Why does such a state even exist?

There is a big age gap on these questions. For example, on interracial marriage, voters under 45 support it 70-23, while voters over 65 oppose it 43-35. Given that gap, I'm guessing the numbers would be better for voters under 30, if the poll had aggregated them.
In other words, the civil rights movement really did make a difference to how people think, even for conservative whites in Mississippi. It's just that that work isn't quite finished yet.

That's better...but it's still frightening,to say the least,that 23% of voters under 45 think that interracial marriage should be illegal.
