Sixty-seven percent of women, including 66 percent of white women, in a recent Morning Consult/ASCEND poll agreed that women are paid less than men for doing similar work. But when asked whether non-white women are paid less than white women for doing the same work, that number dropped to 39 percent among all women and 34 percent among white women — even though Labor Department data shows that median earnings among women of color are lower than those of white women.

Already the second highest grossing film of all time, “Avengers: Endgame” is unquestionably a cultural force. Newly released Brand Intelligence data finds it also helped boost Marvel Studio’s already sterling reputation with consumers.
|
|
In the days following Endgame’s release in late April, 51 percent of Americans reported having seen positive buzz about Marvel studio. That’s seven percentage points higher than the next highest peak in buzz over the last two and a half years (the period Morning Consult has tracked Marvel). The previous high of 44 percent came in the days following the release of “Infinity War.”

|
This spike in positive buzz for Marvel also translated to spike in favorability: In early May, Marvel’s favorability peaked at 66 percent, the highest point since Morning Consult began tracking.

Warren’s plan would cancel up to $50,000 in student loan debt for every person with household income under $100,000.

In 1980, about a quarter of the census tracts in America were almost exclusively white — 97 percent non-Hispanic white or more — and one-third of white residents lived in such a neighborhood. By the latest census data, just 5 percent of white residents live in such a place, mostly in rural areas.
