Who's Racist or Sexist Now

Curious results, or perhaps not so curious, from election polls in Indiana and North Carolina.

For white men in Indiana the number are 58/41 Clinton/Obama, and white women 61/39.

Overwhelmingly, black men and women are supporting Obama 92/8.

Not much difference financially, contrasting the lowest bracket to highest the numbers range from 57/43 to 54/46 in favor of Clinton.

In North Carolina the number are only a little different.

White men in NC are supporting Clinton 54/40 while white women are at 64/32.

Overwhelmingly, black men in NC are supporting Obama 92/6 and black women 91/5

Overall, from state to state, it seems that blacks are overwhelmingly supporting Obama generally at an 85/15 ratio ( this is just a guestimate on my part, as his numbers range from the high 70's to the low 90's). Still, it seems to indicate that race is a major factor in the black vote. An interesting point is that 81% of those polled said race was not important, and while 8% of blacks and whites said race was a factor, only 24% of blacks said it was not, while 54% of whites said it was not.

Some interesting, although possibly somewhat controversial, statistics, although certainly something to get you thinking.
