ALL YEARS: Some people think that certain groups have too much influence in American life and politics, while other people feel that certain groups don’t have as much influence as they deserve. 1972-1976: Here are three statements about how much influence a group might have. For each group I read to you, just tell me the number of the statement that best says how you feel: blacks 2000: I am going to read you a list of groups, for each one please tell me whether that group has too much influence, just about the right amount of influence or too little influence. What about blacks? (Would you say they have too much influence, just about the right amount of influence, or too little influence?)
