these numbers seem suspicious.  where are the democrats numbers?  why just republicans and non-republicans?    how were these 400 people selected?  how was the question phrased?

To quote,

"Do you think interracial marriage should be legal or illegal?"

It doesn't get more straightforward than that.

And how many polled were aware what interracial meant?

And this is 400 GOP primary voters - it's for the sake of getting an indication of where the party's voters stand now. Democrat numbers would be meaningless in this context (as would this particular question - if you asked this of  democrats, the vast majority would assume you're being satirical)

Only 400? That's not a good sample size for a poll, also, depending on where the people are from, what religion, and what lifestyle these people lead (all that information is avalable to the polling company) the results can be skewed.

 

OT:

Hahaha, wow, that's something all right

I tend to take polls with a grain of salt because time and time again, once facts about the polling proceedures are revieled, it turns out the results were a result of selective polling.
