According to a new Rasmussen poll, the majority of Democrats support the idea of paying reparations to the descendants of slaves.
After California Governor Gavin Newsom rolled out a plan to dole out reparations to the descendants of African slaves, the idea has now become an acceptable policy plank of Democratic politics. Newsom’s plan consisted of appointing California Reparations Task Force that would preside over a potential program that would potentially pay $233,000 to each descendant of a slave in California.
Per Rasmussen’s findings, 38% of likely US voters back slavery reparations, which includes 19% who “strongly support” the concept. 54% are against slavery reparations, which includes 42% who “strongly oppose” the concept.
60% of Democrats are in favor of reparations. By contrast, 18% of Republicans and 35% of independent voters support this measure.
