Harris Poll: Number of Americans Who Support Book Banning Increases

From The Guardian: “Are Americans Falling in Love with Censorship?

“[A] Harris poll of 2,244 US adults was released in July, revealing that, in the space of four years, the percentage of Americans believing that some books should be completely banned has increased by more than half. In 2011, 18% of those surveyed wanted some books banned; in 2015, 28% agreed with the assertion. Just under a half, 48%, said that no books should be banned, compared with 56% in 2011.”
