I have seen estimates that Ford polls 5 points higher than is actually accurate because people don't wish to be seen as racist when asked who they plan to vote for.

That corresponds to the last governor's race in Louisiana. Polls consistently showed Bobby Jindal was leading Blank-oh by about three points. However, come election day, he lost by about two points.

The polling logic was that Jindal's polls were inflated by political correctness, while his vote totals were depressed by racism.
