*It’s now official…at least according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Among black voters, President Barack Obama is beating his Republican opponent Mitt Romney by 94 percent to 0 percent.

This, even after Romney addressed the NAACP in July to try and make his case among African Americans.
“With 90 percent of African Americans voting for Democrats, some of you may wonder why a Republican would bother to campaign in the African-American community, and to address the NAACP,” Romney said to the audience. “Of course, one reason is that I hope to represent all Americans, of every race, creed or sexual orientation, from the poorest to the richest and everyone in between.”
Although Romney was greeted with polite applause, he was booed soundly when he said he would repeal president Obama’s healthcare law.
Romney is also losing in the poll among Latinos, nearly 2 to 1, and the poll has President Obama ahead among all registered voters, 48 percent to Romney’s 44 percent.
Meanwhile, the poll also shows the president pulling in around 40 percent of white voters, which would be a historic low for a winning candidate if he’s re-elected in November, reports The Huffington Post. (No Democrat has won the white vote since 1964, the year President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law.)
A report released in July found that President Obama would need to improve upon his record 2008 showing with black voters or he would struggle mightily in several key states that remain up for grabs.
“This, even after Romney addressed the NAACP in July to try and make his case among African Americans.”
Actually, this is where he Effed up most.
Mel, I TOTALLY agree!
Folks got a good look at his azz bigtime. You know it’s bad any time a candidate has to bus in ‘paid’ Black supporters to applaud his drivel. “Guess they want free stuff” comment epitomized his inhumanity IMO and sealed the deal with a good number of people obviously. Also, his lap dog running mate is rather scary.
If Hurricane Isaac wreaks havoc on the upcoming Rethug convention that’ll surely take the wind outta their sail.
This should actually jar the senses of black folk. But it won’t.
We support the “man” by 94% even though we are operating at a historic deficit.
It goes to show you how fkd up black folks’ priorities are.
You might just find out Black folks’ priorities aren’t that fcked up after all if the Cyborg wins and gets his way.
Well sure, then we’re start complaining and expecting him as POTUS do something for us and cater specifically to our needs.
So yeah, you’re right.
Only if we implored the same approach now.
musbdherbs; Just think of it as the lesser of two evils if that makes you FEEL BETTER….
This election is not about Black vs White or any other culture. It’s about the haves & have nots, we are in a Class War, and that’s the bottom line…. I
If Black folk think things are Bad now, just let Olde Mitty get his azz in office… If you are poor or middle class in the country you will be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. And Baby you can count on that happening like the Sun rising in the east & setting in the west!!!!
Just think of it as the lesser of two evils if that makes you FEEL BETTER
No it doesn’t. Worse actually.
We’re in a class war started by politicians..in this case, Barack Obama.
And also no, I don’t buy your “scare” tactic. There does need to be some purging of our social services rolls. The poor/middle class fared badly under Bush..and are even worse under Obama. Yet, you think it will get worse if Obama’s not reelected? That illogical.
You are more ignoant & naive that I though if you think that Barack is the one who started this class war that we are now facing, What Barack’s election to president did was to snatch the covers off the situation….. This struggle started way back when Ronnie was elected in the eighties…. Although you were probably born in that decade or slightly before then….
I’m not selling “scare tactics” you foolish child, & as far as for the “purging of our social services rolls” When Corporate America, the richest 1% of this country stop getting their welfare & are “purged from these rolls”, then we can talk about everyone else!!!!
Tricks aren’t just for Kidds these days…..
Oh dear, look who has an obvious revised version of history.
The Obama campaign made the election into an “us” vs/ “them” thing. In fact, there current strategy is to show that Romney is for “them” and he’s for “us.” If Baracks election had “snatched the covers” as you suggest, how does that explain that in 2008, he was the candidate of Wall Street? How does that explain how the whole idea of limiting executive pay was squashed because he didn’t support it? How does that explain how, under THIS democrat president, Wall Street has raked in record profits.
Corporate American will stop getting their welfare when a POTUS/Congress stops giving it to them. It’s just that simple.
I’m gonna need you to tidy up your talking points because you’re gonna fail each and every time battling me w/an absence of information.
And then people think the voter ID thing is to pre-emptively battle voter fraud. No, moreso to keep anyone who’s not in the Republicans’ constituency HOME on Election Day.
Romney does not need the black vote in order to become president anyway.
He may not need the Black vote to win, but he damn sure needs the Latino vote. He can’t win this election just based on the white vote…..
McCain did not need the Black vote in order to become president either. Right? these posters understand women are repulsed by Mitt and he needs more than white men to win.

Obama’s Lead Among Women In Swing States Is Absolutely Staggering

Well, since the Republican insist on rolling back all sorts of women’s rights, the question is why any women would vote for them

The current electoral map backs up this article. Obama has held a solid lead in the electoral map this entire election cycle. Romney cannot mathematically win the swing states he needs without increasing his percentages with women, latinos and blacks. It is mathematically impossible for him to win the swing states with only the white male vote. Yet he hasn’t made any inroads with these minority groups, probably due to the far right in the Republican party constatntly talking about banning abortion and limiting access to birth control. Romney’s silence on pushing back against the far right crazies in his party is deafening.
In addition, the heated far right rhetoric during the republican primaries only further alientated latinos and blacks from the republican party.
Romney’s best hope is that these groups stay home on election day. If they do, he can win. If on the other hand they come out to vote this November, he mathematically cannot win. Even Karl Rove and Haley Barbour have discussed the electoral map on Fox and have stated similar narratives.
Tell the Truth and Shame the Devils MelodyCool!!!!
Poor and Middle class Whites are so focus on the Racial thing that they don’t realize they are in the same boat without a paddle as we are…..
The only drifference is that they just get a cold, while we catch pneumonia. They are just Stuck on Stupid, & so afraid that we might get something that they think they are entitle to because of the color of their skins….
Reminds me of an old Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes song ” Wake Up Everybody”
So you think this is a race to the bottom? That doesn’t make any sense.

I predict Romney will get between 10% and 13% of the Black vote.————————————————————- Like I said before aint enough Uncle Tom’s like u running around.
Oh and I got your sambo,you are so LAME calling someone sambo,
I said and I meant it.
Y’all need to get used to the idea of president Romney. Based on the polls, there’s no way that Obama can win. To combat voter ID and the usual slew of fraud perpetuated by the Republicans, Obama will need a ten point lead in the polls.
Reds; It aint over until the FAT LADY SINGS…. You should never believe what the Media says about the polls…. That’s the same BS they said in the first election….. Its not up to the Repugnicants, it’s up to the People and GOD almighty. Barack’s first election should have taught that lesson….
musbdhers & Reds don’t bother with a response ” I’m Out”
Reds my friend. Will you be here available for posting after the election?
@ Reds can you explain how you are so anti Obama,YET you were on here defending that fool
Chad Johnson
There is nothing to explain. I’m not anti-Obama and Chad was railroaded.
Even Ray Charles could see that.
In case you weren’t paying attention, Gore won Florida outright but it was stolen by massive fraud perpetuated by Jeb Bush, the Republicans and the Supreme Court. Two independent probes also showed that Gore had a nearly three-to-one majority among voters whose ballot papers were discounted because they contained more than one punched hole. If the votes in Florida had been counted by non-partisan election officials in compliance with the law, Gore would have won Florida.
Kerry would have also won Ohio if Karl Rove didn’t have his IT guru set up a man-in-the-middle computer to switch votes.
The only thing that saved Obama’s ass the last time was the overwhelming support. Most of it due to the last minute collapse of the economy. Unless he can get that support this time, the Republican electoral fraud machinery will eat him alive. And we ain’t even talking about voter ID, yet.
You ….buuuuuullshyttin!!??? (said like Earthquake!)
Ps…..”polls”?, are like “Nielsen ratings”! Only for or include the..”White” perspective. Now what “I” wanna see eeaah?, the “poll” they NEVVA seem to “get around to” that reflects how many Whites “LIKE”…POTUS!!! Umm…notice how “that” shyt never comes up!?? But!?, I digress. I predict?, a WHOLE lotta Whites are gonna shock tha shyt outta YT and vote for/re elect.. Obie! See….”they” ain’t racist, insecure OR….stuck ‘on stupid!. Chuuuuuuch!
They have their own agendas already laid out for Willard:

Grover Norquist – Romney Will Do As He’s Told
At the conservative “Defending the American Dream Summit” in Washington, Grover Norquist, the Republican tax-cut Svengali said about Mitt Romney:
“All we have to do is replace Obama. … We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don’t need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go…. We just need a president to sign this stuff….Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States…. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.”
