Nearly nine in 10 people say race relations in the United States have not improved under President Obama, according to a new poll.

The New York Times-CBS poll found the majority, 52 percent, said race relations have stayed about the same. Another 35 percent said relations have gotten worse.

Only one in 10 said race relations have improved during the tenure of the first black president.

The poll comes amid turmoil in Ferguson, Mo., were protests appear to be calming after more than a week of clashes with police following the shooting of black 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white officer.

Fifty-nine percent of black people and 50 percent of white people say race relations have stayed the same under Obama.

Forty percent of white people believe relations have gotten worse, twice the percentage of black people.

Forty-seven percent of conservatives said race relations are getting worse under Obama. Twenty-two percent of liberals said the same.
