(A and B) Weekly percentage of the respondents reporting having experienced anger (A) and sadness (B) in the representative 2020 Gallup Panel COVID-19 survey. Percentages and error bars (indicating SEs) are weighted estimates derived through poststratification on gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, and region. Histograms on the right show associated distributions of weeks; the arrows point to the week after Floyd’s death and are labeled with SDs across all 2020 weeks (z scores). (C and D) Increases of anger (C) and sadness (D) experienced by different racial, gender, age, and political groups in the week after Floyd’s death (June 1 to 7) compared to the four baseline weeks (April 27 to May 24); shaded boxes indicate SEs; colors have been added to aid readability. Gallup did not provide weights suitable for the subgroup analysis in C and D; they are unweighted means and SEs. The Overall arrow is based on Gallup weights (same as A and B). Between-bar significances are calculated as the proportion of bootstrapped samples with a greater difference than the observed. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ^†P < 0.1.
