I call serious BS on that number. I’m in college, and I don’t know one black who voted for Romney. Pandering to blacks is a waste of time.

I found it rather surprising as well, but the same poll found that black women in that same age group went for Obama against Romney 98-1, so it seems well calibrated. I don't think conservatives should "pander to blacks". I do think that if there were an honest debate within the black community between conservatism and progressivism, conservatism would take a substantial percentage of the support. The trick is to find ways for that debate to occur.

Key word here: College. In the real world, not inhabited by professors and students, the Pew numbers probably are correct. College environments are always liberal.
