The media would never do such a poll. It would go against The Narrative.

Not a Mississippi-only poll, but here is a long-term Gallup poll on interracial marriage.

Most Americans Approve of Interracial Marriages

"The poll was conducted June 4-24, 2007, interviewing 2,388 adults nationwide, including 1,302 whites, 802 non-Hispanic blacks, and 502 Hispanics."

"Seventy-five percent of whites approve of marriages between blacks and whites, and 19% disapprove."

"Blacks are even more likely than whites to approve of interracial marriages -- 85% of blacks currently say they approve, leaving 10% of blacks who disapprove and 5% who do not express an opinion."

"The attitudes of blacks about interracial marriage are not available from Gallup's initial 1958 polling on the subject. However, starting with the 1968 poll, a majority of blacks have consistently approved of marriages between blacks and whites."

Wow, can't believe some still people think this way...

The PPP poll shows that Mississippians aged 18-29 are more likely to think interracial marriages should be illegal than those aged 30-45 and those 45-65. The younger generation were pretty similar to those 65 and older in their views on the legality of interracial marriages.

Aged 18-29: 30% say interracial marriages should be legal, while 54% say illegal
Aged 30-45: 48% say legal, while 38% say illegal
Aged 55-65: 49% legal, 39% illegal
Aged 65+: 30% legal, 56% illegal

Republicans in Mississippi think interracial marriage should be made illegal, according to poll | Mail Online

Actually it's already been done. If you look hard enough can find such polls.

Also more Black Women are probably willing to date outside their race than at any other time. Younger Black American women are much less hung up on the issue than older generations.

Well, now that we've gotten that silliness behind us...back to Mississippi Republicans and their impossible backwardness.

Um, yes they do. Federal law prohibits the banning of interracial marriage. States have no say in it.

Funny how everyone is so appalled that people oppose interracial marriage, but have no problem using the same argument on why banning gay marriage is perfectly acceptable.
