    Ron Paul’s inclusive message attracting African American voters

    Ron Paul’s inclusive message of peace, freedom, and prosperity may be attracting African American voters. According to this poll Ron Paul leads his GOP opponents among black voters in [COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]general [/FONT][COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]election[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] contests.

    In general election matches Paul loses among African American voters 60% to 33% against [COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hillary [/FONT][COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Clinton[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] and loses 61% to 31% to [COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Barack [/FONT][COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Obama[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR].

    In 2004 CNN exit polls show Bush receiving 11% of the African American vote in the general election against Kerry.



    The averages of general election match up against either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama are for Paul, Romney, McCain or Giuliani are, Ron Paul - 32%, Mitt Romney - 23.5%, John McCain - 20%, Rudy Giuliani - 16%.

    If the polls are accurate it could mean that Ron Paul’s message that ‘Freedom unites people’ is working. Paul’s uncompromising defense of the Bill of Rights is making him a Civil Rights leader in his own right.

    The poll, if accurate, could also mean that Ron Paul’s message of ‘repealing the [COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=green! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]police[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] state’ is resonating with African American voters.

    Paul does appear to be a uniting political force attracting supporters at his events from all walks of life.

    USA Daily does not encourage its readers to allow polls to influence their voting decisions in any way. They are too often inaccurate. This statement is not a comment on the poll in question just on polling in general. (Discuss the election on www.usadaily.net

    I care about PingPong a little more than I care about you. I think PingPong cares about you too. We're all friends here.

    Well, you are still a darkhorse but you are no longer a fringe candidate.
