decision. just a few days ago cbs news ran a pole asking americans about this very issue. 70% responded that colleges should not be allowed to use race in college admissions. a new york times poll recently found 60% of democrats also oppose race as a factor in admissions. americans across the country have rejected affirmative action at the ballot box too, even in blue state california. in the 2020 election democratic leaders in the state put affirmative action on the ballot. the pro- affirmative action activist, the governor, u.s. senators and the golden state warriors pushed voters to support the initiative. they out bid opponents of affirmative action by 19-1. in the end, nearly 60% of californians voted to kill affirmative action. it didn t work. no matter how hard the democratic party tries, no matter how much money they spend, the american people have rejected the view that we should be judged on our skin color. so if anyone is trying to hold on to the past like the demo
