The General Social Survey (GSS) routinely asks Americans the following question:
[C]onsider a person who believes that Black people are genetically inferior... A. If such a person wanted to make a speech in your community claiming that Black people are inferior, should he be allowed to speak, or not?
In the 2026 survey, will the survey results show a majority favouring allowing it, as opposed to not allowing it, in the described situation?
See this chart for results in prior years.
