Perceptions Of Discrimination Track Closely With Voting Against Trump

Researchers asked people if they perceive “a lot” of discrimination against blacks, gays and lesbians, and immigrants. In this chart, the percent of people in any given state who saw “a lot” of discrimination against all three groups is plotted against a state’s vote for Donald Trump in 2016. We’ve highlighted California and Wyoming purely as reference points, showing which states are the farthest-flung.
