New AP-NORC poll: A majority of Americans across racial and ethnic groups believe discrimination has worsened in the last year against Asian Americans, who became the target of attacks after being unfairly blamed for the coronavirus pandemic. apne.ws/xB9MrAE
The AP-NORC poll finds 60% of Americans say discrimination against Asian Americans has swelled in the U.S. in the last year. That includes 71% of Asian Americans as well as majorities of Black, white and Hispanic Americans. apne.ws/cm5mneT 
As documented Asian-targeted hate crimes rose substantially in 2020, the poll finds close to half of Americans “very” or “extremely” concerned that the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in violent acts against Asian Americans. apne.ws/9g9OdYY
Among Asian Americans, roughly two-thirds said they are “very” or “extremely” concerned the pandemic led to an increase in incidents of violence. A majority of Asian Americans, 57%, say they feel unsafe in public because of their race at least sometimes. apne.ws/IDFKVlI
