Very interesting - more black people oppose what he did today than a year ago.
Colin Kaepernick’s protests of the national anthem started more than a year ago. Yet in that time, opinions on his protest have changed very little. According to a new Yahoo Sports survey, the way Americans felt about Kaepernick in August 2016 is pretty much the way they feel right now, with the surprising exception of one group.
Back in September 2016, 32 percent supported Kaepernick’s protest, and 47 percent opposed it. The numbers since then have not changed appreciably: 30 percent now support his protest, and 46 percent oppose it. Racial breakdowns, however, do waver a bit; in an October 2016 poll, 62 percent of black Americans supported Kaepernick, but that number dropped to 50 percent in the current poll. Just 5 percent opposed Kaepernick last October; that number is up to 11 percent in the most recent one. (Yahoo Sports surveyed 1,100 adults on Aug. 29 and 30, and figures were weighted to match the overall U.S., age 18 and over. )
