Americans mostly think it is good that the nation has an ethnically and racially mixed population, but their views diverge when it comes to specifics about how that diversity affects their lives, a new survey found. Consider views on how population diversity affects the national culture. Over all, half of Republicans and three-quarters of Democrats said diversity had a positive impact on the country. Conversely, 21 percent of Republicans said diversity negatively affected the national culture, compared with 5 percent of Democrats. (For this survey, Pew defined Republicans as anyone who identifies as or leans Republican, and Democrats as those who identify as or lean Democratic.)
