NBC/WSJ Poll: Obama Leads Romney w/ African-Americans 94% - 0% (Yeah, ZERO %)

Looking inside the numbers, Obama continues to lead Romney among key parts of his political base, including African Americans (94 percent to 0 percent), Latinos (by a 2-to-1 margin), voters under 35-years-old (52 percent to 41 percent) and women (51 percent to 41 percent).
Romney is ahead with whites (53 percent to 40 percent), rural voters (47 percent to 38 percent) and seniors (49 percent to 41 percent.

Zero.

For historical reference, George W. Bush received 11% of the black vote in 2004.

Maybe this didn't go over so well

And some still wonder why the GOP is so fanatical in pushing Voter ID, shortening early voting hours in black neighborhoods.

with the fact that African Americans are actually full citizens now since that no-good Lyndon Johnson let them out of their "place." That Scary Negro in the WH is an alien being in the eyes of many.
