The Christian Science Monitor cited the Ƶ Poll in an April 29, 2008, editorial on the issue of race in the presidential elections. Headlined “Race rears again in campaign,” the Boston-based newspaper analyzed the way Illinois Sen. Barack Obama had dealt with issues related to race in the Democratic primaries.
From the paper:
“What voters tell pollsters is one thing; what motivates them may be
another. In an Ƶ poll of North Carolinians this month, 91
percent described themselves as free from the race factor in political
choices. It’s the other guy, someone they know, who won’t vote for a
black (54 said that). Race also gets entwined with class, making it
hard to trace.”
