Poll: Kerry Has Larger Support Among Black Voters
A new poll shows that John Kerry has wider support among black voters than Bush:
Blacks prefer Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry over President Bush by a nearly 4-to-1 margin, though their support for the Democrat is down slightly from the backing Al Gore received in 2000, according to a poll released Tuesday.
Bush didn't get good marks for his handling of the war in Iraq or for his overall job performance, according to the poll of black Americans from the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. The center is a Washington-based research group that focuses on issues concerning blacks.
Not suprisingly, support for Bush was strongest among Christian conservatives and those over 50.
