NBC News poll: 50% of registered voters say DEI programs should be eliminated.

49% say they create divisions and inefficiencies in the workplace by putting too much emphasis on race and other social factors over merit, skills and experience.

48% say programs should continue “because diverse perspectives reflect our country, create innovative ideas and solutions”.

The share of Latino voters in the survey was too small to analyze the group’s overall views on the issue. The NBC News poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters from March 7-11 via a mix of telephone interviews and an online survey sent via text message. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. This article was originally published on NBCNews.com .
