majority of voters believe that American society is racist and that black and Hispanic Americans face discrimination -- but a separate poll finds that most oppose defunding the police.
The Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll of 900 registered voters, conducted from July 9 to 12, found that 56 percent said that they think American society is racist.
This is essentially unchanged from 1988, when an Associated Press poll found that 56 percent believed the U.S. is a racist society.
Meanwhile, a separate Washington Post/ABC News poll found that although 63 percent of adults polled support the Black Lives Matter movement, a 55 percent majority oppose defunding police departments to fund social services.
The poll should be taken with a grain of salt. I would think more than 55 percent are against defunding police.
I suspect most of the people who participated are in the North, where there is more racism.
