Something is happening among Blacks voters: little reported polls show surprising Romney support

Something is happening among Black voters and if the Democrats aren’t scared they ought to be.

“three separate polls from three different states showing Obama with African American support in the 70s. … [plus] in last spring’s Arkansas Democrat presidential primary raises doubts about the actual level of support he has among African Americans.

Obama won the Arkansas primary by 58/42 but when the votes of the 29 “significantly” Black counties were tabulated his lead shrunk by 8 points. In ten counties with Black populations between 19% and 41% Obama actually lost 38/62! Not all of this can be dismissed with “Well it’s just a primary.”

May when Obama double crossed African Americans with …… “evolution” on support Gay “marriage” many in their community, especially the Black clergy, were stunned and outraged.

The feeling of betrayal was so palpable that two separate polls, one in North Carolina by a Democrat operation, and a second in Georgia by Gallup found 20% of Black voters intend to vote for Mitt Romney.

Now three months later a new poll of Black voters from Michigan – a completely different part of the country- shows not only has the anger and frustration over Obama’s “evolution” not subsided, it has actually strengthened slightly.

The poll shows Obama getting the support of just 76% of Black Michiganders with 23% expressing their intent to vote for Mitt Romney.

The Democrat cheerleading media can ignore these polls but a portion of the Black clergy are working to reduce Obama’s support in the African American community even further.

The Rev. William Owens who heads the Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP) is the driving force behind a sustained campaign to hold Obama accountable for his insult to the Christian beliefs of millions of Black voters…

The very silly See- B.S. poll showing Obama winning Black voters 94/0 aside, those who want to ignore these signs must keep in mind that the last time African American ministers told their people not to vote Democrat was in 1908. Thereafter using lies and tricks Wilson brought Blacks to the Democrats. The Black ministers did not actively work against Democrats ever again.

Obama will not get 95% black support in the election.

15% (Official, well over 20% unofficial) Black Unemployment will ensure that.

In 2008 many blacks who didn’t remotely support this guy idea wise voted for him, because of the historic nature of it. Now they recognize that mistake. Obama will still get an overwhelming portion like democrats always do, but it won’t be 95%.

There is a landslide coming up and down the ballot folks, Democrats are going to face a tidal wave, and by the time the dust settles, 2010 and 1994 will look like they were good days to be a democrat.

I hope and pray these polls are truly indicative of a shift of black votes from Obama. But, I have very serious doubts.

I believe that the vast — VAST — majority of blacks will follow Lovie Smith’s injunction to his fellow blacks: “Remember, you got to vote for Obama because he’s an African American.”

Of course, had John Harbaugh or Rex Ryan said that whites should vote for Romney because he’s white, they would have been fired within minutes for racism. As Smith should have been.

Obama will carry 96% of the black vote. All we can hope for is a lack of enthusiasm on their part resulting in a low turnout.

Coach, that wasn’t a CBS poll: it was done by BET of seven or eight swing states. I’ll believe ANY change in black support when I see it, but your numbers are interesting.

I am not so sure. I know some conservative black people that I am sure voted for Obama because he was "historic". I do not think they will vote for him this time.

There is more at work here then just that one issue IMO. Barky has taken the black vote for granted from day one. Truly he did not engender himself with the community with his support of fag marriage. Beyond that, black’s are getting killed financially and in his zeal to shore up as much hispanic vote as he can, he has pitted that support against a base he believed was 95% solid. Furthermore, those in the community who are not of the perpetual welfare mentallity are feeling the results of his failed economic policies the most and the bad news for his excellency is they also vote in larger percentage than the takers. It is not ridicules to project that he will get “only” 80% of the black vote because of both the reasons cited above: economics and his fag agenda. IMO, that is why the recent push from the media giving little exposure to the black attendees and speakers at the converntion. Even “the daily” news was pushing this slanted position yesterday.

So with a voter turnout of 12%, and losing say 15% of that number, HIS excellency may see an overall decline of 2% in actual votes among blacks. Hopefully it is enough to swing the election.

I don’t think for a second Romney will get much of the black vote, but I do think that a significant % of the 2008 black vote just won’t show this time.

Yeah, I am very doubtful that more than 2% of Blacks will change their votes from Obama to Romney. Despite all that Obama has done to destroy our economy, promote abortion and homosexual marriage, destroy our prominence in the world, etc, nothing matters to most Black Americans other than Obama’s skin color and party membership. On an anecdotal level, I know a grand total of one Black American who sees the light on Obama. But I am sorry to predict that although some Black Americans are upset with Obama’s gay marriage support, nearly all will still vote for him. Race trumps everything.

NBC News/Wall Street Journal also shows Romney with 0% black support. That’s zero, absolutely no measurable support. The only thing that might happen is less blacks turn out to vote for Hussein. The more that stay home the better. The black vote is entirely hopeless. They vote based on how many freebies they can get from government and the GOP can never win that debate.

I don’t understand why there hasn’t been targetted efforts to use the gay marriage betrayal and the horrible economic record of Obama especially in relationship to the black community against him. The ad should be labeled “Betrayal” because that is exactly the best word to describe what Obama has done to his most loyal constituents. They voted for him and have not only been forgotten but have found their interests set aside for those of illegal immigrants and homosexuals. If someone can’t make a hard hitting ad with those components there is no hope for the GOP. They should get several black Republicans young black man, young black woman, older black man, older black woman speak directly to the camera about his betrayal. I know the GOP aren’t capable of this but they should be taking advantage of this wedge. What irony it would be to use the first Black President to begin the deconstruction of the Democrat black base. There hasn’t been a more perfect opportunity.

Those poll numbers were ridiculous - even McCain managed to take 4% of black voters in ‘08.

Nope, I'm pretty sure Romney really will get near 0% of the black vote. Less blacks may vote, but the ones that turn out will be nearly 100% for Obama. At this point it's a loyalty thing, protecting one of "their own". Just take a look at cities like Detroit. No matter how bad it gets, they will still never vote Republican. In fact, the worse it gets the more it seems they harden in their resolve, refuse to admit they were wrong, and vote in even higher percentages for black Democrats.

Lovie Smith will be fired the day the Bears organization thinks he won’t deliver a Super Bowl, and not before.

BEAR DOWN!

If there is anyone who knows that not all black people are angels or even who they pretend to be, it’s other black people! His skin can’t fool them for all that long. He is NOT one of them. And not all black people are brainwashed.

///
they are lying, to help Obama.
that poll, puts pressure on blacks to “conform”,
as they are being told, others do.
...that poll, is simply to keep them from leaving the democrat “plantation”.

MANY blacks are not on welfare, hard-working, and CHRISTIAN.
many of them, are against abortion, and gay marriage.
the DNC knows they are losing them.

the NBC poll, is fake.

It’s not simply optimism, its mathematics.

Blue Dog Democrats are lost to Obama, as are Catholics.. Obviously there is overlap in those 2 groups, but you don’t lose catholics 3-1, or afford to lose large numbers of Blue Dogs and expect to carry the rust belt.

Lets not even get into the fact he’s down 10-15 points among independents.

This election isn’t going to be close folks.. Fight tooth and nail like it is, but the math doesn’t add up.

More than one poll has shown nearly 20% of DEMOCRATS are going to vote for Romney! You can’t win elections when you are losing 1/5 of your base. You don’t win elections by campaigning on class warfare! At least not a national election... That’s what leftists to gin up their base, they don’t win the general by doing it... yet that’s still what Obama is doing and its NEARLY SEPTEMBER!

All Romney has to do tonight, is prove to the overwhelming majority of American’s that he’s not some extremist nutball, which while Romney is many things, that he is not. Obama and his ilk are trying their best to paint him as one, but it won’t work. Just come out and show he’s a not some boogie man, and he will do that fine, and once he does that, and as the bulk of the non political junkie population gets to see and know him, his polling numbers will swell.

I truly think Obama has a popular vote MAX of 42-43%, and very likely could wind up sub 40 on election day, a feat no sitting president has managed during re-election since Hoover in 1932.

I fully expect independents to break somewhere around 2-1 for Romney on election day. Obama doesn’t have any prayer for re-election. This “its a squeaker” is what you get when people who have lived in Washington far too long, and have no idea whats going on on the ground, try to analyze the situation.

Rust Belt is DEAD to Obama, no way in hell he’s going to get, IA, IN, WI or OH... PA and MI are battleground and if Romney brings the fight to those states I fully expect Obama to lose them as well. MN and IL are the only remotely safe states for Obama in the rust belt. The south is ABSOLUTELY lost for Obama, he has no chance at FL or NC.. VA is the only possibility and that’s only if the DC contingent in N VA can overwhelm the rest of the state, and given the motivation and excitement of the anti-Obama crowds I don’t think it will happen.

EC may not reflect how badly Obama will lose the popular vote, but it is going to be a routing, and its going to go up and down the ballot, not just the White House Race.

Remember, most democratic senators up for election this term haven’t faced the electorate since voting for Obamacare... you think they won’t pay a price for that?
