(52,160 posts)but here are the numbers while I track it down. In NC, we don't have a very early primary here so we are not an especially attentive audience, the numbers are 37 favorable, 20 unfavorable, and 43 no opinion among blacks. 43 isn't a majority and your exact words were a majority don't know him, not less than a majority do.

He is down to her 55/19 over all and 68 to 10 among blacks in the same poll.
No it isn't the nation as a whole but I do think it is a reasonable stand in. NC isn't an early primary state, we aren't having ads run in here, we don't have campaign events even in Charlotte which is near the boarder of SC so we are pretty much like any other state in that regard. We also have a good mix of both rural and urban. 57 percent have an opinion of him (ie know who he is) and 43 don't.
