2017!!!

At the time of the poll, 19 states had laws against marriage between whites and blacks, including all 16 states that are commonly considered part of the South. Accordingly, the poll found sharp regional differences on this question. Most Southern whites approved of the laws, while the slight majority of non-Southern whites disapproved.

The original Gallup news release also reported that nearly three in 10 Southern blacks, versus one in seven blacks living outside the South, favored laws making marriage between whites and blacks a crime
