Americans Feel Better About Race Relations, And Other Trump Poll Results The Press Doesn't Want You To Know About

How do you cover a poll that shows satisfaction with the economy, despite all the harrumphing about an impending recession, is much higher than it ever was under President Barack Obama? Or reveals that views on race relations are actually better today than three years ago? Or shows that most think the political system is being shaken up in a good way?

Here's the scary headline NBC News ran on the poll it conducted with the Wall Street Journal and published over the weekend: "'A deep and boiling anger': NBC/WSJ poll finds a pessimistic America despite current economic satisfaction.

More people feel good about race relations today than they did under Obama.

The poll found that more than a third say that relations between races are very or fairly good.

Instead, it focuses on the finding that 56% think race relations have gotten worse under Trump.

A CNN poll taken in 2016 found that 54% said race relations had worsened under Obama.

A Rasmussen poll that year found that 60% of likely voters thought relations between races had deteriorated over the prior eight years.
