Some poll and election results after 2020[edit]
- 2020 California Proposition 16 57% voted to keep Proposition 209 that "banned the use of race- and gender-based affirmative action in California's public sector."
- Pew Research (1) "More than nine-in-ten Americans (93%) say high school grades should be at least a minor factor in admissions decisions, including 61% who say they should be a major factor. Grades are, by far, the criteria the public says should most factor into admissions decisions."
- Reuters/Ipsos "Sixty-two percent of Americans say race and ethnicity should not be considered at all in college admissions"
- Associated Press and NORC May 30, 2023 "Two-thirds of U.S. adults think the Supreme Court should permit the consideration of race and ethnicity of applicants in the admissions process. This includes a majority of both Democrats (65%) and Republicans (60%). There is no significant difference based on race or ethnicity either."
- Pew Research (2) "[...] half of U.S. adults say they disapprove of selective colleges and universities taking prospective students’ racial and ethnic backgrounds into account when making admissions decisions. Fewer (33%) approve of colleges considering race and ethnicity to increase diversity at the schools, [...]"
- Pew Research (3) "About two-thirds (64%) of Asians who identify as Democrats or lean toward the Democratic Party say affirmative action is a good thing. By contrast, only 32% of Asian Republicans or Republican leaners say the same."
- Gallup January 16, 2024 "Hispanic adults are most likely to view the decision as positive for higher education in the U.S. but are mixed evenly in terms of the impact on applicants of their own race."
I'm not saying the Supreme Court's decision was right. Just some FYI.--Äxl (talk) 14:44, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
