None o f the people in the ve-

on Opinion of Police
AP W ire S ervice
HAMDEN, Conn. (AP) _ There
is a significant difference in how
blacks and whites in Connecticut view
the way police do their jobs, accord­
ing to a new poll.
The Quinnipiac College poll re­
leased Thursday found that 77 per­
cent o f the white voters surveyed
approved of the job police are doing
statewide while only 36 percent of
black voters approved.
The poll found that among white
voters, 60 percent see police as
friends, but only 26 percent o f the
black respondents see police as
friends.
The poll director said the huge
gap could be the result, in part, o f the
recently highly publicized incidents
involving black suspects shot by
while 48 percent say police treat ev­
eryone else the same.
However, when black voters are
asked the same question, 88 percent
said police are tougher on blacks
while only 9 percent say police treat
white police officers.
When asked about police in their
own communities, 88 percent o f white
voters approve o f the job the locals
are doing, while 55 percent o f black
voters approve.
When asked about police officers
statewide, 37 percent o f white voters
say police are tougher on blacks,
everyone the same.
Quinnipiac College surveyed 649
state residents form April 26-May 2,
who said they are registered voters
and there was a supplemental sample
o f 71 black voters.
The poll has a margin o f error o f
plus or minus 3.7 percent.
