A new ABC News\/Ipsos Poll will not warm the hearts of Leftists. By a wide margin, Americans support the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision striking down Affirmative Action – the use of race to determine who gets into colleges and universities. It was not close – 52% to 32%. The number was even higher among Independent voters – 58%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nA majority of Americans approve of the Supreme Court ruling restricting the use of race as a factor in college admissions, though the country is more divided on other high-profile rulings and increasingly viewing the court as driven more by politics than the law, according to a new ABC News\/Ipsos poll<\/a> conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Thursday, the Supreme Court set new limits on affirmative action programs<\/a> in cases involving whether public and private colleges and universities can continue to use race as one factor among many in student admissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little more than half of Americans — 52% — approve of the U.S. Supreme Court decision on restricting the use of race as a factor in college admissions, while 32% disapprove and 16% saying they don’t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A majority of Republicans (75%) and independents (58%) approve of the ruling, while a distinct minority of Democrats approve (26%). And there are deep divisions between racial groups. Most white people (60%) and Asian people (58%) approve of the Supreme Court’s decision to limit the use of race in college admissions, while only 25% of Black people support the decision. Hispanic people are split, with 40% approving and 40% disapproving. . . . .<\/p>\nABC NEWS<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
