This invention provides a graft copolymer of at least one acrylic monomer and polystyrene, in which at least about 8 percent of the total weight of said graft copolymer is derived from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, or both. It also provides anionic aqueous dispersions of such graft copolymers and coating compositions containing them.
