Polling data that measures race relations may always be looked upon skeptically by African Americans, but the Gallup Organization tries each year to measure -- by "oversampling" African Americans and Latinos -- the level of racial harmony in the country.

NPR's Tavis Smiley speaks with Frank Newport, the editor in chief of the Gallup Poll.
