ABC News Poll Shows More Americans Approve the Supreme Court's Decision Blocking Racist College Admissions Than Supported Trump in 2020

One of the first polls on the Supreme Court’s decision Thursday to forbid racial preference in college admissions is out, and unsurprisingly, to anyone who is not embalmed in Critical Race Theory, most approve.

Quote
A majority of Americans approve of the Supreme Court ruling restricting the use of race as a factor in college admissions, though the country is more divided on other high-profile rulings and increasingly viewing the court as driven more by politics than the law, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court set new limits on affirmative action programs in cases involving whether public and private colleges and universities can continue to use race as one factor among many in student admissions.

A little more than half of Americans – 52% — approve of the U.S. Supreme Court decision on restricting the use of race as a factor in college admissions, while 32% disapprove and 16% saying they don’t know.

A majority of Republicans (75%) and independents (58%) approve of the ruling, while a distinct minority of Democrats approve (26%).

At the racial group demographic level, the decision is more popular.

Most white people (60%) and Asian people (58%) approve of the Supreme Court’s decision to limit the use of race in college admissions, while only 25% of Black people support the decision. Hispanic people are split, with 40% approving and 40% disapproving.

Politically, this doesn’t seem to be an issue that will work for the Democrats. Hispanics split 40-40 in the ABC poll over race-based affirmative action in college admissions. Only 32% of Hispanic voters pulled the lever for Donald Trump in 2020 indicating this decision was more popular than the GOP. Black voters gave Trump 12% of their votes, making the Supreme Court decision over twice as popular. Asians find the decision 24 points more attractive than Trump. In fact, the decision has more than five times the popularity with Democrats as Trump.

Basically to support AA  liberals have to support discriminating against Asian-Americans. They refuse to talk about that on various talk forums I get.
They seem to think the only people not upset by the decision are rich white people especially legacies.
The case was originated by an Asian-American family with a child who scored well above some other minority children who got admitted to prestigious colleges over him.
Enough is enough. Blacks have to learn to pull their weight without gov. putting its thumb on the scale for them.
