Jesse Rhodes, Tatishe Nteta, and Adam Eichen from UMass Poll have written an editorial discussing how racial prejudice could influence the 2024 election. They acknowledge the uncertainty surrounding the exact impact but emphasize that their polling indicates racial attitudes still play a significant role in American elections. Despite progress toward racial equality, they argue that more work is needed to address persistent racial bias. Rhodes and Nteta are professors of political science and key leaders of the UMass Amherst Poll, while Eichen is a doctoral candidate and research fellow for the poll.
