78% Would Vote For Black Candidate; Less Sure of Friends

Post by *jr »

Source: Rasmussen

Nearly four out of five Americans (78%) polled since Barack Obama clinched enough delegates to be the Democratic nominee say they could vote for an African-American for president, but they think only 61 percent of their family, friends and co-workers are willing to do the same.

......

Only 11 percent say they are not willing to vote for an African-American presidential candidate, with an equal number (11%) not sure.

An area of potential concern for the Obama camapign and one that his chief rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, has hammered at is his ability to attract support from low-income, working-class voters.

The new survey found willingess to vote for an African-American candidate lowest among those who did not graduate from high school (57%), those with high school diplomas only (67%) and indIviduals earning less than $20,000 a year (63%).
