Everyone's in here talking about the sample size being too small or the questions being confusing. I don't give them that much credit. I legitimately think some researcher just accidentally flipped the age range somewhere between raw poll outputs and aggregated data. Maybe they accidentally transcribed some numbers into an Excel sheet backwards.
The whole data's fucked up actually. White people are the most progressive about interracial marriage of all races? 65+ is the most progressive age bracket? Conservatives are the most progressive political affiliation? Simply zero shot. They accidentally read it off backwards.
If you look at the other data in the PDF OP linked this seems more likely. Every question is like this, from gay marriage to contraceptives. Either a total data fuckup or they somehow found the most non-representative sample ever.
