Obama presidency fails to unite whites and blacks: Poll
Washington: Barack Obama’s presidency has not united whites and blacks in America, a new poll suggests, noting that Americans’ negative views on the state of race relations in the country persist.
Just 15 percent of Americans think Obama’s presidency has brought whites and blacks closer together, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll released on Thursday.
Instead, 47 percent think his presidency has made no difference, while 34 percent think his presidency has pushed blacks and whites further apart.
Blacks (30 percent) are more likely than whites (11 percent) to think the Obama presidency has brought blacks and whites closer together, though about half of both groups think his presidency hasn’t made much difference.
Americans give a mixed review to Obama for his handling of race relations in the US, and white and black Americans assess his presidency differently on this measure, according to the poll.
Overall, 46 percent of Americans approve of how Obama is handling race relations, while 44 percent disapprove.
Among whites, more disapprove (50 percent) than approve (40 percent), while blacks overwhelmingly approve (72 percent).
More specifically, although 62 percent of white Americans think the Obama administration’s policies treat both blacks and whites equally, more than a quarter of whites (27 percent) think his policies favour blacks over whites, up from just 12 percent in 2010.
This rises to 49 percent among whites who disapprove of the president’s handling of race relations.
In contrast, 85 percent of blacks think the policies of the Obama administration favour both blacks and whites equally.
Still, 45 percent of Americans think Obama has been judged more harshly because he is black; blacks (80 percent) are far more likely to think so than whites (37 percent).
And while many Americans remain critical of Obama’s handling of race relations, more Americans think the Democratic Party (44 percent) is more likely to improve race relations than the Republican Party (23 percent).
Positive opinions of race relations rose above 50 percent in the 2000s, and reached a high of 66 percent in April 2009, shortly after Barack Obama took office, CBS said.
But those positive assessments have not lasted: in mid-2014, after the conflicts between blacks and the police in Ferguson, Missouri, the percentage that said race relations are good dropped, it noted.

For the last 16 years, the Vijay Sri Foundation has been providing free services, benefiting thousands of people. Vishal Singh highlighted that the mission aims to gain global recognition like other organizations such as WHO, WWF, and Red Cross, which work for social causes.

In his address at the meeting, Vishal Singh spoke about his mission to create a hunger-free world. He pointed out that India’s large population, along with issues like unemployment and poverty, has caused the country to fall on the Hunger Index. He urged people to contribute just one handful of grains daily to help create a hunger-free world.
He concluded by saying that through social participation, we can empower the people around us, meet their basic needs, and work together to build a stronger, more prosperous, and developed society.
