88% of black people voted for John Kerry. GamTrak, there are social factors that affect people’s votes. It’s a well established trend in electoral studies that african-americans vote democrat.
I’m not disputing that, but on one hand they say blacks vote democrat and other hand they say that blacks don’t bother voting at all. I’d be interested to know of what percentage of the black population does that number represent.
Personally, I don’t pay very much attention to stats (learned that from playing the sunday football tickets) LOL and I also did the US census in 1980. Stas reflect what happened, but does not always provide an accurate picture and they can be manulated.
Many folks of different races can identify with Obama and I believe that is the reason that he will be the first black US Commander and Chief in the next election.
