Less than half of Americans are satisfied with the way immigrants and Black, Jewish, Arab and Hispanic people are treated in the United States, according to a new Gallup poll.
The survey, conducted June 2-26, found that 42% of Americans are satisfied with the treatment of Jewish people, down from 51% in 2021. Satisfaction with the treatment of Asian people rose 10 percentage points, nearly returning to pre-2021 levels, when high-profile anti-Asian attacks drew national attention. Majorities remain comfortable with the treatment of Asian and White people, while half say women are treated fairly.
Black and Hispanic Americans are among the least satisfied with how their groups are treated. Just 24% of Black adults say they are satisfied with society’s treatment of Black people, compared with 45% of White respondents and 37% of Hispanics. Women also report lower satisfaction levels than men, 42% to 58%.
Partisan divides persist, with Republicans expressing far more satisfaction than Democrats or independents across most groups.
Overall, Gallup notes that satisfaction has fallen sharply since the early 2000s, when majorities were content with how women, immigrants and minority groups were treated.
