A Gallup poll released Wednesday found Americans appear to be increasingly concerned about race relations.

When asked to rate how much they personally worry about race relations, 42 percent of respondents in the survey said they worry “a great deal.” That number ticked up steadily over the course of the Obama administration, more than tripling since Gallup’s poll from March of 2010 when only 13 percent said the same. Notably, 2017’s poll came after two months of a Trump administration.
