Gallup tests issues in their satisfaction survey and race relations has jumped from the bottom to the top in one month. At just 5 percent last month, 18 percent now believe race is the top issue facing the country. Dissatisfaction with government is second at 16 percent and the economy third at 12 percent.
"Since 2000, mentions of race have only once previously been in double digits — in December 2014, when 13 percent mentioned race as the top problem facing the nation. Race was infrequently mentioned as the top problem facing the nation from 1970 through 2000, with the exception of May 1992, a week after the Rodney King verdicts in Los Angeles, when 15 percent mentioned race as the top problem," said Gallup.
