May 21-22 study by Princeton Survey Research Associates International finds 72% disapprove of giving preferences to blacks and other minorities in things like hirings, promotions, and college admissions., and 75% believing it sometimes or often leads to less qualified people getting hired, promoted, or admitted. Most, 57%, do not believe America has not gone too far in pushing equal rights but about as many think blacks are losing out 30% as say whites are losing out 26% because of racism.

68% say the “poor” have become too dependent upon government assistance, and 67% say the reason blacks “can’t get ahead” is their own fault.

A CNN/Essence magazine poll finds that while only 11% of whites say discrimination against black is very serious 43% of blacks say that. 46% of Whites and 44% of blacks say it is somewhat serious .
