Sotomayor, affirmative action and American voters

American voters say 55% - 36% that affirmative action should be abolished, and disagree 71% - 19% with Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's ruling in the New Haven firefighters' case, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll. More than 70% of voters say diversity is not a good enough reason to give minorities preferential treatment in competition for government or private sector jobs, the independent Quinnipiac University survey of more than 3,000 voters finds.
