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.
Re: Renee26 – We come here for gossip, not this crap, moron.
That sucks big time. But that is what McCain is counting on, that is why he is putting out those racists ads!!!!
Re: ValdostaStateBlazers –
lol bon qui qui is sooo funny….a friend showed me that a couple weeks ago…..and your 100% right, stereotypes exist for a reason…..whether it reflects a majority or not…..we are all just observers.
I'm not a racist, but I am not voting for that Muslim terrorist sympathizer!
duh. obviously a lot of people who kind of like him will get cold feet at the last minute
Re: MRS.RICKY MARTIN – "MCCAIN SUCKS BIG DICK"

well that won't work with you then will it
Re: abercorey – WHITE PEOPLE ACT JUST AS GHETTO SO PLEASE GET OVER YA SELF… YOU CAN YOUTUBE THAT.
Re: PunkyBrewstein –
lol are you bi-polar?? you're not racist??? I heard you say every racist word in the book….and then some.
IF OBAMA LOSES I WON'T BE TOO SURPIRSED SINCE I KNOW MOST OF THIS COUNTRY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW STATES IS ASS BACKWARDS AND RETARDED CUZ THEY ALL FUCK THEIR COUSINS. IF HE WINS, I HAVE MADE A PROMISE TO MYSELF TO BE MORE POSITIVE.
no one race is better that the other. ALLL RACES ARE IN JAIL.. ALL RACES DO DRUGS, ALL RACES ARE CRIMALS. SO STOP PLEASE NO RACE IS PERFECT PERIOD. NOT THE WHITE RACE, BLACK RACE, LATIN RACE ANY RACES. PERIOD SO GET OFF THE FUCKING COLOR ISSUES WHEN THERE IS NOT ONE PURE RACE IN THIS WORLD.
These "statistics" really don't mean a whole hell of a lot. It's just some jackasses projection.
I won't believe anything until after the election and our new President is announced.
It's funny that WakeupPeople stated that: "that is what McCain is counting on, that is why he is putting out those racists ads!!!!" Read the article because the people polled were DEMOCRATS. Apparently you believe Democrats vulnerable to racism…they must be dumb.
Re: URnot1stdumbass – LOL. SO THEN WHY ARE U COMMENTING ON THE CAMPAIGN POST RETARD. THIS IS AN ELECTION YEAR. EVEN GOSSIP BLOGS WILL BE POSTING INFO RE: THE ELECTION. THIS IS PEREZ' BLOG HE CAN POST WHAT HE LIKES. IF U DON'T LIKE IT FUCK OFF. GO READ THE NATIONAL INQUIRER
Haha no one likes a Nigge*. Also it's called the White House not the Black House…Idiot!
Re: Renee26 – you could start by releasing your caps lock……..followed by intensive therapy
How about you look at this from the other perspective. I guarantee there is a large percentage of black voters who will vote for Obama because he is black. Isn't that racist against McCain since he is white. It's Funny how no one mentions this.
Re: LS –
Yeah… some white people do. But not the majority…
Which is the underlying reason why white people can get jobs easier… and the prime reason why affirmative action is an indirect and ridiculous form of reverse discrimination. The reason blacks can't get jobs is not just b/c they are black… it's lack of education, manners, and care for the jobs.
P.S. White people are slowly becoming the largest minority. I can't wait until we can have Ms. White America, WET, White Student League, NAAWP, etc. MUHAHAHA.
NOTS SURPRISED!
I have stated before that racism is alive and well in America. Atleast racists like state ziti are upfront with their Bullshit, It's the closet racist that truely disgust me. I digress. As I have said, people that doubt the undercurrent of racism and sexism need to take a look at Obama's own VP who to paraphrase basically said Obama surprised him b/c of how intelligently he speaks and the demeanor in which he carries himself, he has never know a clean cut black person. The color line as Toqueville states will contribute to America's hindrance oif realizing its full potential of Exceptionalism.
ALL HE TALKS ABOUT IS CHANGE, BUT NEVER EXPLAINS ON CHANGING WHAT? HE SUCKS !
Vote for the white side of him, he is mixed so if you dont like the black side vote for the white side. ITS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, LOL
Perez - You caption makes it look like Obama is the "Week/Weak" subject matter.
-
WEAK? That's a bigot. And there are lots of them, sadly.
If you notice, most of the "Red" States were at one time the Slave States….
gotta wonder
Re: The Warden – Dude seriously, where are you getting your information from? Please don't state your opinion as fact. The truth is there are prejudiced people in both parties. For you to even attempt to imply that the Democrats are the only racists is not only absurd, but grossly irresponsible. Let me also point out the fact the there has never once been a Black, Asian, or Hispanic presidential candidate or nominee in the history of the republican party. That is certainly no accident. One more thing, the Republican party, in recent history has been a party of the wealthy, for the wealthy, by the wealthy. I have yet to hear John McCain speak on behalf of the disenfranchised and poor people, or what he intends to do the close the tremendous gap between the have's and have not's. The truth is race will always be an issue in the country until people have an open and honest discussion about race and how we see each other. Barack Obama is trying to bring people together, not keep them apart. WAKE UP!
I believe that article is nothing but propaganda. Every person I know who is not voting for Obama does NOT care that he is black. They are concerned about his muslim background and the people he associates with. They care that his wife is "ashamed" of America. They care that his paster and friend preaches hate for America. They care that he never answers a question straight forward, but uses a lot of fancy talk and rhetoric. The fact that he is black is a non-issue.
Is that a surprise??? Even my colleague told me that America is not ready for a Black President! I asked her when is America going to be ready???she didn't reply, I guess the answer is unfortunately NEVER. I hope Barrack will force us to be ready! If you vote for McCain, Don't complain later and have the courage to admit to!!
You would think that in this day and age this wouldn't be such a problem, but it is. My mother in law, a lifelong democrat and hater of all things Bush, she doesn't know if she'll actually vote this time. She doesn't want McCain, would never even think of voting for a republican, but is very resistant in voting for a person just because they are black (not on issues).
Re: chuckyb74 –
Blacks have always voted Democrats, that has never changed! you are not making a point!!! find something else!
Re: ss794- – Blacks have always voted Democrats, that has never changed! you are not making a point!!! find something else!
OMG, do people still think he is Muslim? He's not!
But most Muslims are not terrorists anyway. Its just another fucked up religion like Christianity. Religion promotes the "Us" verse "Them". We're right, there wrong, etc.
Re: WHORE1 – Did you NOT pay attention in history class? Abe Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN & he wanted to abolish slavery, buttttt yet republicans "invented" racism…wow your dumb!
Re: sirkenneth – amen to that (without the curse words)
That is pathetic! So what if he's half black? Stupid fucks! That means he's half white too! This is not the 1860's! Get over your stupid perceptions that skin color matters you ignorant fucks! He's what this country needs regardless of the color of his skin!
Re: myestra –
So you and you're friends do not fall into the 6% the poll addresses.
The fact is the poll exemplifies that racism (just like sexism) plays a role in our decision making nothinf else and America is filled with a lot of racism and stereotypes and the racism is not just B vs. W.
I'll believe racism is ebbing when I see a minority man or a Female make it to the highest office in the land @ the rate this country is diversifying it will happen eventually. It may just happen in my lifetime!

THE ONE DROP RULE WAS INSTITUTED BY WHITE AMERICA SO GET OVER YOURSELF! PLESSY VS. FERGUSON MAKES OBAM BLACK IN THIS COUNTRY SO DON'T POST BS THAT BLACKS DECIDE WHO'S BLACK AND WHO'S NOT.
I am sure that Palin will have the same problem because she is a woman. Look, Obama does not have the experience. I can stand up all day long and say I stand for change, I agree with you and I dream big. If someone with NO experience came to you to apply for a job in your personally owned business with NO experience you would not hire them. No matter how many times they told you they could change your business or make it better.

If you are still harping on this after 20 months then you don't care what he means and you have already made up your mind. He addressed Change at the DNC convention AND his ENTIRE blueprint for change is on his website under the ISSUES tab Just like Senator McCain's.

And this is news? I've been saying from day one if Obama loses it's because people are still too racist and not ready to let a black man hold such a high honor. McCain and his vicious, lied filled campaign is nauseating, he's going to die in office and leave us with a psychopathic, vindictive woman as President, all because America is so fucking racist. There's no other reason to vote for McCain, unless you make 5 million dollars a year that is. LMFAO at all you RETARDS I now HOPE Mccain wins so you can all feel STUPID for voting for him as EVERYONE did with George Bush's dumb, incompetent ass.
Re: moonbeams – It is a shame you are blaming the republicans for the mortgage crisis. Under the Clinton administration in 1999 Fannie Mae was pressured to lower the standards for lending on sub prime loans. An article in the NY Times predicted what could happen………and it did. go to craigs list to see the NYT article for 1999.
Re: Dabid – Dabid, stfu. I get mad when people pull the race card TOO much, but this is the case here and that's it. There's no one who's NOT voting for Mccain because he's too old, people who don't like him just like to make fun of him for that. So SHUT the FUCK up already. No one has bias more against them than Obama. Get your head out your ass retard and look the fuck around.
Re: kissme1lstime – How does he not explain himself? OBVIOUSLY youre an ignorant moron and just go off what you hear in the media. If you actually WATCHED Obama himself speak you would know he ALWAYS lays out what he plans to do to help this country. Educate yourself before you post bullshit and force other people to read it you asshole.
Only in a country like this could someone lose because of their race. Haven't we learned anything over the years?
He's just as white as he is black…stop making excuses. BO will lose points simply because of his inexperience.
Re: Minx – You are wrong. It was two ton slobberyoo Al Sharpton who said that
Re: Renee26 – No your the moron. This poll was comprised of White Democrats who told the pollster they would not vote for Hussein Obama because he is black
Re: WONDER TWIN – You need to go back to your junior college classes and prepare to get a real job, because when you do, you will stop spewing such idealistic crap. When you get into the real world you will begin to see who people are and how they interact and treat other people. By your saying you want racist to die is just as mean spirited as a person saying they think black people are lazy and boastful. Pot calling the kettle black…..it's called an idiom….you will learn that word when you take English 300… when you get there.
I was on the fence until McCain chose Palin. That just solidified my vote for BO. The thought of Palin being second in line is absolutely frightening.
Re: Obama412 – What are you talking about? What does he lay out? All he ever says is uhm–change- uhm uhm–yeah change– we need -uhm uhm uhm - he -uhm change. sounds like beavis yeah - yeah- hehe- yeah uhm change - yeah he he
Re: Obama412 – I don't feel dumb for voting for GW. I love the guy and he's doing a great job despite what the liberal media says. YOU should investigate before you post BS. YOU are the king of BS and your foul mouth doesn't make you sound more intelligent just shows how stupid you are.
Re: Renee26 – Your type of thinking scares me.
Re: mamajud –
The one drop rule states that if you have one drop of black blood in you, you are black. This became an instituted policy when "half whites" quadroons, octaroons wanted equal treatment even freedom b/c of their white blood. The supreme Court struck that notion down via Plessy vs. Ferguson. Blacks were considered merchant goods Not people and only counted as 1/5ths a person in the South so that the South would have equal "say" in Congress. After the South lost the civil war and their way of life the South became Republican and the KKK was born in Tennessee to re- est. white supremacy in the south via intimidation and murder.
As proof from the various self righteous bigots on this blog, this is true!
I could name a few, but you know who you are!
But I must say, the Warden leads the group in ignorance.

Wow! The level of stupidity on this website is astounding. FACT Barack Obama is a CHRISTIAN. NOT a MUSLIM. How many times do they have say that. Secondly, He DOES NOT support terrorism! It just proves how truly racist you are if you're so easily lead to believe that propaganda bull shit. The fact is if you really wanted to know that facts you would do your research. Barack Obama wants American to come together. Clearly you idiots would rather another 4 years of Debt, War, and Poverty! And for those of you who claim he doesn't have the experience necessary to lead this country, I ask you to back up your statements with proof. What makes you so sure he can't lead? He's highly intelligent, well traveled, a great orator, and public speaker and humanitarian.
You people seem so bitter. Why so angry?
Oh I Feel Like a Singing!!!
Everyone's a little bit racist Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact
We all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.

Shouldn't lose cause he is black…should lose because he and his wife hate white people…and will bring this country down even lower. Will take money from the people who work and contribute to support every piece of lazy crap out there…and will invite a terrorist attack, because really is idea of talking to terrorists is just stupid.

Re: Minx – not sure why I required a double reply……..i don't really care about the history lesson or about getting in the middle of you argument…….i just like the song One Drop
Re: loribaby1 – HOW THEY HATE WHITE PEOPLE. WHEN HIS MOTHER IS WHITE AND HE WAS RAISED BY HIS GRANDPARENTS WHO ARE WHITE. SO TELL ME HOW THIS MAN HATE WHITE PEOPLE. HE HAS WHITE BLOOD IN HIM
If he were an average politician, this bias might hold him back, but he is the anti-sterotype of "black" and he is the anti-stereotype of "politician" to boot.
.
Not to mention his opponent is in full "off with his head" queen of hearts melt-down mode and won't talk to the press. If anyone fits the stereotype of "lazy, angry, aggressive, complaining" it's McWhiney.
Re: mamajud –
That was done on accident not intentional I have a hard time posting.
Also, I think that if he loses, it will have more to do with being pro-choice than anything else. Sad, but that is the only issue that 1/3 of the electorate understands. Economy and war are simply too abstract, but babies are cute.
PUH-LEEEZ!! SPARE ME THE LIBERAL GUILT BULLSHEEET!!!!

OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE AND REALIZE SPIN WHEN YOU SEE IT!!!!!
.
96% OF AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE POLLING FOR OBAMA!! VOTER REGISTRATION IS HUUUUGE AMONG NEW AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS WHO NEARLY ALL SAY THEY ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA!!

THIS IS A MARKETING PLOY OF THE LEFT TRYING TO 'GUILT TRIP' PEOPLE INTO VOTING FOR "POOR LITTLE OBAMA BECAUSE SO MANY RACISTS WILL BE VOTING AGAINST HIM"!

Re: independent ME – #126

He's got very little, little hands….
Re: Minx – lol…….i tease
Re: Notlikely – #155
Obama may not support terrorism, but the terrorists sure support him. Hell, Hamas even endorsed him!
I am not for Obama but this makes me really sad:(.
Re: LS – #162
Yes, not only was he raised by his white grandparents for three years, but he described his grandmother as "a typical white woman". That in itself is a racist statement.
Re: Notlikely – Besides being a good talker, which most politicians are, what has he done? I mean can you specifically tell me what laws, bills or suggestions he's made? I don't think you can. All he is, is a street agitator with no experience but running for office. Besides running for office what laws has he done or put through? Answer = nothing.
McCain/Palin 08!!!!!
Re: Smirks – TYPICAL IS RACIST FOR REAL… I DIDNT KNOW THAT THANKS FOR THE EDUCATION. THAT WOULD MAKE ANY ONE A RACIST. YOU ARE SO STUPID. YOU BASED HIM BEING RACIST CAUSE HE SAID TYPICAL WHAT IS THE REST OF THAT STATEMENT HE MADE. Did he say I hate white people. Regardless if my mom is white…and i was raised by whites. YOU SOUND STUPIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Re: JustSayin – WE ARE AND SO FAR THEY LOOK MUCH BETTER THAN PALIN EXPERIENCE LOL FOR SURE…
I really hope Americans are not this stupid/ignorant. I mean, what year is this??? All I have to say is, if Americans are stupid enough to vote for McCain because he's white (or should I say racists that won't vote for Barack
because he's black) then this Country deserves what it gets in the next 4 to 8 years, which is going to be pretty grim…
Re: The Warden – That's a pretty general statement. Do you have anything to back it up? I would beg to differ with you that there are more Democrats than Republicans that are racist. C'mon, most of the Republicans are old, white men. Give me a break.
Re: SquirrelLives – This would imply that Republicans who took the poll were honest about their repsonses. Honestly, most Republicans don't even know they are racists. "Some of their good friends are black…"
why is it always WHITE people that are the predjudice ones? I bet you any amount of $ if anyone asked a BLACK person why they are voting for obama, the answer will be " because he's black"..NOT b/c I belive in what he stands for, or I feel he'll do a great job….but b/c he's black….so why doesnt anyone take a look at how equally predjudice the Blacks are??
Re: The Warden –
you are awesome and 100% right! kudos!
Re: shadybaby –
I totally agree.
I tried to make that point but my comments aren't being posted.
I have listened to many call in shows and not one barrack supporter can name one policy they like of his.
Re: WHORE1 –
Did you the the Democrats started the KKK?
Did you know Martin Luther King was a Republican?
Did you know that there has never been as many blacks in high profile positions than with the current administration?
I can't really see him winning, I would be very surprised if he does! and yes race is a part of it, but it's hardly the only factor, his inexperience and leftits associations are a bigger factor!
I think it's funny how, everyone on here who is posting things that are pro-obama, can't spell a single word correctly. Not to mention the horrible grammar. Everyone is forgetting that every single black person in America will be voting for obama, strictly because he is "black". So i'm not so sure that the racism is completely on the white people of America. Although there are racist white people too. And racist mexican people and so on and so forth.
From "Dreams of my Father"
"There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. "A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white"
More racist Obama quotes:
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingtegrating myself to whites,"
"I found solace in a sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race,"
"The other race (White) would always remain just that: Menacing, Alien and Apart,"
"It was into my father's image, the Black man, the son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself,"
"That hate hadn't gone away, blaming white people,"
"My grand mother was a typical white person."
I'm sure the only reason Obama will lose the election is because he is half black. I know that McCain will lose votes because he has a female running mate. There is prejudice against women too… Shut up Perez!
Re: Smirks – Where is your proof? Can you list a newspaper article or direct quote? Please don't make generalizations if you can't back them up with cold hard facts.
Re: njpaul0129 –
Senator Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored 570 bills in the 109th and 110th Congress.
Senator Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored 15 bills that have become LAW since he joined the Senate in 2005.
Senator Obama has also introduced amendments to 50 bills, of which 16 were adopted by the Senate.
His record is in fact quite impressive for a junior Senator from Illinois.
Most of his legislative effort has been in the areas of:
* Energy Efficiency and Climate Change (25 bills)
* Health care (21 bills) and public health (20 bills)
* Consumer protection/labor (14 bills)
* The needs of Veterans and the Armed Forces (13 bills)
* Congressional Ethics and Accountability (12 bills)
* Foreign Policy (10 bills)
* Voting and Elections (9 bills)
* Education (7 bills)
* Hurricane Katrina Relief (6)
* The Environment (5 bills)
* Homeland Security (4 bills)
* Discrimination (4 bills)

Re: Moluver –
I'm taking a statement that came from the article about the poll. Perez didn't post the entire article. DEms, you can't blame this on Republicans. If he loses it will be because of Dems and Independents, not Republicans
This is an excuse to set up the theft of the election. Voting machines can be adjusted 7% without setting off alarm bells. This is just laying the groundwork for another theft of an election by the Republican Party who cannot win without cheating.
Re: ss794- – Dude, anybody can cut and paste text from a document out of context. In what context were those quotes stated? What are they referring to? There's obviously pieces of text that are missing. Why don't you paint the whole picture, not just the one that suits your argument.
Unbelievable. I live in California and until recently, really never realized that extreme racism still truly exists in America. I guess I've been sheltered. Our good friends recently moved to Florida, on the border of Georgia. They said they were totally blown away by the brazen racism. Apparently there are still areas that blacks just won't go because they fear lynching. I've always thought that Americans were past that. Guess not.
This election's not about race, let's not make it. Leave it alone. If people base who they're voting for solely on race or gender they have no business voting.
Re: Notlikely – How can "typical white person" be taken out of context? That is a generalization and therefore racism.
