A new NBC/WSJ poll out Tuesday shows President Barack Obama with a four-point lead over presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney. But as is often the case with polls, some of the more interesting numbers were in the details. For example? Romney snagged zero percent of African-American voters.

Among key demographics, the poll noted that Obama had a lead over Romney. The most stark being when it came to African Americans: 94 percent to 0 percent. Via NBC:

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).

His lead among those groups isn’t surprising, but hard for the number zero not to catch a person’s attention.

?????? You know....I'm part Potawatomi Indian...and I have French blood in me...too.

But I'm an American. And I've some problems with your wording. And I'm not sure you aren't crossing some line too.

Care to clarify?

This poll of “registered voters” (not likely voters) is horsesh!t.

Scroll down to the bottom and see that Strong Democrat/Not Very Strong Democrat/Independent-Lean Democrat is 45%, while the corresponding Republican categories add up to 39%.

Additionally the “Strictly Independent” category is 13%, and we simply know that more Lefties than conservatives claim Independent status because they are ashamed of being Democrat freeloaders.

Even lower down the categories of Very Liberal/Somewhat Liberal/Moderate are shown to add up to 58% of those polled, while Very Conservative/Somewhat Conservative tally only 40%.

FIFTY-EIGHT TO FORTY PERCENT AND THE BEST THEY CAN MANAGE FOR OBAMA IS FOUR FREAKING PERCENT??

We can only hope these percentages hold, up and down the ballot.

Suprise... Suprise.... who would have figured?

[lafroste]

i have some black friends and ALL of them despise Obamster and will crawl through broken glass to vote R/R. I think the poll is dead wrong. Besides, NOBODY gets 100% of the vote, not even the communist running for election uncontested in the old USSR.

[X-spurt]

95% went for noabama in 08.
There is a mighty big difference between answering a phone poll for da brutha and going to the election poll in 12.

Is anyone seeing any “08” enthusiasm by holder’s people? Not one forward bumper sticker seen, not one “in yo face, cracka”. Even dense can see the jig is up for nobama.

We owes em..... REPARATIONS.

I understand where you’re coming from, but middle class Blacks aren’t looking for free handouts.

Of course that ignores university affirmative action too. Perhaps that’s the best come-back to my comments... LOL

[DoughtyOne]

Glad to hear it. If I were Black, this guy would look like someone who tried to capitalize on his 50% Blackness, and essentially screwed Black America as bad or worse than any prior president.

And no, not even the Communists in the USSR could garner a 100% win.

Plain language/plain reading.

You need to get out more, and see what the reality is.

If I were black, supported Romney and/or disliked Obama, depending on where I'm living or working, I may be very hesistant to admit this, either in person or over the phone, to someone taking a poll in my community. Hiding and/or lying about this would have likely become a habit, for fear of what might happen should my neighbors learn my true feelings.

Same is true being any other race, if one lives or works around many Democrats. Democrats can be much more honest with pollsters, as they don't need to fear retribution from conservative co-workers or neighbors. So in addition to over-sampling Democrats, the pollsters always fail to take this phenomenon into account, which I think adds another 2 or 3 points to the Republican candidate.

[zencycler]

Oh yeah, and forgot to mention that many lie about being registered to vote, since they’re ashamed that they haven’t registered. More Dems that Reps in that group, I’m sure, which means the some of the “likely” voters are not so likely, and most of those are Dems.

[beenaround]

They only included in their sample 13% Ind which is almost 25% below many demographic samples taken by pollsters.

This crap poll is claiming a representative sample of Americans likely to vote is comprised of 45% Dems and just 39% Rep when almost every other poll of any legitimacy indicates the enthusiasm by a double digit margin is with the Republicans. A more fair mix of voters would be about 34% for Dems and Rep and about 32% Ind.

uh ok
