States where polls should be questioned.

Why? Because every poll I have seen has Obama performing WORSE among the black community than John Kerry in 2004. It does not make sense and I do not believe this to be the case. If Obama is within 1-2 points of McCain in any of these polls on November 4th, the black vote will be the difference between victory and defeat.

So don't buy the polls coming from these states, they tend to over represent McCain's black support. And while I have no doubt McCain will gain some support from the black community, also remember Bush was actually well liked among social conservative blacks and I don't see how it's possible McCain does better this time around.
