    Shock poll: 46% of Mississippi Republicans think interracial marriage should be illegal

    A new poll out of Mississippi finds that in a bastion of America's south, many Republican voters have tightly held onto the old, hateful views of race as a dividing line in society.

    A full 46 percent of Mississippi Republicans said they believe interracial marriage should be illegal, according to the left-leaning survey group Public Policy Polling. Only 40 percent said they thought it should remain legal, with the rest unsure.

    =============

    I figure the same poll in LA, AL, GA, KY, TN, VA, NC,SC, would have similar results

    The Repugs' Southern Strategy wasn't racist, either.

    and here's Macaca Allen dog-whistling again:

    Or, left-leaning survey group tries to get attention by taking stupid polls.

    What would be interesting is to see the Demo splits on interracial marriage. Naturally, that is not provided...

    I'll bet they would get similar results or worse from white democrats if they were polled.

    MS GOP: Bryant for Gov., Barbour or Huckabee for Pres.

    lol @ another bouton's poll fail.

    Shocking. Only 32% of those polled were under 45.

    It's the older generation that hangs on to the bigoted nonsense. Thanks for finding a poll to tell us water is wet.
    You are a useful idiot afterall.

    Of course not. That was not the purpose of this targeted "poll".

    Call me an idiot all you want. Just don't call me late for dinner.

    Funny how someone interjected that question in a poll only offered to republicans. Must have been afraid to see how democrats would have responded.

    The crosstabs on this poll are hilarious. It must really piss off ideologues like boutonski to see that 64% of those polled who favor Palin favor interracial marriage. Huckabee pwns all at 73% favorablitly.

    "how democrats would have responded"

    Long-time southern Dems switched to Repug after 1960s integration plus Repugs Southern Strategy (Tricky + a young and already nasty-assed s -bag Roger Ailes) race-baiting them into Repug racism.

    Repugs painted the Dems as the party of blacks and Jews.

    Teysha, it's one of his common themes. You should be used to it by now.

    yes, my common theme is kick-assing into the Lies and Slander of Repugs and right-wingers.

    yes, your common theme is to get slapped with your own poll and then furiously move the goal posts in a failed attempt at redemption.

    Stage 1: boutons crafts a one sided, biased and misleading arguement against repugs
    Stage 2: someone calls him on it and points out culpability on the other side
    Stage 3: boutons ignores democrat culpability and takes the discussion to a more transcendental state along the lines of "the man" trying to keep everybody down.

    All we need now is another round of rebuttals (stage 4) and the inevitable boutons retreat involving some kind of personal insult (stage 5) and our business will be done here.

    I think that's because the sample is 400 from "usual Republican primary voters." It's probably because younger people don't vote in the same numbers as older people, and they probably don't vote as often in the primaries.

    The VRWC needs exposing as long as you right-wing s deny it exists.

    Most polling organizations will attempt to level the population if a representative sample is truly wanted. That does not appear to be the case here.

    how do you know that it's not a true representation? maybe voters younger than 45 make up a significantly smaller percentage of "usual republican primary voters" is all I'm saying.

    I can't know for sure. The other organizations like Pew, and Gallup will release the makeup of their polling populations to keep things clean and clear....which is a fairly common practice. I found no such information from Public Policy Polling which gives pause as to just how representative a sample this actually is.

    My gut feel is, voters < 45 probably make up a smaller percentage than >45. But, gut feelings make terrible polling tools.
