That study is close to a decade old and the talk of the Redskins name being offensive has really gained steam in the past few years. While I expect the numbers are still fairly low as that study shows, I do believe it is likely that the "yes" percentage has grown by at least a couple percent.

I can't help but wonder when seeing surveys like this if the people outspoken about the change are actually Native Americans or if it is white folk deciding it is offensive and trying to speak for other races like we have always done.
