Majority of Americans agree with Supreme Court's affirmative action ban: Poll

A majority of people back the Supreme Court’s decision from last year to end race-conscious admission programs in higher education, according to a survey released Tuesday

A Gallup Center on Black Voices report found that 68% of respondents said the highest court’s June 2023 decision to end affirmative action in colleges and universities is “mostly a good thing.” However, the survey showed a divide among black respondents. Only slightly more, 52%, reported the ruling was a good decision than the 48% who said it was a poor one.
