From the article: "All data found within this report derives from a survey commissioned by Intelligent.com and conducted online by survey platform Pollfish. In total, 1,250 white Americans were surveyed. To qualify for the survey, each respondent had to have previously applied to a college or university in the U.S. Appropriate respondents were found via a screening question. This survey was conducted on July 13, 2021. All respondents were asked to answer all questions truthfully and to the best of their abilities." In other words, they used a single online anonymous sample, which are well known to be biased and - depending on where they sample from - provide less than accurate results. I haven't used Pollfish personally, but looking at their website, .95 USD puts them in Amazon Mechanical Turk territory. Granted, it's been three or four years since I used an online sample provider, but the reliable ones back then charged 3-4 USD+ per response and the fees escalated significantly if you had any specific requirements.
