After dipping to a new low last year following the George Floyd killing, Black Americans' confidence in the police has mostly recovered but remains low. Currently, 27% of Black adults in the U.S. say they have "a great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in the police, up from 18% in 2020 but similar to the levels seen between 2014 and 2019. Meanwhile, White Americans' confidence in police is unchanged from a year ago and lower than it had been before the Floyd incident. Last year's update of this Gallup trend, measured in June and July 2020, found 37 percentage points separating the figures for White and Black Americans. With the uptick in confidence among Black Americans this year, the gap has decreased to 29 percentage points. The current Black-White difference is similar to the average 30-point gap between 2014 and 2019, a period marked by several high-profile events in which Black people were killed in incidents with White police officers.
