Probably 75%+ of the native white population, 90%+ of the native black population. Since we're talking post-WWII, we can rule out most first or second generation immigrants. If I had to guess, I'd say 60%+ have at least one Southern ancestor.

I've never lived in the South, nor have my parents or grandparents (well, one moved to Florida late in life, but I'm not sure if that counts), but I have plenty of British/German ancestors who settled in Virginia or arrived in Maryland (if that counts as the South), plus a few from North Carolina and even French Acadians who first settled in Louisiana.
