Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for January 25, 2022
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
January 25, 2022: Fifty-two percent (52%) of voters believe that the United States is generally unfair and discriminatory. A Scott Rasmussen national survey found that 34% disagree and consider it generally fair and decent. [1]
These figures are little changed from a year ago.[2] However, these numbers reflect a dramatic change from the first time Scott asked that question back in the 1990s. In those days, voters routinely said society was generally fair and decent by roughly a 2-to-1 margin.[3]
Democrats see society as generally unfair by a 62% to 27% margin. Independents agree by a 57% to 21% margin. Republicans lean in the opposite direction: 48% say fair and decent while 39% say unfair and discriminatory.
Sixty-seven percent (67%) of Black voters say society is unfair and discriminatory. So do 50% of White voters and 46% of Hispanic voters.[1]
