David ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.23.12)
6. These polls oversample Democrats and are inaccurate.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.23.12)
These are the same polling organizations which predicted Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker would be soundly defeated. Instead, Walker won with ease. Democrats are oversampled and these polls are inaccurate. The much more credible Rasmussen polls tell a quite different story. Obama is a disaster.
7. David @5, how so?
leo ,   usa   (08.23.12)
8. Peter @2, not 'for good', but one more term at best.
leo ,   usa   (08.23.12)
However, from the looks of it, highly doubtful.
9. Obama
Roxy ,   Israel   (08.23.12)
Of course the African American will stick with Obama he is their candidate , they are overwhelmingly democrats.If Oprah says to vote for him they will. Very few if any are members of the Republican party, so what is the big deal of this article?

11. Reverse racism
I. Barr ,   Michigan, USA   (08.23.12)
Non African Americans were accused of being racists for not voting for Obama. Nobody accuses African Americans of racism for voting FOR Obama. The media which strongly supports Obama radical left attitude, his anti Israel agenda did not address this issue. There are, however, many African Americans who ask: What did Obama do for African Americans? The unemployment among them is more than double the general population of USA. Many African American joined the Republicans understanding that the future of America is with Romney. With peer pressure they do not advertize their views though some appeared on Fox news which is the only media in US today which is fair and balanced. See the movie 2016.
12. racism and demographics
shloime ,   toronto, canada   (08.23.12)
it isn't so surprising that "african americans" would support the first and only african american president. but it's hard to believe that almost 100% agree with his policies, rather than with the colour of his skin. in the twisted logic of liberalism, non-whites enjoy a form of "diplomatic immunity" from charges of racism. and it's important to understand that african americans make up only 12% of america (jews 2%). in and of itself, that's not enough to re-elect obama.
13. Ethnocentricity?!....
Buskila ,   South America   (08.23.12)
If that is true (I suspect it is not all totally accurate, as we know of many black people who make Republican party their spiritual and political home), then it is a form of R A C I S M., which would be coming back to haunt any other ethnic group from hoping to participate in contributing to the American puzzel. See for instance the two first Jewish Senators in the USA, both cousins one is of Moroccan Jewish lineage David Yuly Levy, and the othe is of Dutch-Moroccan origins Judah P. Benjamin, who both contributed greatly to the American way of life. It should be a shame for Barack Obama if it were true....which I don't believe...its like saying the Latinos voters are against Rep. or the same for the Jews..It makes no sense.
14. Over 90% supported Obama in 2008 - Racism maybe?!
michael redbourn ,   arad israel   (08.23.12)
Thankfully it looks like Obama will now lose. He's losing support every day and is now only 1.5% ahead in the RCP polls. More and more people are realizing that Ryan is simply telling it like it is and is offering Americans a simple choice. Obama has the support of those that get "Obama money" without even having to look for a job but the middle class is more and more fed up with supporting them. Close to 50% of Americans pay no federal taxes which is crazy and it remains to be seen how many of them will vote for Romney or not vote for Obama. The Republicans have the momentum now and Romney was clever with spending and will outspend Obama in the coming weeks. And Republicans are more likely to turn up at the voting booths.
15. Does Black Racism Exist ?.Or only White Racism ?
Roland Seener ,   London England   (08.23.12)
16. Just imagine if 0% of white people supported Obama
Jake ,   USA   (08.23.12)
The accusations of white racism would be deafening.
17. These polls are so easily manipulated
Ze'ev ,   USA   (08.23.12)
If I canvas 1000 white people from the Hampton's, and 1000 Black people from Harlem I can get a 100% White for Romney and !00% Black for Obama. Canvas 1000 Black Wall Street lawyers and 1000 White poor and you will get the opposite.
18. Results
US   (08.23.12)
The results: 23 million unemployed 43 straight months of 8+% unemployment 45 million on food stamps Black poverty at record highs The middle class has lost 40% of its net worth under Obama Black youth unemployment over 50% Hispanic unemployment at 11.3% Food prices up 15% under Obama Gas prices doubled under Obama Obama has the worst job creation record since 1945 (BLS) Obama recovery the worst in 75 years Average family health insurance up $1,500 under Obama
19. #6 - American blacks tend to be Democrats
