Poll: Obama’s election boosts African-Americans’ views of America.»

Via TPM Election Central, a new Rasmussen poll shows that the election of Barack Obama has had an immediate impact on many African-Americans’ views of America. The poll, taken two days after Obama was elected, found that “the percentage of black voters who view American society as fair and decent jumped 18 points to 42%.” The percentage saying that America is still unfair and discriminatory fell from 64 percent in early October to 46 percent today.

3. It certainly boosted my view.
I even thought about putting a flag up outside my house for the first time ever.

5. Nice to hear. And you'd be way ahead of me. That flag
hasn't flown here in a long time. Might be time to revisit that.
