A new survey suggests Black and Latino adults are more optimistic about the state of the country now, after the presidential election, compared to several months ago.
Back in June, just 50% of Latino adults and 48% of Black adults said they were hopeful.
The survey also found that 51% of Black adults and 52% of Latino adults are also less "fearful" in the US in the wake of November's presidential election.

Black and Latino adults in the United States feel more optimistic about the state of the country in the wake of November's presidential election, according to a new survey.
The Pew Research Center released a data analysis finding that Black and Latino adults are more at ease with the country's current climate than they were in June - which was during the height of the protests and civil unrest following the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd.
According to the Pew Research Center, in June, 48% of Black adults and 50% of Latino adults said they were "hopeful" about the state of the US. That changed significantly in November.
The November version of the survey found that 64% of adults from both demographics expressed more confidence. In comparison, 50% of white adults and 54% of Asian adults said they were more hopeful and enthusiastic about the country's direction.
The Pew Research Center survey also found that that 51% of Black adults and 52% of Latino adults said they were less "fearful." In comparison, 67% of Black adults and 68% of Latino adults expressed fear during the June version of the survey.
According to the report, white and Asian adults maintained about the same amount of fear since surveyed in June, at 66% and 65%, respectively.
