"20% is what the polls they were refering to were saying, and it seems to indicate he'll get much more then that.
"I think it was Survey USA had him getting closer to 33%."
That would be very good news and certainly would be moving into a more respectable range.
My posts weren't meant to be negative, just to put things in perspective. I realize things don't change overnight; the fact is, however, they haven't changed much in several decades.

I have long held the view that Republicans should be assiduously cultivating and nominating black conservatives in the purple and blue states especially. Because it's not the percentage of the vote you get, it's the net difference which counts.A Republican who gets only 10% of the AA vote is in the hole by a net 80% (90%-10%) of the AA vote. A Republican who gets 20%, OTOH, is only in the hole by a net 60% of the AA vote. Assuming constant turnout, that is a substantial boost. If indeed Steele gets 35%, he will only be in the hole by 30% of the AA vote. That should be enough to put the Democrats in a fair fight!
