More proof that Republicans were not more pro-civil rights than the Democrats pre-1964

[Alcibiades]

Pursuant to this thread (https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=394214.msg7577879#msg7577879), I was browsing some old California opinion polls, and this one from July 1948 on civil rights jumped out at me: https://web.archive.org/web/20100705152438if_/http://ucdata.berkeley.edu/pubs/CalPolls/81.pdf

Democrats:
Leave South alone: 38%
Pass federal laws: 52%

Republicans:
Leave South alone: 49%
Pass federal laws: 43%

For reference, Democrats made up 60% of California registered voters.

So while both parties were divided, California Democrats were clearly more pro-civil rights on the whole than Republicans in 1948. I imagine this situation would have been reflected in most other states outside of the South; a higher percentage of non-Southern Democrats actually voted for the 1964 CRA than non-Southern Republicans.
