Most Americans have an unfavorable view of Critical Race Theory (CRT), a survey from The Economist/YouGov found.
The survey, taken May 15-17 of this year among 1,500 U.S. adults, asked respondents whether they have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of CRT.
Most respondents, 52 percent, said they have an “unfavorable” opinion of the Marxist ideology. Of those, 45 percent have a “very unfavorable” opinion. Another 45 percent have a favorable opinion of the radical ideology, but of those, only 27 percent have a “very” favorable opinion. That includes 81 percent of Democrats, but the vast majority of Republicans and independents — 88 percent and 65 percent, respectively — view CRT unfavorably.
A plurality, 41 percent, said they are not sure if CRT is being taught in schools in their community. An even greater plurality, 44 percent, said CRT should not be taught in schools in their communities. Just over a quarter, 26 percent, said it should be taught, and 30 percent said they are unsure.
