    Phil Ochs, thou shouldst be living at this hour

     
    From the latest Public Policy Polling study of Mississippi Republican voters:
    Q14 Do you think interracial marriage should be
    legal or illegal?
    Legal............................................. .................. 40%
    Illegal .................................................. ........... 46%
    Not sure .................................................. ....... 14%
    In judging a two-person singing contest, never award the prize to the second soprano having heard only the first.

    So much for conservatives believing in individual rights.

    I'm sure you actually meant to say "So much for registered Republicans within the state of Mississippi believing in individual rights according to the results of this survey."

    Don't be so crass as to stereotype everyone.
    Good job, friend-of-friends!

    I meant it as I said it. According to Question 15, 76% are conservatives:

    Q15 Would you describe yourself as very liberal,
    somewhat liberal, moderate, somewhat
    conservative, or very conservative?
    Very liberal ................................................. 4%
    Somewhat liberal ............................................ 4%
    Moderate.......................................... .......... 17%
    Somewhat conservative.......... ..
    ........................... 36%
    Very conservative ........................................... 40%

    So it applies everywhere? To all states? To all countries?

    EDIT: what's their definitional structure for "liberal" and "conservative"? It seems they have none, making the information worthless because it lacks a means of determining the actual demographics of the supposed supported opinion. It's a very poor survey, as are most public opinion surveys. Getting your panties in a twist about it is a silly thing to do, given the actual lack of information that this survey has.

    tony, those are self-described labels. Maybe I should have said Mississippi conservatives.
