Obama now has a 23% lead in North Carolina. Not too surprisingly, the black community is increasingly unimpressed with the Clinton campaign.
Obama leads 86% to 9% among African-American voters. Clinton holds a 47% to 38% advantage among white voters in the Tar Heel State. A month ago, Obama led by fifty-three points among African-Americans while Clinton led by twenty points among White voters.
A 77% lead within the black community, up from a 53% lead last month? Maybe Harold Ickes should keep up his pitch to superdelegates that Obama can’t win because he’s black like Jesse Jackson and goes to a black church. It seems to be doing wonders in the superdelegate count and the polls.
