Populace, a think tank that “blends research with grassroots advocacy,” just issued the results of a national quantitative survey about Americans’ private opinions about “sensitive topics” in contrast to what they say publicly. One example: when asked publicly, roughly 6 in 10 Americans (59%) say that wearing a mask “was an effective way to stop the spread of COVID-19” but fewer than half (47%) agree to the same statement when asked privately. And there were racial differences: 79% of Asian-Americans agree with that statement (78% when asked privately) but only 50% of white people feel that way—and when asked privately, only 42% do.
A group of questions focused on education issues. Here are highlights from that section:
