DIVIDER-IN-CHIEF: Race relations have plummeted since Obama took office, according to poll. “Only 52 percent of whites and 38 percent of blacks have a favorable opinion of race relations in the country, according to the poll, which has tracked race relations since 1994 and was conducted in mid-July by Hart Research Associations and Public Opinion Strategies. That’s a sharp drop from the beginning of Obama’s first term, when 79 percent of whites and 63 percent of blacks held a favorable view of American race relations. . . . The increased division is a long way from the hope for improved race relations that fueled and accompanied Obama’s 2008 victory.”
