While the overwhelming majority of voters say they could vote for a woman or an African-American, just 56% believe their family, friends, and co-workers would be willing to do the same.

Give people complete anonymity and this is probably pretty close to how the survey would've turned out as well.

[jimfree]

I don’t see a choice on those willing to vote for a white man. I sense that is also not 100 percent.

[JLS]

This is such a dumb survey. One might be surprise who one will vote for given the opposition.

[KC_Conspirator]

Well, I am not willing to vote for either of the two offered this time around - and race and sex have nothing to do with it.

[rocksblues]

Given the choice of Hillary as the First Women POTUS or Obama as the First Black POTUS. I will vote McCain!

I am not stuck on stupid!

[Diogenesis]

Dont believe it.

Harlem's 94th had a 141-0 sweep for Hillary Clinton.

Obama did not get even a single (1) vote.

What do you wanna bet that many of the poll takers (I assume this poll was done via the phone) were black women? Gimme a break....

While the overwhelming majority of voters say they could vote for a woman or an African-American, just 56% believe their family, friends, and co-workers would be willing to do the same.

This sort of second guessing is common in opinion polls.

I thought Ramussen was kind of lame, but by engaging in this kind of race-based polling, I am thinking he is dangerous and lame.

If more than 1 out of 4 are saying they would never vote for a Black Guy, we just helped Sharpon-Jackson-Bonds open new franchises.

Those guys can’t get over the fact they are fighting ghosts. However, these kind of resuls sure seem to favor their claim that mission is far from accomplished.

JMO.

Guess they don’t have any results for how many Americans would vote for a 24 year legislative bureaucrat and career politico, with egomaniacal aspirations.

[Bringbackthedraft]

I’d vote for either, but not for the 2 presented so far.

[SandRat]

71% Willing to Vote for Woman President, 73% for African-American

• Of what?
  
• Registered Voters?
  
• Likely Voters?
  
• Democrats in either of those two groups?
  
• Republicans in those two groups?
  
• How big was the statistal sample?

Oh,.. I get it!

Facts might kill the story.

Suggestion for Rasmussen: Would you vote for a Martian if he/she/it were running against Hillary?

[CindyDawg]

So what does that give McCain? 25%?

[Names Ash Housewares]

I would probably vote for a one-eyed hermaphrodite if they were conservative.!LOL

Couldn't care less about color, sex, or religion, as long as they can win and conservative policy is the end result.

[MarkT]

Be aware of the Bradley effect. Bradley, a black man, was ahead in L.A. by 10%+ two weeks before the election according to the polls - yet, he lost by 10%+. I hate to say it but people lie when they get a cold call asking their opinions - they do not know if someone is just trying to pry information out of them - the vote is what counts, not the poll or even the exit poll.

[Paleo Conservative]

Neither Thomas Sowell nor Margaret Thatcher are running, so I’ll be voting for a white male candidate.

[VR-21]

You can count me amount the majorities of both groups, but I wouldn’t support a leftist regardless of the demographic.

[Always Right]

I am not willing to vote for a black man or a woman for President this election, but it has nothing to do with them being black or a woman.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

The democrats are missing their best bet for POTUS.
Sheila Jackson-Lee should be their nominee.
144 percent would vote for her.:)

[freeangel]

I’m willing and able to vote for the RIGHT woman or black American who might run. None running this time fit the bill.
