Black racism shows in latest poll

Gallup:

In an election year in which race is front and center, American blacks have grown more negative toward Hillary Clinton, with her favorable image sinking from 84% to 58% over the last year, while blacks' favorable opinions of Barack Obama have soared from 68% to 86%. Blacks have also become more negative toward John McCain.

...

Clinton can perhaps take some comfort in the fact that the presumptive Republican nominee, McCain, has also seen his image become more negative in the eyes of black Americans over the last year. In June 2007, McCain's image among blacks was 26% favorable and 33% unfavorable, with 41% saying they either didn't have an opinion or had never heard of McCain. Now, as he has become better known, blacks' opinions of McCain have moved decidedly into the negative column: 58% are now unfavorable, while 27% are favorable.

...

I think this is a reflection of black racism. There is no reason for McCain's negatives to soar, beyond the fact that his opponent is black. The emotional immaturity reflected in this poll is striking. It is not just that they are going with a tribal affinity, it is that they have developed negative attitudes toward anyone who opposes their guy.

For me, I oppose Obama because he is wrong on the war, taxes and energy. I think his negatives might have gone up too because of his "friends" he apparently did not "know" well for two decades.
