Poll: Barack Obama could lose six percentage points on election day for being black
Six percentage points is the price Barack Obama could pay on election day for being black.
That disturbing calculation was found in a groundbreaking new Associated Press-Yahoo News poll conducted with Stanford University which probes the effect of the Democratic presidential candidate's race on his historic campaign for the White House.
"There's a penalty for prejudice, and it's not trivial," Stanford University political scientist Paul Sniderman told the AP.
In a close contest, racism "might be enough to tip the election," Sniderman said.
Still, the Illinois senator seems to be making some headway even with white Americans who don't have much good to say about African-Americans.
Among the white Democrats who think blacks are lazy, or violent, or boastful, two-thirds said they will vote for Obama over Sen. John McCain, a white Republican.
The poll of 2,227 adults was conducted Aug. 27-Sept. 5, and was designed to probe people's racial attitudes and how those attitudes affect voting.
It shows that when it comes to race, there has been some progress in America: Most white people have positive things to say about black people.
Still, pollsters found that a substantial portion of white Americans have very little contact with African-Americans - and many still harbor negative feelings toward them.
Whites also have a rosier view of race relations than blacks. When asked "how much discrimination against blacks" exists, 10% of whites said "a lot" while 57% of blacks said "a lot."
Asked how much of the nation's racial tension is created by blacks, more than a third of whites said "most" or "all."
Meanwhile, nearly three-fouths of the blacks polled said while people have too much influence in U.S. politics.
Also, the perception that voters in their 20s and 30s might go for Obama because they're less racially biased than their parents might be wrong.
The survey found no meaningful differences in the way younger and older whites viewed black people.
But older whites were more likely to say when they really think of blacks than the younger generations.
Not surprisingly, racial prejudice tends to be lowest among college-educated whites living outside the South, the pollsters found.
And this is surprising how?
I guess that's McCain fault.
If the U.S. really elects McCain/Piglin…then they (the US) deserve them
VOTE OBAMA!
Sad but not shocking.
How ridiculous!!! Who cares if the candidate is black, white, green,etc.. it's 2008, stop the racist bullshit already!!!!
And he could lose more points for being totally inexperienced to lead our country. We'll see what the debates bring.
IF YOU WERE A REAL SUPPORTER YOU WOULD NOT BE SAYING SHIT LIKE THIS…THAT TURNS PEOPLE OFF..THEN LESS PPL VOTE FR HIM…..IDIOT.
See, thats sad. I wouldn't vote based on race. Race to me is irrelevant…it's if you can do the job. What does bother me is that he denounces the other parts of his race makeup…he's arab and white as well. Own the mix not just an ingredient. I don't trust someone who dislikes parts of himself and where he comes from.
Letty, did you give into peer pressure and change your avitar.
I was at a real blue collar/ predominantly democrat wedding a couple of weeks ago, and I heard a couple of comments along those lines - they'd never vote for a Black man. Seems kind of sad in this day and age, doesn't it?
give me a little Kiss
oh well ya John
I want to kiss your lips
and squeeze your bunz..
hey perez, you love
me?
call me
for a date honey sweetieheart babyface.
He not black he be mixed.
will these stats be offset by the number of voters who are voting for him strictly b/c he is black?…….
How many points will McCain lose because of ageism, or Palin because of sexism, or even Biden because of his Plagiarism? Why focus on only the one issue?
I'm surprised that the Democrats only realized this now! Bottomline: He's going to lose the election because of his cocky arrogance! He was so over confident that he blew off Hillary and forgot that are a lot of people who have a problem with his skin. And we'll get stuck with pro-life, anti-gays, drill-crazy politicians for another 4 years!
So funny, he has that saying Yes we can! Which the Mexicans use to support their soccer team, it started a few years back at the World Cup in France now Obama uses it, original!
if you don't vote for me coz
I'm black, that's just stupid
coz I'm not even black!
I'm only 11% black
you have to be 18% to be a real black person.
I'm 43 % muslim
if you don't vote
for me
then let that
be the
REASON, YOU STUPID FREAKING IDIOTS
Sux, but I dont care. I'm still voting for him….OBAMA 08 BABY!!!
polls mean nothing right now.
day to day they change.
Sad but not surprising…
Whatever. I guess they are preparing to use the "race card" for when he loses. Who cares if he's black…..it's his LACK of experience running ANYTHING that worries me!
MCCAIN/PALIN '08!!
The black people were
for hilary when I
wasn't around
look how
racist they are!
Now, they vote
for me and
I'm not even
a black
man.
aahhhuu
Dont get some americans. Why cant you accept black people!?!
Stupid
OH, STOP IT!!!! Could he have gotten this far if this were true?? I see this as a way of preparing the way for an excuse if he should lose. and it is not a NICE excuse if you ask me. so far it had been a campaign of an adult. the fact that he is a Muslim is what bothers me, NOT his skin color.
IS THIS REALLY A SURPRISE TO ANYONE?
Re: GOOPY – Yeah it's better to lie and win it in a sham.
Sad, but true. Look at the way McCain runs his campaign, he's trying to make every white person out there scared of someone who obviously has more brains in one portion of his brain than the entire Republican party. McCan't is counting on the stupid people of the U.S., and there are millions of them, the same ones who voted for Bush. The U.S. is seriously fucked up.
well, technically he's biracial so maybe he lose too many to make a difference.
:|
ugh, I can't stand some ppl. fucking racists…i hope these ppl die soon so that the open minded generation can take over
Re: The Warden –
YOU NEED A REALITY CHECK.
REPUBLICANS PRACTICALLY INVENTED RACISM.
IT AMAZES ME HOW REPUBLICAN ASSHOLES WILL MAKE EXCUSES FOR ANYTHING THEY DO.
Re: e-rock – FATHER FROM KENYA, MOTHER FROM THE U.S. LAST TIME I CHECKED KENYA WAS IN AFRICA NOT THE MIDDLE EAST. BOTTOM LINE::::!!!!HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII THE LOVELY HONEYMOON STATE AND THAT MAKES HIM ABOVE ALL AMERICAAAAAN. MUSLIM IS A RELIGION AND HIS FATHER PRACTICED THE MUSLIM FAITH. NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS BY THE WAY. WHY DON'T YOU EDUCATE YOURSELF. I BELIEVE IN GOD HOWEVER I'M NOT RELIGOUS. I HAVE STUDIED RELIGION IN COLLEGE JUST OUT OF INTEREST. THAT DOES NOT MEAN I AM JEWISH OR BUDDHIST BECUASE I LEARNED ABOUT THE RELIGIONS. OBAMA HAS ADMITTED TO STUDYING HIS FATHER'S FAITH ALTHOUGH HE IS A BAPTIST. I THINK IF HE WERE MUSLIM HE WOULDN'T HAVE ATTENDED A BAPTIST CHURCH MOST OF HIS LIFE. IGNORE HEAR SAY BULLSHIT AND SEARCH THE FACTS.
OBAMA WILL WIN, IS ALREADY A FACT, HE HAS NO CONTENDER!
It's a shame, but true a lot of ignorant people out there.
McCain should loose a lot of people for being so damn old. You know if you seen him working a checkout lane in Walmart, you would totally find another lane.
Re: Afuckingswe –
They can accept black people.
Black people are the ones with
the el problem o.
They can't seem to find their
way outta the fog
of their
ancestors being slaves.
last I checked, their
haven't been any
slaves I heard
about in over 100 years.
Hey it sucks but it goes BOTH WAYS. JOHN McCain is losing black republican votes b/c he is white. So what. Its the way of the world. Sucks badly but, it's not just Obama suffering. Although it's the only side of this you will hear. You won't hear about McCain losing black republicans even though 3 weeks ago it was the front story of CNN with the headline reading black republicans being stuck between a rock and a hard place about voting for a fellow African American or voting for their party. He's gaining more votes for being black then losing them. End of story. We all know this.
I am sick and tired of bullshit and sick and tired of the mainstream news media!!! THIS IS NOT NEWS! Barack's been Black for 47 years! This was already discussed in the primaries. Duh-uh! The entire country is in a major financial crisis. The international banking community is telling us to go to hell, they do not want to cooperate with us! This is major. We haven't even started feeling the effects. It is like watching a huge domino display.Someone in the other room just tapped the dominos and they are starting to fall. Small businesses and medium sized businesses won't be able to get loans when credit tightens and people will start losing their jobs, massively, but all the media wants to do is stir up the race issue. I am voting for Barack. I will never vote Republican again. They have ruined everything with greed and dishonesty. I hate the Republicans and I hate the mainstream media. I get my news off the internet. I'd vote for a dog before I vote Republican.
isn't he half white? How come he never talks about both?
Re: harrybalsac – she did!!!
Re: Ilianexy –
I'm going to lose.
I myself am
voting for McCain.
People hate my wife,
but they love that
baracuda girl
from Alaska.
Let us not forget the racism of those people who are voting for him because he is black — OPRAH!
That makes my heart so sad that people are still that stupid!!!!!
Re: yourazzzuckzbuttermilk – PLEASE STAY HOME ON ELECTION DAY. HOW IS IT THAT YOU'RE STILL ALIVE IF YOUR BRAIN IS MISSING. MUSLIM IS A RELIGION NOT A RACE. JUST LIKE CATHOLICISM IS A RELIGION. AND HE IS HALF BLACK HALF WHITE. HAVING RELATIVES WHO PRACTICE THE MUSLIM FAITH DOES NOT MAKE YOU MUSLIM. I HAVE RELATIVES THAT ARE CATHOLIC BUT I AM NOT RELIGOUS MYSELF. STOP MAKING UP STORIES. YOU'RE A FUCKING RETARD.
THIS IS STARTLING TO YOU????? have you been living under a rock????? you are so annoying sometimes with how naive you are about the world perez. i know you wish people treated everyone with respect, loved the gays and all races. but WAKE UP. this world isnt like that yet!!! so dont act surprised when stats come out like this!!!!!!!!!
Re: ss794- – IS SHE VOTING FOR HIM CUZ HE'S BLACK OR CUZ SHE AGREES WITH WHERE HE STANDS ON THE ISSUES? HAVE U CALLED OPRAH TO CONFIRM? …..OH NO U HAVEN'T SO STFU!!!!!
No surprise here at all. Hell even Mario posted a racist picture of Barack Obama last week. This country is simply scared to death of a person of color running this country. They would rather vote for an old white man who will guarantee this country four more years of war and shitty economy than vote for a black man. I don't want to hear any complaints when motherfuckers can't pay their bills and lose their homes because the economy is so bad under McCain.
Re: audacity of crap – HE TALKS ABOUT HIS CHILDHOOD AND HIS MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER A LOT. PAY ATTENTION!
Since we are discussing racism, what about Obama's alleged issues with racism. It seems that for 20 years he was able to ignore his pastor's racist rants but when Obama's pastor was exposed to the public and could effect Obama's chances, Obama became a turncoat then only then. Racism flows both ways. It is the very reason that African Americans are assumed to vote in blocks against the Republican candidates. Again, racism runs both ways.
Re: moonbeams – I'M WITH YOU ON THAT. VOTE FOR MY DOG. LOL!
Re: Isadora –
He is not a muslim you fucking retard.
And folks these are White Democrats that are saying this. 1/3 of White Democrats are saying they will not vote for him because he is black. Go figure. The party Clinton and if it feels good do it won't even vote for a black guy. YAY!!
Firstly … is it any surprise that racism still exists (worldwide). Secondly … if Barack is going to rely on polls to guide himself well he lost the election already.
BTW did the poll take into account the feeble factor of McCain or did they just want to make it a black and white issue.
Re: Intellect_Rules – funny, historically you are correct. Politics of fear have won the reps many elections. This year, however, the dems have seized on this tactic……….haven't you noticed?….According to Obama, the sky is falling!!!….both literally and figuratively.
omg he is not black 100% he is half white. his mother is WHITE. HE WAS RAISED BY HIS GRANDPARENTS THEY ARE WHITE. GET TEH FUCK OFF THE RACE IF YOU GOING TO BE ON RACE TALK THE TRUTH. HE IS HALF WHITE AND BLACK.
RACIST WHITE AMERICA NEEDS TO GET OVER THEMSELVES!
Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama Sr. of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham of Wichita, Kansas. His parents met while both were attending the East-West Center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student. In his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, Obama describes a nearly race-blind early childhood. He writes: "That my father looked nothing like the people around me –- that he was black as pitch, my mother white as milk –- barely registered in my mind."
At his high school graduation, Barack Obama gets a hug from his grandmother Madelyn as his grandfather Stanley beams. His maternal grandparents raised Obama in Hawaii while his mother was living in Indonesia. (Photo courtesy of Maya Soetoro-Ng / March 23, 2007)
Re: The Warden – here here
ALL YOU OBAMA HATERS MUST SECRETLY LOVE HIM IF YOU KEEP COMING TO PEREZHILTON TO LOOK FOR STORIES ABOUT HIM AND CHOOSE TO COMMENT. YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY OBSESSED WITH HIM AND GIVING HIM JUST AS MUCH ATTENTION AS THE MEDIA GIVES SARAH PIGLING. IF YOU HATE HIM SO MUCH THEN STAY AWAY FROM HERE AND KEEP HIS NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTHS CUZ ITS NOT A COCK. WE OBVIOUSLY ALL KNOW WHO WE'RE VOTING FOR BY NOW SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE OBAMA START YOU'RE OWN RACIST CONSERVATIVE BLOG AND TALK WITH EACH OTHER ABOUT JESUS AND HOW YOU ALL WANT TO BRING BACK SLAVERY AND CONTROL OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES. LEAVE US "LIBERALS" ALONE. (AS IF THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SOME SORT OF INSULT…LOL)
This figure is low balled…There are still alot of good ol boys out there!! Although, things change, alot of things still stay the same.. Racism being one. It's really a shame in 2008.

Re: WONDER TWIN – Well he is bi-racial but according to the black population in this country if you are even 1% black you are considered black so there. The blacks have killed themselves once again by stating if you are 1% black you are black. Can't have it both ways he is black and a Muslim

hah uhm yeah if america votes in mccain it will just reinforce everyones view of dumb americans 0:-) sorry has to be said
Did anyone see him dancing on Ellen? Dude is SO white!! LOL
Re: The Warden – Post 20
You are correct. The poll also stated that - Lots of Republicans harbor prejudices, too, but the survey found they weren't voting against Obama because of his race. Most Republicans wouldn't vote for any Democrat for president—white, black or brown. What the poll found was that Democrats are the one's voting based on prejudice. If he loses, the guilty racists will be the Democrats.
Re: audacity of crap – lol yes he did you IDOIT she just dies in 1995. PEOPLE ON THIS COMPUTER ARE SO DUMB.
wow
could you imagine
if he was
black
AND
GAY???
Of Course! If he loses it MUST be because of his color - racist Democrats!
HOW COME THE NEWS HASN'T REPORTED ON JOHN MCCAIN'S CHIEF OF STAFF BEING GAY. THE STORY ONLY CAME OUT YESTERDAY. MCCAIN HAS VOTED AGAINST EVERY MEASURE TO HELP GAYS OUT EVER. EVEN SOMETHING SO LAME AS TO VOTE AGAINST GAYS BEING ABLE TO RECIEVE FINACIAL BENEFITS. THAT'S A MCSHAME!
IF BARACK'S CHIEF OF STAFF WERE GAY THE PRESS WOULD BE ALL OVER IT. IT SEEMS THE PRESS HAS BACKED DOWN A LOT OFF MCSHAME/PIGLING. THEIR CRYING AND WHINING MUST HAVE DID IT. THAT'S OK. YOU CATCH MORE BEES WITH HONEY THAN VINEGAR. THIS WILL MAKE THE DEMS LOOK BETTER AND WE'LL GET ALL THE VOTES. HAHA
Re: JembaBemba – NOBODY FROM BARACK'S CAMP IS CRYING RACISM YOU FOOL. THAT WAS BASED ON A POLL THAT SOME INTERNET SITE TOOK. IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEMOCRATS. MORON!
I am a Republican and have voted for democrats in the past. So your generalization is "partyist".
Re: audacity of crap – YOU AFRAID TO SAY THE WORD CUNT, YOU FUCKING UGLY CUNT. TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE. AFTER ALL YOU CRAWLED OUT OF THE DIRTIEST HERPES INFESTED CUNT OF ALL TIME, YOUR MOTHER YOU FUCKING CUNT RAG PIECE OF SHIT. RIGHT NOW I'M CASTING ASPELL ON YOU SO THAT YOU GET AIDS! WHAT DOES HIS MOTHER DYING HAVE TO DO WITH RACE??????? HE WAS RAISED BY HIS GRANDPARENTS. I WAS RAISE DBY MY MOM BECAUSE MY DAD IS SUCH A FUCK UP. NOT EVERYONE HAS A "WHITE PICKET FENCE" LIFE YOU SNOB! SO YOU CHECK YOUR FUCKING FACTS AND I HOPE YOU DIE BY 8PM TONIGHT!!
The media, including Mario, wants to guilt you into voting for this dunce but he will lose because he's a radical Communist who wants to gut America as we know it. It has nothing to do with race. If a conservative black like Clarence Thomas were running for President, he would win. America is a center-right country.
Re: Renee26 – hahahahahahhah poor white trash phahhahahahahhahahhahaha
Re: Renee26 – Jermaine…..is that you hiding behind that cute little puppy??
I am glad this story was posted, because people swear that race is a non existent issue, when a lot of the time it is an underlying issue most people do not want to admit.
I am all about moving on, but let's admit the issue.
That's BS. Even Rev. Al Sharpton said last night that he thought those polls were misleading because Obama has already won mainly white states like Iowa far and above either Hillary or McCain. They're pulling out the race card as a last ditch effort to save him from choosing Biden over Hillary as a running mate. Only the Democrats could have lost us this election where they should have won so handily.
I agree with these findings….I think a majority of black america purposely alienate themselves…..and it gives whites no choice but to not understand them…..and therefore judge, with good reason….its like a big pink elephant in the room that nobody feels their allowed to talk about.
This really comes to no surprise. As much as people try to deny it, racism is still alive and plaguing the country. I don't think we'll ever get rid of it, even if Obama (fingers crossed that he doesn't) get elected into office. Let's also look at the other side though, I have a hunch that people are afraid of making fun of Obama because of his heritage. If you crack a joke about him you are immediately fingered as a racist. I've had people tell me I'm a racist because I'm NOT voting for Obama. I'm NOT voting for Obama because of what he stands for and his lack of experience. I vote for the person I believe will do the job right.
Re: audacity of crap – YOU'RE ANTOHER ONE OF THOSE MORONS THAT READ THOSE VIRAL EMAILS THAT GET SENT OUT ABOUT OBAMA. I'M SURE MCCAIN'S CAMP HAVE NOTHIGN TO DO WITH THOSE EMAILS. RIIIIGHT! ITS FUNNY OBAMA'S CAMP NEVER STOOPED THAT LOW AS TO SEND OUT MASS CHAIN EMAILS THAT ARE TOTAL UTTER LIES ABOUT HIS OPPONENT. IT'S BECAUSE EVEN MCSHAME KNOW HOW STUPID SOME OF YOU AMERICANS ARE AND HE'S TOTALLY TAKING ADVANTAGE. WHERE DO U READ YOUR FACTS. THAT'S TOTALLY FALSE. YOU'RE A FUCKING TOOL. GO FOLLOW THE REST OF THE BIBLE THUMPING FREAKS AND LEAVE THIS SITE. GO CHAT ON SOME CHRISTIAN CULT FORUM AND LEAVE US ALONE!

Re: Renee26 – #86
Your mom didn't do a very good job. I have never read a person spew such hatred and vileness, even in these forums. Do you kiss her with that mouth? Perhaps YOU are the one who should leave… maybe take it over to Daily Kos?
Obama of his grandmother who raised him, "she was a typical white person." What does that mean? Are all whites one way, all blacks another? That sounds awfully racist to me.
Odder still is that the Democrats got us into the Fannie May fiasco and nobody wants to acknowledge that. Oh wait, the Republicans can't because they too have guilt…just not quite as much.
Re: audacity of crap – NO ACTUALLY IM NOT POOR AT ALL. I AM AN EDUCATED (NYU)WHITE CHIC FROM NYC BABY, NOT TRAILOR PARK TRASH ALABAMA/KENTUCKY/TENNESSE/INSERT STUPID MORON STATE HERE LIKE YOU.

Gore lost (yes, he did). Kerry lost. They aren't black. They are fucking liberal. Obama will lose. Because he is REALLY fucking liberal. Not because he's black.

Re: abercorey –
I 110% completely agree.
Go watch "Bon Qui Qui" on youtube and PLEASE tell me that about 85% of black people don't act like that… b/c that is BS.
If the steriotypes weren't true, then there wouldn't be racism.
MCCAIN SUCKS BIG DICK
Re: yourazzzuckzbuttermilk – Are you fucking retarded? Muslim is a religion you bigot, not a nationallity. I'm 1/2 jew but it doesn't make me Isreali! If anyone actually did some reading on the Muslim faith, it's actually quite peaceful, not hateful as these extremists make it. I was raised catholic but it doesn't make a republican. Obama/Biden '08 (No matter what color skin or nationality or religion!)
Re: Renee26 – yes, we all know how you love to preach to the choir
McCain-Palin 08
what, you didn't hear? "community organizer" is a code word for "black." you'd be surprised how many seemingly innocuous words suddenly become racist with barack as president.
