California voters are against cash reparations for slavery by a 2-to-1 margin, according to a new poll.
Nearly 60% of California voters said they oppose cash reparations payments, compared with 28% who said they would support it, according to a University of California Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll.
More than 4 in 10 voters said they were “strongly” opposed to cash reparations, the poll found.
“It has a steep uphill climb, at least from the public’s point of view,” said Mark DiCamillo, the poll’s director.
