The Hill reports the findings of a Hill-HarrisX poll asking people if relations between the police and people of color have gotten better, worse, or stayed the same during the past year. Basically, in the year since the negligent-death-during-arrest of George Floyd.
The overall findings: 45% say "worse," 43% say "same," and 12% say "better." I suppose I can't blame The Hill for reaching for the more shocking interpretation, "click-bait" is the name of today's publication game.
A plurality of voters said relations between the police and people of color have gotten worse in the past year.
An equally valid, but less 'newsworthy' interpretation is that a majority (43 + 12 = 55%) say such relations are either the same or better than before. Disaggregated by group, majorities of Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites all said police-POC relations were no worse than before.
My preferred 'shock headline' would have been "Few see improvement in police-POC relations since George Floyd Died," which is another valid way to spin these same findings.
