Democratic Racism May Hurt Obama, AP Poll Shows
September 21 - 12:23 PM
A recent Associated Press poll has turned up a significant portion of white Democrats apparently opposed to Barack Obama's candidacy for president on racial grounds.
The poll indicated as many as 1/3 of white Democrats may not want a black president, and that 30% of white Democrats could vote for Republican nominee John McCain. Since a lot of people will not openly call themselves racists, the poll instead asked racially-oriented social questions of those being polled, and used the results to draw inferences.
The indication was that Obama might have at least six points more of a lead (or subtracted from a lag) if he were white. However, the poll did not address the likelihood that if Obama were white, he could never have beaten Senator Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries in the first place.
Another difficulty with the poll is that it is a nationwide result and does not show the potential impact in individual states, where the electoral votes are decided.
