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 ±4% for the Cincinnati Metropolitan Area*, and less than ±5% for the City of Cincinnati and the African American community.



QUESTION: Overall, how satisfied are you with your life -- are you Very Satisfied, somewhat satisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied?
