Sixty-one percent of Americans now say race relations in the United States are bad, the highest percentage since 1992, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll, which finds that majorities of both whites and blacks now view race relations negatively.
In the wake of the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore and the unrest that followed, Americans' views on race relations in the U.S. have grown significantly more pessimistic. Sixty-one percent now say race relations are generally bad, up 23 points from earlier this year. It is the first time a majority has held this view since the 1990s. Just a third of Americans now say race relations are good. These opinions are the most negative this poll has found since 1992, when riots broke out in Los Angeles following the acquittal of police officers in the beating of Rodney King.
I dont think anything has really changed that much, its just that these stories are slammed into the left wing media everyday to bash white people while trying to make it seem like anyone cares about this problem.
Obama just threw gas on a fire that was going out.

That's a sufficient sample size. A lot of people don't understand that how a sample is collected is more important than sample size. If the a true random sample is taken and the poll says 61 percent said this or that you can be 95% confident that the true percent of people who felt that way is within + or - 3 percent. So 95 percent confident the truth was between 58 and 64.
If you don't have that true random sample or some probability sample of some sort you don't know anything. A true random sample of 1,000 is a lot better than a "haphazard" sample of 1,000,000,000. It's not really the size that matters. It's how you can relate the sample collected to probability theory.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star? Deep Purple: No One Came
