Seen any polls showing Black trends to Republicans?

Actually, the poll cited in the article is a good place to start. In 2 years, self-identified black Republicans went from 4% to 10% of the black population.

The overall numbers may be small, but a 150% increase in two years is not insignificant.

Two parts of the article that Ms. Brazille didn't seem to be able to connect:

1. Blacks are hearing the Republican message.

2. Blacks are trending away from the dimocratic party.

For too long we have written the black vote off as unwinnable. It's about time that the RNC woke up to the fact that many of our fellow-citizens (who happen to be black) share our values, and with a little effort on our part can embrace our party.

Republicans are aware of the importance of garnering the black vote and are playing for it, she said, noting efforts in key elections last year in Maryland, Florida and elsewhere.

Summer, pinging you to this thread to question you regarding Republican efforts in Florida... Here in Maryland, our new Lt Governor, Mr. Steele, is an black Republican, and, from all I've heard, quite the rising star. I wish I had some numbers on how he and Governor Erlich did in the black community, but they made genuine efforts in campaigning, and I suspect that was a key factor in slaying the Kennedy-Townsend machine.

No need to explain. FWIW, many don't want to see this trend occur. I'm not speaking about those on the Left. I'm talking about those "friends" on the Right.
