John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll, stated: "It's clear that there are groups within America for whom the potential policies of the new administration are going to directly impact their lives," highlighting the direct consequences of political decisions on marginalized communities.
The data reveals staggering concerns among marginalized groups, with 63% of LGBTQ+ respondents and 57% of AAPI and Black Americans expressing fears for their personal safety, reflecting a climate of anxiety and uncertainty.
An overall majority of 68% of Americans report increased concerns regarding domestic violence, suggesting a growing social apprehension that goes beyond individual or community specific fears.
Despite a general sense of optimism for 2025 (63% of Americans), significant declines in optimism are seen among minority groups, indicating deeper socio-political rifts and a troubling outlook on safety and rights.
