Asking "do you disapprove or approve?" skews the numbers higher than asking "should it be illegal or legal?"
- LyndsySimon 9y agoAbsolutely. There are tons of things that I don't "approve of", but I would never be in favor of using the force of government to force those views on others.
- rayiner 9y agoSure, but where interracial marriage is already illegal (as it was in the 1950s due to overwhelming popular disapproval) it’s unlikely to be made legal during a period when the majority of voters still disapprove of it. You’re seeing this with marijuana now.
