The issue of diversity, equity and inclusion programs is among the most closely divided and polarizing questions in the United States on time National NBC news survey.

President Donald Trump has dismantled Dei programs an early objective of his administration, and voters are divided on the future of workplace programs, with deep differences according to their political party.

Half of the registered voters (49%) in the NBC survey According to the Dei programs, the programs should be eliminated “because they create divisions and ineffectiveness in the workplace by emphasizing the race and other social factors on merit, skills and experience.”

And 48% say that the workplace programs should continue “because various prospects reflect our country, create innovative ideas and solutions, encourage unity and make our workplaces fair and inclusive.”

Invited to share if they have positive or negative feelings with regard to Dei programs, a slightly higher share of voters (43%) say they have negative feelings, while 39% have positive opinions and 14% are neutral. (The survey’s margin of error is more or less 3.1 percentage points.)

The divisions on Dei are part of a broader cultural split. In another question of the survey asking them to choose between two different declarations, 51% of voters say that there is “too much political correction in our society today, and too much pressure on people to limit what they can do or say to avoid others.” Meanwhile, 45% say that there is “too much prejudice in our society today and people must be more respectful in what they do and say to avoid others.”

Asset delivered a decree During his first day of power to put an end to Dei programs in federal agencies, which prompted Some private companies To also reduce programs focused on increasing diversity in the workplace. The Department of Education launched surveys on more than 50 colleges and universities As part of a broader thrust against the DEI programs. The Federal Communications Commission also moved to Open a survey on Dei practices in Comcast. (Comcast has Nbcuniversal, the parent company of NBC News.)

“When we see these animated conversations at a partisan level about Dei, it really comes down to: How do they look at American society today?” Where do they see problems? And this will lead to very different solutions and very different approaches, “he said the Democratic Survey Aileen Cardona-Arroyo by Hart Research Associates, which led the Solster with public opinion strategies, a Republican survey company.

Below the surface of the global division of the electorate are large gaps according to the affiliation and race of the voter party. 80% of Republicans believe that there is too much correction of politically, while 77% of Democrats say that there is too much prejudice. The self -employed are divided, 46% saying that there is too much political correction and 43% saying that there is too much prejudice.

An overwhelming part of Republicans (85%) thinks that the Dei programs should be eliminated, while the same share of Democrats thinks that they should continue. More self -employed are rolled out on the side of the Democrats on this issue, with 59% saying that the programs should continue and 39% saying that they should be eliminated.

And while young people were more likely to support Dei programs than older respondents, the question highlights another example of a wide difference between sexes among young voters on politics in the Trump era.

Among women aged 18 to 49, 67% say that the Dei programs should continue, while 31% want to eliminate them. But among men aged 18 to 49, 40% want to continue the Dei programs, while 57% say they should be eliminated. More elderly women support the programs that are older men, but the gap between them is not as important.

“The investigation also underlines that there is more political and salience intensity for the Republicans around these questions than for the Democrats,” said Cardona-Arroyo, noting the extremely negative opinions of the programs of the voters who make up the basis of Trump, including white men without university education, the Republicans of Maga Self-Report and the Auto-Disça conservatives.

The republican survey Bill Mcinturff for public opinion strategies said that Trump’s actions on Dei and other questions such as immigration underline the president Almost unified republican supportwhich strengthened Trump’s first approval issues.

“You can see how his efforts, including Dei, really resonate with his central political base,” said Mcinturff.

The survey also finds divisions according to racial lines, with a majority of white voters claiming that the Dei programs should end and that there is too much correct in society. White women holding university degrees were the exception among white voters, with 59% saying that there are too many prejudices and two -thirds who say that the Dei programs should continue.

An overwhelming share of black voters (80%) say that the Dei programs should persist, and 71% say that there is too much prejudice in society today. The share of Latin voters in the survey was too small to analyze the group’s overall opinions on the issue.

The NBC news survey questioned 1,000 voters registered from March 7 to 11 via a mixture of telephone interviews and an online survey sent by SMS. The margin of error is more or less 3.1 percentage points.
