I hope WRAL didn't spend a lot of money on this poll.

It's so weird how blacks, who always vote for democrats, are still supporting THIS democrat, even though he's the first BLACK one!

Seriously... WTF?

10/27/2008 7:35:48 PM

^blacks voted for democrats by a margin of 92 to 3 percent? (serious question)

Pretty much

10/27/2008 7:39:24 PM

ok, that's one source, so I'll start believing it, slightly.

any others. I wouldn't call CNN an unbiased source

[Edited on October 27, 2008 at 7:41 PM. Reason : and maybe for a less intense election? I've got the feeling that has to effect it some]

10/27/2008 7:40:19 PM

Yeah, they probably fudged their exit polling data

Good call

10/27/2008 7:40:47 PM

or take exit polls in "strategic" locations

[Edited on October 27, 2008 at 7:42 PM. Reason : any media poll can be skewed]

10/27/2008 7:41:31 PM

MSNBC was in on it too!

I'm just asking for sources and stating that any poll can be skewed, and seeing has how most of the major media companies are biased, it wouldn't surprise me that media outlets with the same political stance, would have data that matches.

No need to be a dickhead about it.

10/27/2008 7:44:43 PM

i don't know if this has anything about parties but it has stuff about registration and who votes and blah blah. i don't know if it has anything about race/party. but it has other statistics.

someone find it on fox news. that will make believers out of everyone. we report, you decide.

10/27/2008 7:46:09 PM

^^I'm asking for multiple sources, I never denied anything. Who doesn't use multiple sources

The exit polling isn't conducted by the networks themselves. It's handed over to a third party media research organization.

10/27/2008 7:48:44 PM

^^yeh, because the rolly eyes weren't dickish

BLACKS VOTE DEMOCRAT

NEWS AT 11

10/27/2008 7:51:22 PM

but exit polls have been notoriously flawed

10/27/2008 7:52:27 PM

Yep, but unless you have something less flawed...

10/27/2008 7:53:25 PM

^^true, they haven't always been all that great, but for such a large difference (92 to 3%), I'd have to say that an error couldn't really change the overall fact

[Edited on October 27, 2008 at 7:54 PM. Reason : .]

10/27/2008 7:53:55 PM

^^ well yea i mean what else do we have.

^ yes.

10/27/2008 7:54:48 PM

i knew black people generally voted democrat, but i didn't realize there was that kind of margin.

10/27/2008 7:55:04 PM

they might have the buttons wired up backwards!

10/27/2008 7:55:30 PM

^^which is what I was trying to determine. I didn't think it was that big of a difference. I'm still skeptical, but I guess it is what it is

the only reason anyone can vote for mccain now is cause they're racist

i thought that at the last white people meeting everyone agreed to vote for mccain????

wtf is going on

10/27/2008 8:43:00 PM

aha marko

icee what you did there.

10/27/2008 8:47:23 PM

If you don't like exit polling, then would you be satisfied by using the percentage of blacks registered as Democrats vs. other parties as a proxy?

If so, 84% of African-Americans in North Carolina who are registered to vote are registered as Democrats. Nearly 12% are registered as unaffiliated, so that leaves about 4% for Republican or other parties.

FactCheck.org is supposed to be a fairly unbiased source of, well, facts.
