50% : Lisa Crooms-Robinson, who spoke to The Root in late June, says she believes the courts will side against affirmative action: "The higher ed cases on the docket for the next time," said Crooms-Robinson.
47% : But just because affirmative action narrowly survived an attack in 2016 doesn't mean it'll make it through this court.
44% : Based on the court's make-up and earlier willingness to upend decades of precedence by overturning Roe v. Wade, things are likely not looking good for the future of affirmative action.
