Most individuals in college won't be able to obtain and maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher. African Americans attend college at lower rates and tend to come from lower socioeconomic status which is directly linked to lower performance in academia. Also, due to affirmative action in admissions, African American students may be admitted to schools that are more challenging than their undergraduate record would otherwise lead them to be admitted to and enroll in.  As a result, African Americans are more likely to have lower grade point averages due to circumstances beyond their control that make it more difficult to successfully achieve a GPA and maintain one of at least 3.5."},"immigration":{"id":"R_3dJQnp5aIYTcSeg","gender":"Female","age":"43","affiliation":"Republican","domain":"immigration","high_signal":"1","estimate_1":"20","estimate_2":"20","question":"What fraction of undocumented immigrants deported from the United States in 2015 were convicted of a crime unrelated to immigration?","message":"I understand that you may think that not many of the people deported are criminals, but I really think the true number is pretty high.  First note that the question is asking about the Obama years; Obama did not have the same anti-immigration position that Trump has.  During the Obama administration the big focus was not on getting immigrants out of the country, but minimizing them as a problem, which meant deporting those who were involved in crime, and especially those part of gangs.  So, fewer were probably arrested, but more of those arrested were almost certainly arrested for crimes other than just being in the country illegally.  I just moved from Arizona to South Carolina and Illegal immigrants were a major cause of crime where I came from.  I moved to Tucson when I was 2 years old and it was a beautiful city to live in. Times changed however, and when I came back from college it was a different place. Crime rates were sky high and a lot of the crime was caused by guns, drugs and weapons being brought over the border by illegal immigrants.  I know there are a lot of honest hardworking illegal immigrants in the country; please don't think I don't know this, but just from experience it is not out of the realm of possibility that a surprisingly high fraction of illegals are criminals."},"army":{"id":"R_2PpUfj2U6pJB4ny","gender":"Female","age":"33","affiliation":"Democrat","domain":"army","high_signal":"0","estimate_1":"30","estimate_2":"20","question":"What fraction of active duty military in the United States are serving in the Army?","message":"The US military has five branches and the army is only one of them. Sure, they have quite a few bases, but consider how many planes the Air Force has. They all need maintenance crew. Then you have the Navy with their massive aircraft carriers and all the support ships, helicopters, even planes. All of that is maintained by that branch \u2013 including at massive naval yards. A lot of operations on the ground are carried out by the Marines, and the Marines are not part of the army. Then think about how long the US coast is \u2013 it takes a lot of people in the Coast Guard to patrol it day and night. The military is a really large organization and the army is just one part of that."},"insurance":{"id":"R_pJG6sfs3yEzSTS1","gender":"Female","age":"23","affiliation":"Republican","domain":"insurance","high_signal":"0","estimate_1":"57","estimate_2":"57","question":"What fraction of adult women in the United States have a life insurance policy?","message":"Most people don\u2019t like thinking about either their finances or their death. So I doubt a lot of people have life insurance to begin with. On top of that, the purpose of life insurance is to replace an income that other family members depend on. But it\u2019s rare for women to be the only earners in the household. In fact, many of them stay at home to look after children or only work part-time. They may also have a second person\u2019s income to fall back on. So for them, it just makes less financial sense to buy life insurance. There\u2019s also surveys finding that women are less confident in financial investments, which is what life insurance ultimately is. So I suspect women are also less likely than men to have a life insurance policy. I just don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to be all that many."}}
