Via Hot Air, here’s the latest poll from SurveyUSA. It’s a head-to-head matchup that shows Obama doing worse against McCain than Hillary would.
But notice the racial breakdown.
According to the poll of 546 registered voters, 73% of Hispanics would vote for McCain (compared to 25% for Obama) if the election were held today. Allahpundit thinks that could well be Obama’s Achilles heel, and I tend to agree.
But now check out the column for Black voters. 50% of African-American voters would choose McCain if the election were today, as opposed to 49% for Obama. McCain leads by 1%+ amongst Black voters…over Obama?
Update: Yes, the poll is only for Massachusetts. Which makes this even stranger, considering Massachusetts has been a reliable Democratic stronghold.
