A CBS News/New York Times poll released Monday showed that President Obama’s vision of a post-racial America under his leadership has turned out to be anything but, with more Americans characterizing race relations in the country as “bad” than the poll has found in over two decades.

The survey found that 61 percent of Americans, the most since 1992, believe race relations in the country are in a bad state—and likely to get worse:

A total of 79 percent of African-Americans believe police are more likely to use deadly force against a black person than against a white person, while 53 percent of whites believe race does not play a role, the survey said. […]

Also, fewer than one in five white Americans think race relations are getting better – with 44 percent responding that relations are getting worse and 37 percent saying they’re staying about the same.

The poll found that a majority of both blacks and whites viewed race relations negatively, something that hasn’t happened since 1997. The perspective by white Americans nose-dived since February, with negative perception almost doubling from 35 percent to 62 percent, while African-Americans have had a more consistently negative opinion of the issue than whites.

The poll also surveyed Americans’ perspectives on the Baltimore riots, a majority—64 percent of whites and 57 percent of blacks—deeming them unjustified.

The poll has an overall margin of error of three points (four points for whites and nine points for African-Americans) and was conducted between Thursday, April 30 and Sunday, May 3 among a random sample of 1,027 adults.
