00:14 Can you take us through some of the areas of the biggest divides?
00:18 Absolutely. So one of the areas that we looked at is, as you said, racial attitudes, and in particular, we asked people whether the legacy of slavery still has an impact on black people in American society today.

00:45 Among Trump supporters, it's just about one quarter. So as you said, that 50 point gap, a pretty huge difference in how people see the impact of the legacy of slavery playing out in today's society.
00:58 Did that surprise you?
