Excuse me, the title is wrong: I meant New Hampshire.

Sorry if this has been discussed, etc.

We get 22 percent among the 27 black Republicans polled, more than any other candidate:

This is by far the best I've seen him do in any demographic (except for people who show up at straw polls and people who vote on internet polls). Sadly, black Republicans are as numerous as... something that's not particularly common.

I've seen some promising numbers coming from Insider Advantage. Unfortunately, I've never heard of them and have no idea if they're a credible polling agency. And isn't that a New Hampshire poll?

They were credible enough to get posted on RCP, which is what everybody else references to for polls.

this is probably due to black Republican debate performance

how do they determine the number of each age demographic to poll? they only polled 39 18-29 year olds whereas they polled 488 45-64 year olds. does that age group really have 6 times the voting rate?

Sadly, this isn't even hyperbole. NH is about 97% white.

And only 1% is black, according to Wikipedia. So if we assume that 20% of them are republicans, and half of them vote in the primary, and 22% of them support Paul, that gives us... 272 votes for Paul.

How the heck can Romney come in second place?

His church didn't even begin to allow blacks in until 1976.

And their religious text claims that they are black because of sins they have committed - same with Indians *
