A recent poll conducted by The Washington Post and Ipsos reveals that a majority of Americans support diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Nearly 70 percent of Americans approve of these initiatives, with support particularly high among Black Americans at 88 percent and 64 percent among white Americans. Specific programs such as internships for underrepresented groups and anti-bias trainings received even higher approval. Approximately 61 percent, or 6 in 10 Americans, think it is a good thing for companies to take up DEI programs. This data indicates that public opinion is largely in favor of DEI efforts despite ongoing political debates.
