Poll: Mitt Romney's Support Among Black People Is 0%

further, the poll results are NOT in the body of the article. that was my point. you quoted only the left wing news source, NOT the actual data from the actual poll. i had to go look up the actual poll and when i read it, could find nothing to support their assertion.

now...are you going to back up your claim with actual data or are you just going to rely on a news article? seems i recall you mocking others for doing the same.

I am confused.. do you mean this link?

By Mark Murray, NBC News Senior Political Editor

After Mitt Romney selected his vice presidential running mate, and just days before the political conventions kick off next week, President Barack Obama maintains his advantage in the race for the White House, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

A Democratic ticket featuring Obama and Vice President Joe Biden gets support from 48 percent of registered voters, and a Republican ticket of Romney and new running mate Paul Ryan gets 44 percent.

These numbers are only slightly changed from July, when Obama led Romney by six points in the survey, 49 percent to 43 percent, suggesting a minimal bounce for Romney (if at all) after this month’s Ryan pick.

While the state of the U.S. economy and the nation’s direction continue to pose significant obstacles for the president, the poll points to even steeper challenges for Romney, including concerns about his tax returns and a lack of support for his plans to overhaul Medicare.

I don't understand why you had to go outside the article to look for the poll.. it's between the 3rd and 4th paragraph..:confused:

Do you make this nitpickiness about every number the pollsters publish? When they say that Obama's polling at 51% or something, do you go nuh-uh it could be 51.235456857%?! Liars?!

if you're going to poll a specific group about a specific question, then you need to poll that specific group. i can tell you, like nigel, have not look at the actual polling data. if you did, you would see that no where in the actual poll is such a question and nothing in the actual poll backs up 0%.

my point is simple, if you're going to poll black people about a vote, don't make them only 12% of the polling pool. if you do, then the poll is not valid as per that data sought. if they had polled only black people, the poll would be more valid as to their point.

12% of a sample size could very well be a valid sample size itself, it depends on the original sample size.

It's sad is what it is...What do you call a group that would vote against their self interest, AA unemployment nationally is near 15%, AA youth near 40%. Obama takes this group for granted, and from what your poll from NBC (:rofl2:) shows is that they don't care as long as the skin color is correct...I think y'all (to quote Biden) call anyone else racist for that....Hmmmmm....

Some of what you say is true. Obama does take the black vote for granted and knows that he doesn't have to lift a finger to get it. They are voting for their place in history. I can understand that although I don't agree with it.

What you have wrong is the notion they are voting against their own interests .. as if Romney would be better, as if Romney has a plan that makes sense.

Question: Are you going to vote for a white guy?

I'm betting that you are.

Is that racist?

hilarious...you focus on that and not the fact that the news article can't substantiate its claims via the actual pol.

0% is not 51.2 %. it would have been more accurate to say less than 1%. 0% has specific meaning and you should know this. have you read the actual poll to see if their claim is even valid? i can't find it the actual poll.
 
Two-faced Yurt is at it again!

Recently he started a thread about some "secret Obama immigration program" and when called on inaccuracies he bleated:

i didn't make the title you ignorant twat.

But the thing is...he DID...He created the OP, so he chose the thread title.


Now however, since it's someone ELSE...Yurt has taken the OPPOSITE stance...


enough said:
i looked....not there. but we see once again that nigel can't back up his claims, despite asking others to support data from a specific poll. hypocrite much?


...your title is bogus.

But he didn't create the title...isn't that the excuse you used last month, Yurt?

Typical two-faced liar.
 
the angry man is frothing again. what the angry man fails to state is that he claimed i lied in the title. the difference here is i merely said nigel's title is bogus, not that he lied or created it, something zappa accused me of doing when i merely copied the title.

poor angry man...all pissed and pounding on the keyboard
 
he also rates very low among latinos

however, conservatives have come up with a solution for that

they have taken a page out of the old jim crow play book - there is a group of 'poll watchers' that has formed for the express intention of intimidating minority voters at polling places

they have already come to the attention of the feds as a result of tactics used during the 2010 election in texas

they claim to have a budget of $1 million for the 2012 election so they can expand to more polling places - imo, most likely in swing states democratic leaning districts

as if requiring state issued photo identification is not enough

have anyone noticed that mittens has given up trying to appeal to minority voters

i guess that he is pinning his hopes on conservatives doing their best to suppress minority voting

bummer

if a poll is expressed in unitary numbers, then if the number expressing a positive vote for mittens is so low that it might as well be 0% even though the number
may be as high as 0.4%, once more rounding to an integer produces 0%

this may be less than accurate for some people who would prefer them to say 'less than 0.5%'

with modern polling techniques, smaller sample sizes (say around 800) produce valid results

it also depends on the people doing the polling and how good they are

still, it reflects just how low mittens rates among aa voters and imo, most minority voters

perhaps what is more important is that the the dems got 95% of the aa vote in the 2008 election

also, the abortion issue, courtesy of that mo senate candidate, is alienating women voters

unless there is a major incident, the voters seem to be leaning towards obama, however, it is to soon to pay attention to the polls except to indicate which way the voters are leaning

a small but significant number of voters have indicated that they have not made up their mind yet and are not likely to until election day

oh well
 
Wow, it's going to be awfully hard for libs to explain what happened the day after the election when Romney is the President elect....:rofl2:
 
Again, who cares if Mitt only gets 0% of the colored vote or 4% of the colored vote? The GOP has won without the colored vote for years. They don't need the colored vote. So fuck em. Let them stay mired in squalor and despair. They keep doing what they are doing, they deserve to get what they are getting. All they have to do is cry that their ancestors were slaves 200 years ago and that will make them feel much better

We'll know exactly what happened. The GOP election stealing machine is in full force.

Oh I don't know shit about reading poll numbers.. I'll freely admit that.. I was just trying to cork the whine since you'd been attacking people for a cpl posts and demanding the link that was right there in the article..in posting the link, I'd hope to get you off the unneeded insults since it was you who overlooked the data you were asking for, and move on to the actual information in the data..Because again, I don't know how to read polls and want to see how they came up with 0%.. if we can't even agree that yes, the link is there and has been there and oops, maybe we need to be civil about the error and admit the mistake then apologize for the insults.... then how can the discussion go forward? How can ones opinion/position be weighed as valid?

but it seems you just want to insult ppl.. so carry on. I already know how to insult, so I'll pay attention to those teaching what I don't know... ;)
