An American Majority Project poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates shows that a large majority of voters identify as Americans instead of “people of color,” and that they strongly believe America is the greatest country in the world. However, voters are split over whether the United States is living up to its founding principles. Voters support work requirements for receiving welfare and also overwhelmingly support the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King that the content of a person’s character is more important than the color of their skin.
