Majority Of Black Americans Approve Of Supreme Court Striking Down Race-Based Admissions: POLL

More than half of black Americans approve of the Supreme Court striking down race-based admissions, according to a Tuesday Gallup poll.

The Supreme Court ruled in June that race-based admissions in two separate cases at Harvard and the University of North Carolina (UNC) violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. A new poll revealed that the decision is broadly popular with the American people, with more than two-thirds of Americans saying it was “mostly a good thing” as well as 52% of black Americans, according to Gallup.

Among Americans, 48% of Asian adults say the ruling will have a positive impact, as well as 47% of white adults, according to the poll. Similarly, 45% of Hispanic adults agreed, whereas 33% of black adults said the same thing.
