Mississippi Republicans Not Feeling the Love for Interracial Marriage

The Captain supposes it should come as no surprise that Republicans from a state who wants to produce commemorative license plates honoring the founder of the KKK hold this sentiment, but he can't help but feel more than a little shocked by this poll.

We asked voters on this poll whether they think interracial marriage should be legal or illegal- 46% of Mississippi Republicans said it should be illegal to just 40% who think it should be legal. For the most part there aren't any huge divides in how voters view the [presidential] candidates or who they support for the nomination based on their attitudes about interracial marriage but there are a few exceptions.

Palin's net favorability with folks who think interracial marriage should be illegal (+55 at 74/19) is 17 points higher than it is with folks who think interracial marriage should be legal (+38 at 64/26.)
