Rasmussen’s Bizarre Poll About Racism | TPMDC
Do you agree?
Yes
No, Whites are the most racist
No, They are the same
I Don't Know
The right-leaning polling firm Rasmussen Reports dove into America’s views of race on Wednesday with a bizarre survey that concluded most of the nation thinks blacks are more likely to be racist than whites.
Going deeper into the poll’s crosstabs shows that 49 percent of Republicans believe “most black Americans (are) racist,” roughly the same percentage of Democrats (47 percent) who said the opposite. A third of Republicans said most black Americans are not racist, while only 11 percent of the GOP said that most white people are racist. Fifty-eight percent of respondents identified as “very conservative” said most blacks are racist, while a plurality of 44 percent “somewhat conservative” respondents said the same.

A study conducted by Fordham University rated Rasmussen as one of the least accurate pollsters of the 2012 election cycle.
