** WELCOME TO THE NUMBER OF THE DAY

When it comes to the staff for a news service, 47% of voters believe diversity of thought and opinion is more important than diversity along racial, ethnic, gender, and other demographic lines. A _PoliticalIQ_ survey found that 30% disagree and believe demographic diversity is more important. Twenty-three percent (23%) are not sure which matters the most.[1] ([link removed])

Democrats are evenly divided on this question. However, Republicans and Independents tend to see diversity of thought as more important.[1] ([link removed])

Fifty-one percent (51%) of Hispanic voters and 48% of White voters view diversity of thought as more important. Black voters, by a 48% to 35% margin, take the opposite view.[1] ([link removed])

The survey, conducted by Scott Rasmussen ([link removed]) , also found that 47% believe it is possible to have diversity of thought and opinion without demographic diversity. Twenty-nine percent (29%) disagree and believe demographic diversity is needed to have diversity of thought.[1] ([link removed])

Finally, by a 52% to 25% margin, voters tend to believe that demographic diversity does not guarantee diversity of thought and opinion. They believe it is possible for a demographically diverse news organization to still present a single ideological perspective with no diversity of thought and opinion.[1] ([link removed])
