Eleven years into the 21st century, a new poll indicates there are a lot of Mississippi Republicans still living in the past.
A survey conducted last month shows 46% of GOP voters in the state believe interracial marriage should be illegal - a plurality of the people questioned.
Forty percent felt mixed-race weddings should remain legal, while 14% said they were not sure in the survey conducted by Public Policy Polling of Raleigh, N.C.
The poll, conducted between March 24 and 27, showed 76% of the respondents considered themselves somewhat or very conservative.
