RALEIGH, N.C., April 8 (UPI) -- Almost half of Mississippi Republicans say they believe interracial marriage should be outlawed, a poll indicates.
A survey conducted March 24-27 and released Friday by Public Policy Polling of Raleigh, N.C., showed 46 percent of Republicans in Mississippi said they believe interracial marriage should be illegal.
The survey indicated 40 percent said they felt mixed-race weddings should remain legal, while 14 percent said they were not sure.
The poll showed 76 percent of those who responded considered themselves somewhat or very conservative with 68 percent of the respondents age 46 or older.
Interracial marriage in Mississippi became legal in 1967 after the U.S. Supreme Court overruled the state's laws.
