US: 44% of Voters Believe ‘Right Wing Media’ Stoke Racial Fear
Only a third of voters believe former President Barack Obama made racial relations better in America, but a larger percentage agree with his claim that “right wing media” are frightening white people about demographic changes.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 44% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with Obama’s recent statement that “certain right wing media venues … [are] stoking the fear and resentment of a white population that is witnessing a changing America and seeing demographic changes.” Thirty-two percent (32%) of voters disagree with that statement and 24% say they’re not sure.
