Black, Hispanic Americans struggle to pay bills because of the pandemic

A new AP-NORC poll finds that nearly half of Black Americans and about 4 in 10 Hispanic Americans say they have been unable to pay at least one bill, while about 2 in 10 white Americans report the same.


Results based on interviews with 1,075 U.S. adults conducted August 17–20. The margin of error is ±4.1 percentage points for the full sample.
