Something is happening among black voters, and if the Democrats aren’t scared, they ought to be.
There are now at least three separate polls from three different states showing Barack Obama with African American support in the 70s. More than that, an analysis of the black vote in last spring’s Arkansas Democrat presidential primary raises doubts about the actual level of support he has among African Americans. Obama won the Arkansas primary by 58/42, but when the votes of the 29 “significantly” black counties were tabulated, his lead shrunk by 8 points. In ten counties with black populations between 19% and 41%, Obama actually lost 38/62! Not all of this can be dismissed with “Well, it’s just a primary.”
Betrayal leading to trouble for Obama
In May, when Barack Obama double crossed African Americans with his most recent “evolution” on support for gay “marriage”, many in their community, especially the black clergy, were stunned and outraged. The feeling of betrayal was so palpable that two separate polls, one in North Carolina by a Democrat operation and a second in Georgia by Gallup, found that 20% of black voters intend to vote for Mitt Romney.
Now three months later, a new poll of black voters from Michigan – a completely different part of the country- shows not only has the anger and frustration over Obama’s “evolution” not subsided, but it has actually strengthened slightly. The poll shows Obama getting the support of just 76% of Black Michiganders with 23% expressing their intent to vote for Mitt Romney. The Democrat- cheerleading media can ignore these polls, but a portion of the black clergy are working to reduce Obama’s support in the African American community even further.
The Rev. William Owens, who heads the Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP), is the driving force behind a sustained campaign to hold Obama accountable for his insult to the Christian beliefs of millions of black voters. For the first time in anyone’s memory, black pastors are instructing their people not to vote for a Democrat – even a black Democrat – because they cannot accept his betrayal on the sanctity of one man to one woman marriage.
Those who wish to ignore these polls and fool themselves into thinking they are not legitimate do so at their own peril. They have to ask themselves if they believe the silly poll from CBS saying Obama leads Romney among black voters 94/0 and therefore also believe gay marriage has not had the slightest effect on the willingness of blacks to vote for Obama; or they can believe that something very threatening is happening and they had better watch out.
They also have to ask themselves if Obama can afford even a small defection of these voters.

Good!
Poll after poll after poll after poll. Polls are useless. A poll will say whatever the poll taker wants it to say. Only three conditions are necessary.
1. Word the questions(s) in a way to obtain the desired response.
2. Know who to ask. Poll takers know demographics better than the US Census Bureau.
3. Word the results in a favorable manner.
The following real-life poll was conducted in the early 1990s.
Senior citizens ONLY were asked the following question: “Do you believe Congress should balance the federal budget by suspending cost-of-living raises for social security recipients for the next ten years?” Who wouldn’y say no to that dumb question? However, the poll results were announced as “A majority of citizens oppose balancing the budget.” No mention of who was asked or how the budget was to be balanced.
Another reason the vast majority of polls are useless is the polling sample. Most poll 300 to 600 people. Does anyone actually believe a poll of just a few hundred people accurately reflects the opinion of a population of over 340 million? Give me a break!
The only polls even close to being accurate at this time are Zogby and Rasmussen. They both interview THOUSANDS of people for a poll, not just a few hundred. The demographics of those polled is a part of the results. The exact question(s) is reported with the results of the poll. Some answers from the poll are reported word-for-word.
Bottom line is this. Unless a poll is from Zogby or Rasmussen – IGNORE IT!
America or obama this November! You can’t have both!
Agreed, most polls are useless. At best they can indicate a trend and from what I saw 3 decades ago when I willingly participated in polls concerning a variety of issues, the results were skewed by the phrasing of the question.
Yet having said that, it perhaps should be a matter of concern for Obama AND his opponents that once rock solid support has begun to crumble as indicated by changing numbers.
So what if a poll indicates only a 4% loss of support? That 4% is subtracted from one side and perhaps added to the other. Four percent here, 2% there, 3% over there and a sure win suddenly becomes a devastating loss.
The GOP better get off its archaic backside IF they want to beat Obama. The same old-same old doesn’t work any more. Given what I’ve seen of the GOP in recent weeks one wonders whether they even WANT to beat Obama. Maybe we need a Zogby Poll canvassing card carrying Republicans whether they intend to vote Republican this election. That may be an even scarier poll result.
No informed voter, white, black, or hispanic would ever vote for him if they were listening to the lib media, but then I guess they wwouldn’t be informed.
I too am not crazy about the polls, but no matter what the libs hear they don’t care, they for some unknown reason are not able to grasp the results that obama has inflicted on our country. They don’t understand or don’t want to understand any thing of value or lack of value, sort of pelosi and reid they are almost like they brainwashed or completely dysfunctional in their thinking.
I’m enjoying watching the dearleader destroy his big tent,this is more entertainment that any soap opera ,I only wish my country ,family ,friends and neighbors did’nt have to live thur the aftermath of his many ,many failings ,trail of broken promises,outright lies,and attacks on our Republic,Consitution,Rule of Law,Bill of Rights,History,Moral Fiber,Military,Treasury,Freedom ,Civil Rights ,Borders,and Common Sence ,National Unity ,feel free to add some Truth,Life ,Free Economy,Health CareSystem,Dignity ,Our unalienable Rights!A Sound Dollar !Boy I hope Romney and Ryan are able to restore our faith in our government and clean up this mess ,it’d help if we all do some praying for our country ,each other,our congress and our Leadership!
Isnt it amazing how with all the bad news for o, he just acts as though it doesnt matter. It probably doesnt.
I wonder why that would be. I think something is up his sleeve for the foreseeable future. And it aint good.
Perhaps burning conservative votes? This nasty man in our WH will stoop lower than low with NO conscience. Lying is part of his core make-up. He thinks we are too stupid to sort them from the truth. UGH!
So, are the blacks who now oppose obama (along with the black pastors) now racist too?
Just wondering.
The pres. should be concerned about this loss of support. I wonder if he is so narcissistic that he doesn’t see how he could possible lose. The other possibility would be that he has other plans in place to insure the Election. There are several theories that I won’t go into here but are well known. Does he have the nerve to pull them off ? I say, there is nothing he won’t try, to stay in office.
Whatever he tries (and especially if it is military related) the Congress if the Brass Cajoles to stand up to Obama, cut off ALL FUNDING. Remember, no matter what Obama wants, the House of Reps controls the purse strings. If Obama commits us to military action in Iran without the consent of Congress since only the U.S.Congress can declare war – not the President – he needs to be arrested on the spot, tried for treason and sentenced to several life terms without parole.
When your master owns all of the Secretary of States, you get to count the votes. Stalin, It does not matter who gets the most votes, it matters who counts them.
