Study: Fewer Americans willing to have someone with opposing political views marry into their family — Ponte Vedra Beach Community news

How willing are you to form a close relationship with people who have an opposing political view? Well, it was actually the topic of a new study from Florida State University. And apparently, fewer Americans are willing to have someone with opposing political views marry into their family.The survey found 45% of respondents said they were willing to have someone with opposing political views marry into their family. Another 36% said they were willing to allow the marriage but would prefer it not happen, while 19% said they were unwilling.
