Obviously, the GOP is overwhelmingly white, yet there's still a small segment of black voters who identify as Republicans, and who will vote in the primaries.  What % of them will vote for Cain?

(If you like, you can also predict how Asian Republicans, Latino Republicans, Jewish Republicans, and atheist Republicans will vote.)

Republican exit poll for the 2008 South Carolina primary:



ERROR ! ERROR ! ERROR !

(We'll never know the answer to your question, because the sample size is toooooo small ...)

But if you want, you can take a look at the crosstabs of the InsiderAdvantage polls from SC and FL, which breakd down even this very small sample of Black Republicans.

Btw, Gingrich is winning Black Republicans in the IA poll with 62%. There are 9 of them in the poll.

Cain and Gingrich are tied with NH Black Republicans. There are only 4 of them.

Cain has an absolute majority with SC Black Republicans. There are 14.

Cain is slightly ahead of Gingrich with FL Black Republicans, 35%-31%. There are 25 in the poll.

What if you add all black Republicans from all four states together and calculate the overall %ages?  Cain narrowly ahead of Gingrich?

And does Romney's lack of love from the black GOPers have something to do with Mormonism's uh....."colorful" history with race?

The black Republican vote? Sounds oxymoronic.

I think Cain is the only black Republican, so I'd assume 100%.

Je suis un oxymoron.

What percentage of the electorate in the GOP primary/caucus do black Republicans make up?  South Carolina exit poll posted above says 2%.  I don't know if it would matter that much unless it is a very close result

Of course it doesn't "matter".  I just think it's an interesting question.

Presumably a black Republican does not necessarily bloc vote for black people... Tongue

I just looked at Inisder Advantage's (not a very good pollster, but all we have in this case) IA/NH/SC/FL polls, and added up all the responses from likely GOP primary voters who are black from all four states and combined them, with my own re-weighting.  From all four states combined, their polls only have 52 responses from black GOP primary voters (nearly half of them in Florida).  What I came up with was this:

Cain 36%
Gingrich 29%
Romney 15%
Paul 11%
Bachmann 4%
everyone else 0%
undecided 5%

MOE is enormous, because there are only 52 respondents here.
