WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) has doubled his support among blacks in four years and Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites)'s backing among the key Democratic voting bloc is down slightly from the support Al Gore (news - web sites) won in 2000, according to a poll released Tuesday.

The Democratic presidential nominee holds a nearly 4-to-1 margin over Bush in the poll by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, a Washington-based research group that focuses on issues concerning blacks.

Bush got low marks for his handling of the war in Iraq (news - web sites) and his overall job performance. The Republican incumbent did gain more support than in 2000 from those age 50 and older and those who consider themselves Christian conservatives.

That helped the president narrow the still sizable gap with Kerry among blacks, who preferred the four-term Massachusetts senator over Bush, 69 percent to 18 percent. The group's poll before the 2000 election found Gore with a 74 percent to 9 percent lead over Bush.

Polls differ on the level of support for Bush among blacks. An Associated Press-Ipsos poll in mid-September found that 80 percent of registered black voters backed Kerry while 7 percent supported Bush.

Exit polls in 2000 showed Gore winning 90 percent of the black vote, with Bush at 9 percent — the lowest support for a Republican presidential candidate since Barry Goldwater garnered 6 percent in 1964.

Michael Whouley, general election manager for the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites), said internal polling didn't reflect the Joint Center's results. "I think on Election Day you will see record numbers (of black voters) go to the polls and vote for John Kerry," he said.

The Joint Center poll of 1,642 adults was conducted Sept. 15-Oct. 10, four days before the third and final presidential debate, and had a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

The survey included two samples — a general population sample of 850 adults and one of 850 blacks. There were 58 black respondents whose answers were part of both samples.

While Kerry hopes to counter any erosion in support among blacks, he also needs a large turnout among black Democrats to win battleground states such as Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The poll found Kerry receiving as much or more support than Gore among those age 18 to 25, those with less than a high school diploma and those making $60,000 or less.

But Kerry had 49 percent support from black Christian conservatives, down from the 69 percent Gore enjoyed in 2000. Bush was at 36 percent among the group this year, more than tripling the 11 percent he got four years ago.

Republican officials say they are making an effort this year to reach out to the black community. Campaign aides have cited Bush's support of school vouchers, public money that can be used to help pay private school tuition, and support of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage as issues that might win him more black votes.

About 48 percent of blacks surveyed supported vouchers, the same percentage as in the general population, according to the Joint Center poll. About 46 percent of blacks said there should be no recognition of a gay couple's relationship, compared with 37 percent for the population overall.

If I was black I would vote for him, does that count

That's not good. If that group simply sits home, Kerry won't win.

How fucked up does a Dem have to be that BLACKS, who support a KLANSMAN in the Senate, won't vote for him?

In lieu of some thoroughly thought out response, I'll just say:

Actually the end results on election day will show George Bush getting 15% of the black-vote and John Kerry will get 92% of the black vote.

For all of you nay-sayers about the effect on the Kerry campaign...learn this about American politics if you learn NOTHING else:

The Democrats COUNT on virtually 100% of all of the "victim" groups that the Democratic Party created and sustains. African Americans lead as a voting bloc in that group.

IF Monsieur Kerry loses just a very few percentage points of the black vote, he is done, you can stick a fork in him. The voters need not vote FOR Bush...but that would be sweet...they need only to stay home. NOT voting is still a disaster for Kerry.

This is GOOD news for America!

Maybe because the site owner is a dedicated anti-Bush liberal who is un-objectively hand-picking the polls/poll numbers which best support his cause?...

As Hiram has repeatedly shown, that is precisely the reason.

It's getting to the point that electoral-vote.com is becoming more of a barometer of how desperate the Left is than a measure of the political climate. The more they fudge the numbers, the LESS confident they show themselves to be.

Hee-hee!

It's not about the popular vote, its about the electoral

when the popular vote is seperated by more than 2 or 3 points, it's a safe indicator of who will win the EV. which btw President Bush has had a consistent lead in for several months.
