Poll shows 0% support for Romney among African Americans

A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released on Tuesday shows President Barack Obama holding a four point lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney. But among African Americans, the poll shows an even stronger lead for Obama, as First Read reports:

Looking inside the numbers, Obama continues to lead Romney among key parts of his political base, including African Americans (94 percent to 0 percent), Latinos (by a 2-to-1 margin), voters under 35-years-old (52 percent to 41 percent) and women (51 percent to 41 percent).

That's right: according to this poll, Romney has zero percent support among African Americans.

"The numbers came from a statistically significant sample of more than 100 African-American voters out of 1,000 total voters in the poll," NBC News senior political editor Mark Murray told Lean Forward. "Given the sample size of these African-American respondents, the margin of error is well within the 95 percent-5 percent split with which Obama won this group in 2008."

In other words, none of the roughly 110 black respondents to this poll said they would support Romney. The poll should not be taken to mean that Romney has no African American supporters at all. However, at the very most, he has far fewer than Obama.

I think the support is diving among women as well...

"Why, of COURSE we want a political party of Neanderthals telling us what we can--and can't--do with our bodies."

Bring it on...

And where ARE those tax-returns?

In the same folder as the college transcripts, probably.

The difference is no presidential candidate (except Joe Biden) has ever provided their college transcripts.

Mitt is the only one I know of who hasn't provided more than a couple of years of tax returns.

But you already knew that.

Oh wait, Gingrich only provided ONE YEAR of his.

So you expect more blacks voted for McCain/Palin than will vote for Romney/Ryan? I find that a little hard to believe.

No surprises there at all. The Democrats have traditionally received the majority of the votes from those voting blocks once they began to enact laws which had the government supporting the people instead of the other way around.

Yes....I'm sure you do...

Damn better call my brothers in FL and tell em they ain't getting any support from whomever took that poll

Funny, but I personally know and have spoken with several black people who do not support the policies of President Obama and do not intend to vote for him in November.

So either I know the only 5 black people in America who don't support the President or this poll is hokey. Hmmm...I wonder which one it is?

0% is horse puckey, but I have to admit the press is doing everything it possibly can to get their man re-elected. My hat is off to those journalists who are all about telling the news not making the news. rofllol

That lets FauxNews off the hook.
