(101,309 posts)With the Republican answers:
23. How serious a problem do you think that prejudice against - minority groups is in the United States today; a very serious problem (14%), a somewhat serious problem (34%), a not so serious problem (32%), or not a problem at all (15%)?
24. How serious a problem do you think that prejudice against - white people is in the United States today: a very serious problem (17%), a somewhat serious problem (39%), a not so serious problem (25%), or not a problem at all (15%)?
The Republican answers for qs 25 and 26 - 'black people' and 'Hispanic people and Latinos' are even worse.
And yes, the Republicans are also the outliers on climate change - only 32% of them think more ought to be done. No other grouping gets below 60% for that (that 2nd lowest being 'white men' - who are overstuffed with Republicans).
