Rasmussen Poll Breakdown and the SPLC

A representative from Rasmussen Reports breaks down the actual numbers from the "It's okay to be white" poll, noting that 72% of American adults agreed with the statement. The hosts discuss how the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) labeling the phrase as hate speech influenced the "not sure" responses. They conclude that Scott Adams' interpretation of the poll as a "majority" of Black people being anti-white was factually incorrect.
