How credible is their 18 percent figure? Not very, in my view. Cornell Belcher, a pollster who focuses on African-Americans, said his surveys in battleground states showed Bush in single digits. Nationally, Belcher said, he has found only 10 percent of blacks approve even "somewhat" of Mr. Bush's job performance, while 89 percent say the country is headed in the wrong direction. The overwhelming evidence from public polls is that Bush's support among blacks is running very close to where it was in 2000 and not even in shouting distance of the Joint Center's 18 percent figure. Consider: 1. A July poll of black RVs by BET/CBS News had Bush's support at 10 percent. 2. Bush's black support in the last week of WP/ABC tracking polls has been averaging 9 percent. 3. Bush's average black support in the last four Pew polls has been 9 percent. 4. Bush's average black support in the last week of national Zogby tracking polls has been 8 percent. 5. Bush's support among black RVs averaged only 7 percent in three October Gallup polls. Sounds like Bush can expect his black support in 2004 to closely resemble his black support in 2000. emergingdemocraticmajorityweblog.com
