Gallup Tracking polls show Romney Up 6 nationwide, most of that coming from a possible fit of "irrational exuberance" in the South. People who may have not gone into a voting booth in all of their lives are suddenly not admitting that to the neighbors, with Obama in office(?)! All the other regions are slightly for Obama. The South is lopsidedly for Romney--suggesting that maybe no blacks live there(?), after all!
CNN Poll: Close contest for Florida’s 29 electoral votes – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
Florida, for example, has actually polled a dead heat among likely voters, with tiny possibly edge to Romney.
Statistically, blacks make up nearly 50% of the population in many Southern States! Mostly, Gallup tracking would seem to dispute that--or at least contend that really they are all in prison(?).
CensusScope -- Demographic Maps: African-American Population
So the CNN/ORC poll finding is likely more credible than even Gallup contends, for the South!
"Pluralistic Ignorance" is a concept based on old Civil Rights. Most people thought that their neighbors in the South were opposed to integration, when polls found overwhelmingly that most people had no problem with the concept at all, in the South. They would often respond to questions like they thought the neighbors might expect them to respond!
"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Then there is the Great Half Wit Father in Washington, of the Ivy League--which did both the "Reagan Revolution," and the "Obama Stimulation(?)," more or less the same way: Sending what deficit there was to the already prosperous, instead! People seem to think that only TARP was a major bail-out of the Euro-Luxury Car Manufacturers, By way of Wall Street(?)!)
