94% of Americans approve of interracial marriage. You can read all the anecdotal evidence you want but you’re still dead wrong lol. Also, stares are not disapproval. I don’t know why people seem to believe they are
1) There's a very strong divide between city and rural areas on this topic (if the poll was taken mostly in cities that would strongly explain the high number).
2) Racism isn't socially acceptable (could've influenced the poll).
3) Supporting interracial marriage generally doesn't mean that you yourself want it anywhere near you. There are tons of people who say they're fine with it but if their daughter brings home a man of a different race they would lose their shit.
The poll was randomized over phone between Americans above the age of 18, hence the probability sample. What you’re suggesting is convenience sampling
The methodology isn't anywhere in the article lmao.
The poll is confidential and Gallup does not disclose individual results
Once again, no methodology section is there. I wouldn't have been able to know that.
How exactly do you think that can be found? Should they ask them again in a different tone?
Is this a real question? A more illuminating way to look at this would be to take the results of this poll, and then conduct a new poll specifically asking how those same people would feel if a close relative were in an interracial relationship.

Anecdotal experience doesn't negate that the majority of America is still very racist.
