Race Relations poll
Survey Findings on Racial Attitudes In Cincinnati: City vs. Suburbs
By The Cincinnati Enquirer
Here are questions and results from The Enquirer's poll on racial attitudes in Greater Cincinnati. The survey, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Aug. 17-23, interviewed 1,112 randomly selected Greater Cincinnati residents. The poll accurately reflects the region's population by using oversampling techniques and a cross-section of phone exchanges. The margin for error is less than ±8 percentage points for suburban black responses; ±6 percentage points for city black responses; ±5 percentage points for suburban white responses, and ±7 percentage points for city white responses
