GNU Policy Preferences - Race-Based Appointment and Procurement Policies
This report investigates post-GNU policy preferences towards race-based government appointments and procurement. The data in the report comes from a survey of 1 204 demographically and geographically representative registered voters conducted by the Foundation during September of 2024. That survey had a margin of error of 3%.

TENTATIVE CONCLUSIONS

This is in line with previous Foundation surveys that have found strong support for appointments and procurement based on merit.
