... An exclusive News-5 Strategy Poll shows 54-percent of Alabamians say let the flag fly at the capitol. 46-percent support the Governor taking it down ... “When the Battle Flag went up in 1963, I was a junior at Central High School in the midst of segregation,” remembered local Civil Rights leader Robert Battles. He is pleased with the Governor’s decision, as are most African-Americans. The news-5/Strategy Poll shows a sharp racial divide on the issue. Only 17-percent of blacks say fly the flag, compared to 74-percent of white Alabamians ... 2,400 registered voters statewide participated in the telephone survey. It has a margin of error of three percent

2. Why would they want that flag to fly on a government building? Do they NOT consider the U.S. flag

the countries flag?

The good new is assuming the poll to be accurate, it only represents an 8 point lead, which is a lot better than it would have been prior to 1963.
