What a difference between NJ & Survey USA African-American vote
In the most recent SurveyUSA poll, we are supposed to believe that 21% of African-Americans are voting for McBush..

http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport_main.aspx?g=83889f62-d3ce-4176-a1a1-164a31cbf1e2

In the National Journal poll, McBush gets no more than 4% of the African American vote - from THREE states!...

Is Sean Hannity and/or Rush Limbaugh conducting those surveys at old SurveyUSA????..

1. the sample of that demographic
was likely so small that a couple of random interviews just threw off the validity of that sample. That's why you should never cherry pick polls and go buy what a larger groups of polls are saying.

2. Also, the NJ poll has Obama taking 54% of Hispanics. The SUSA has McCain with a 20 point lead there

I clicked on the SurveyUSA link expecting the New Jersey poll, but got the Florida poll, however, before I realized that, I saw Obama was losing and then realized NJ stood for National Journal.

:dunce:
