Zero percent. That's quite a feat. I guess those secret black supporters of Mitt's are so stealthy that they refuse to tell an anonymous pollster that they support him:

Looking inside the numbers, Obama continues to lead Romney among key parts of his political base, including African Americans (94 percent to 0 percent), Latinos (by a 2-to-1 margin), voters under 35-years-old (52 percent to 41 percent) and women (51 percent to 41 percent).

in one poll. wow...i didn't realize you were that naive. if these people were polled, guess what, they would not be statistically insignificant. you do realize the poll only had 12% black respondents....

and you could please cite the actual data from the actual poll that supports the OP. thanks.

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....

What percentage of the US adult population is black?

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.

who cares the percentage...if you're going to poll a specific race about something, then poll that race. but your poll didn't do that. nothing in the poll you cited supports your claim.
 
Well, you seem to think that 12% is too low a percentage of black people to get statistically legitimate results. You ought to know what percentage of the overall adult population is black if you want to make that argument. (BTW, it's a shade over 13%).

And the poll results are right in the body of the article. I quoted the relevant portion. I believe the poll data itself is linked, though the demographic breakdown per question may not be.

By the way, it's a Wall Street Journal (you know, the publication owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, sister corporation of FOXNEWS)/ NBC poll.

i said if you're going to poll a specific group, why would you only poll 12% of that specific group? try to stop misrepresenting what people say all the time.

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.

Depends on how many of them there are.

Obama won 99% of the black vote in 2008, this is not exactly surprising.

Unemployment would be 30%+ if the Republicans had been in charge. There would be few, if any, blacks employed. I imagine the Republicans would've repealed laws against racist hiring policies too, in the name of "freedom". How could a black person support Republicans? Any black person who supports Republicans is a traitor.

It has to round to 0%, it doesn't have to actually be 0%. When 0.1% of black voters supported Romney in a poll, how are they supposed to notate it? Go up to 1%, to make conservatives feel happier?

so it is not actually zero. thanks, that was my whole point. good job grasshopper.

I'm not sure if you know how polling works. They polled much, much fewer than 12% of all African-Americans in the United States.

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.
