This poll seems not so accurate.
Blacks
40% Obama,
57.5% Romney?
Age
41% 30-49,
29.5% 50-64
14.8% 18-29
14.7% 65+
40% Obama job approval?
Seriously? You want "unskew" this one. No way Romney gets 60% of the black vote. Voters above age 50 are most likely to vote. Those over 65 vote more than any other age group. Obama's approval rating nationally was 54% (per Gallup) on Thursday.
Not buying it.

The pattern is striking, not in the polls, but in your posts. One theme hammered home.

This poll has Romney getting 60% of the African American vote. In other words, its bullshit.
