July 16, 2020: When it comes to the founding ideal of equality, 52% of voters nationwide say we're doing at least somewhat well. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 46% disagree. The totals include 23% who say we’re doing very well and 19% who say not at all well.[1]
Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Republicans believe the nation is doing okay when it comes to equality. Just 47% of independents and 33% of Democrats agree.[1]
As on many issues, there is an interesting difference between the opinions of white Democrats and non-white Democrats. Just 28% of white Democrats think the nation is doing at least somewhat well in terms of living up to the ideal of equality. However, non-white Democrats are a bit more upbeat; 40% think the nation is doing okay.[1]
Data released earlier showed that 74% of voters nationwide believe that “In daily life, most Americans generally get along regardless of race. They find ways to work together and create a better community.”
