Polls: Public Opposes Preferences

According to an article in the Washington Times, two new polls find that most Americans support the Bush administration’s opposition to racial preferences.

A Time magazine poll found that 54% disapproved of preferences versus 39% who approved. In the Newsweek poll, whites oppose racial preferences by a margin of 73% to 22%, and minorities also disapprove, but by a smaller margin: 56% to 38%.

    The math is wrong here – how can a disapproval of 73% white and 56% minority possibly average out to 54% – this is a mathematical impossibility. I’ll look at the article as I am only reacting to the numbers posted at this website.

    The numbers are from two different polls that reached substantially different results (probably due to wording issues, but I’m just guessing). Reread the post.
