Survey USA (Ohio) has McCain 49% Obama 48%, but McCain gets 15% of black vote?

[WI_DEM]

I honestly don't think so. Obama wins the black vote 84-15, but I think on election day he will carry more than 90% of the black vote and turnout in the African-American community will be extremely strong.

I've read many SUSA polls and find that in some states they give McCain an extremely high portion of the black vote, such as 21% of the black vote for McCain in Florida, in a poll out yesterday which also gives McCain only a 1-point lead overall 48/47:

On edit:
I apologize to those who noticed I forgot to put Ohio in the title and were nice enough to remind me in a civilized way, but to those who went out of there way to be rude about it (even though I included links) I think you need to learn how to be more courteous to your fellow DUers, as if you never have made a mistake.

1. 15% of the black vote in Alaska

It's in the fine print. :)

[mcctatas]

2. Well when the only Black people they poll are Alan Keyes and

Ron Christie....

[Fresh_Start]

3. whats the evangelical portion of black voters?

a strict anti-abortion viewpoint could pull those votes to the GOP

[CalGator]

7. but these polls have Obama getting about the same % as Gore or Kerry

it's absurd that with the first AA candidate that they'll vote the same proportion as before.

[Fresh_Start]

12. unless the evangelicals are consistently against abortion

which as far as I can tell has been the case for some time

[Alter Ego]

4. Not to nitpick, but you'd have been better served if you'd specified

that this was Ohio.

[skipos]

5. Gore, Kerry and Clinton got about 90% of the black vote

Obama ain't gonna do worse than that.

[mohc]

6. Look at the youth vote too

This poll has Obama barely winning the youngest age bracket and actually doing better with those over 50 than those under 50. While this could just be statistical noise, it does raise some questions.

[HughMoran]

8. OMG! Most deceptive post ever - that's OHIO and that's a GOOD NUMBER!!

Please edit your post to include the word "Ohio" in there somewhere - you scared the crap out of me!!

[woolldog]

9. ok ok

these kinds of threads are getting old, imo.

[Blasphemer]

10. No way McCain gets 15% of the AA vote..

This poll is out in right field.

[melody]

11. Can you add Ohio to the subject line? I about had a coronary n/t

[mvd]

13. Seems like a more legit poll than the FL one IMO

We still have more work to do there.

[RaleighNCDUer]

14. You understand, these aren't polls, per se -

they are projections of Republican electoral fraud.

[Kittycat]

15. Ohio & FL poll, not National. Change your subject line.

[FVZA_Colonel]

18. I kind of panicked for a moment.

[FrenchieCat]

16. You really should edit your headline. Makes it seem like National poll....

And is depressing.

I wasn't even going to open the link...because it made me feel disheartened.

[quantass]

17. Hey L8mer, CHANGE THE FUCKING TITLE To include "Ohio"

[WI_DEM]

19. Don't be an asshole, I forgot to put Ohio, but I included links. I just noticed it myself.

[RagAss]

20. If he gets 15% of AA vote in OHIO...I am Dick Cheney, Trolling here on DU !!!

[timber84]

21. Well the fucking Gallup poll shit posted by 2 sparkles has yet to

be corrected, don't forget to go and tell that poster to correct their shit as well

[HughMoran]

23. This one is fixed

Whew! 1 of 2 ain't bad. Now if the mods would just lock the other thread, we'll be doing fine.

[timber84]

25. LOL

Yeah one down one to go!

[WI_DEM]

27. Why don't posters stop posting on that other one, it might actually go away all on its own.

[timber84]

38. I think that they just see the headline and get excited and

post something before they read through the thread.

[msallied]

22. Ohio is voting right now.

It will soon be too late to change anybody's minds in Ohio. For what it's worth, I think Obama definitely will carry Ohio.

[mtnester]

28. Ohio started early voting today

after a fantastic court ruling yesterday I might ad (no need to wait 30 days after registering to vote to vote absentee or early...you can register AND vote all at the same time)

[msallied]

29. A few of my friends were texting me from the line! Yes! There was a long line!!

[mtnester]

37. I will be working for Election Protection on election day

so I am voting absentee again this year

[Historic NY]

24. sounds like an election theft scenario to justify the vote.

[timber84]

26. Thanks for editing it to include Ohio

:hi:

[WI_DEM]

30. Your welcome.

[timber84]

35. We are quick to pounce on each other during stressful times

we should also be quick with praise as well.

[uponit7771]

31. THAT'S THE SAME NUMBER BUSH GOT IN 04!! THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!

[TheKentuckian]

32. Older black voters, especially women

have more of a tendency to buy the Muslim crap than most. Its unlikely that McCain can get 15% but I can't rule it out in an older state, especially if the weighting of the polling is based off of old dynamics.

[uponit7771]

34. I don't know ANY black women who have a shred of anomosity against Muslims

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

36. Yeah, old black women. 15%. That sounds good.

[Orangepeel]

33. That's likely the result of white McCain voters lying to pollsters and saying they are black n/t
