Racial Divide: Which Leaders are Biggest Obstacles to the Economy?

The Brogan Survey revealed that Michiganders grade most of their leaders at or below average. Of particular interest is that Caucasians and African Americans feel differently about which leaders pose the biggest obstacle to economic improvement.

Over twice as many African Americans as Caucasians felt that educational leaders have been the biggest obstacle in helping to turn Michigan's economy around. In fact, 20.2% of African American respondents said educational leaders are the largest impediment, while only 9.3% of Caucasians did.

The majority of people in both racial groups felt elected officials are the biggest obstacle to the economy's turn-around, with 58% of Caucasians answering in this way and 51.7% of African Americans doing the same.

Caucasians were slightly more likely to say business and union leaders were the biggest obstacles.

Do these responses warrant a red flag? What do you think these results mean?
