WHOA 64% to 29% of democrats.

I find the shift in black and Hispanic responses interesting as well. They were higher than white people before and now lower.

yeah it was a "first time?" moment

white people had chances to be employed for hundreds years earlier and still couldn't make it, while for many black people, it was the first time that they felt they got a chance too. 10 years later, many are disillusioned. i guess
