Early last week NBC/WSJ published a poll for the upcoming election. However accurate the overall numbers may have been – and several seem awfully questionable – one set of figures immediately stood out as highly suspect:

Obama continues to lead Romney among key parts of his political base, including African Americans (94 percent to 0 percent), Latinos (by a 2-to-1 margin), voters under 35-years-old (52 percent to 41 percent) and women (51 percent to 41 percent).

 
Yeah, it’s that 0% thing. Zero%?! Seriously?
 
Twitter immediately begged to differ with that silliness, with #blackconservativesforRomney quickly trending. Most tweeters were more bemused than angry or shocked. Twitter conservatives are used to the msm’s reality-free zone and their pre-drawn conclusions ~
 

 
You’ve really got to wonder, who exactly did the pollsters contact? Registered Democrats only? Al Sharpton fans? Maxine Water’s supporters?
 
They sure didn’t ask anyone like Thomas Sowell, Star Parker, Rep. Allen West or the National Black Republican Association.
 
They’re also missing a large segment of the African American Christian community, many of whom are no fans of President Obama’s recent “evolution” on same-sex marriage.

At a July press conference, William Owens, president of the Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP), had this message for Obama:

“Mr. President, I’m not going to stand with you, and there are thousands of others across this country that are not going to stand with you with this foolishness.”

 
The NBC/WSJ pollsters are also ignoring people like Rev. C.L. Bryant who energized a crowd with his speech at FreePac last month: Rev. C.L. Bryant on Converting to Conservatism: ‘As a Black American, You’d Be Nuts Not to Be a Republican.’ Rev. Bryant is the man behind Runaway Slave:
 

 
A recent caller to the Mark Levin Show, a black woman, laughing told Mark how she and her friends “lie, lie, lie” to pollsters when they call. She really got a kick out of playing along with the assumption that all blacks automatically voted Democrat.
 
Maybe some of that harmless but gratifying subterfuge accounts for the NBC/WSJ poll results. Guess we’ll find out for sure in November.
