Poll: State of race relations depends on who is asked
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- As Sen. Barack Obama -- an Illinois Democrat and the Senate's only African-American -- mulls a presidential bid, a new CNN poll indicates Americans have mixed feelings on the state of race relations.

According to the poll -- conducted for CNN by Opinion Research Corporation -- 33 percent of blacks think that many white people dislike them while another seven percent feel they are disliked by all white people. In all, four in 10 black Americans feel disliked by whites.

Conversely 69 percent of whites polled believe only a few whites dislike blacks while 24 percent of whites say that many white people dislike blacks.

The full poll results will be discussed and analyzed on a special edition of tonight's Paula Zahn Now, 8 p.m. ET.
