Most Texans agree with arguments against vouchers but still would support legislation that makes such programs available to all families, the UH/TSU survey showed.

Black Democrats best white Republicans in their support for vouchers (57% to 56%), while also being less likely to oppose vouchers than white Republicans (22% vs. 26%).

In the survey, support was stronger for vouchers among African American and Latino Texans. “Among Latino democrats, it’s more 3/5 support, 2/5 opposed," Jones added.
