A new AP-GfK poll finds that 77 percent of respondents believe America has made "significant progress toward Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of equality," roughly equivalent to the percentage of those who responded in 2006, more than two years before President Barack Obama became president.
Twenty-two percent of those surveyed said that there has been "no significant progress" in reaching racial equality.
At the same time, however, 69 percent of Americans said they did not plan to do anything to commemorate Dr. King's national holiday, while 30 percent said they would. Yet 74 percent of those asked said the day should remain a holiday.
