The lone black passenger of the Titanic and his family adds another interesting facet to the story of the historic, ill fated cruise.

A new poll was released this week in Indiana, showing Mitt Romney ahead of Barack Obama 49% to 40%. This is excellent news for the Obama campaign. Let me explain.

Here is a link to an essay Pat Buchanan wrote about black America. He wrote it several months ago. But I kid you not, it is now actually posted on the website of David Duke!

Yes, a primary political commentator for NBC news (MSNBC) has written something so appealing to racists that David Duke is featuring it online.

If a political commentator from FOX News had authored articles that were appearing on David Duke's site, the liberal online coummunity would be going crazy!

Here's the link. The essay was posted on 2/7/09.

Obama OVER-PERFORMED in every battle-ground state based on the "RealClearPolitics" poll average for each contest.

In several states he outpaced the polling average by a wide margin and he won Indiana and potentially North Carolina despite trailing in state polling. The Bradley effect is dead!

Take a look at the results.

Real Clear Politics has what it calls the "RCP" average for predict election results. It takes the last 5 polls and averages them together to get a consensus or predicted outcome.

This system is used frequently on Cable News and is often called the "poll of polls."

Below is a look at the RCP "polls of polls" margin of victory prediction and the actual results.

The results are from Primary states. Caucus states are not included so that we can have (as much as possible) an "apples to apples" comparison to the polling data for Pennsylvania.

There are no available "RCP Poll of Poll averages" for Primaries held in several states including Delaware, Mississippi, Vermont and Oklahoma. This was probably due to the lack of available polling completed for those states.

This left Real Clear Politics "polls of polls" available for 19 primary contests.

I separated the RCP results into the following categories.

This is an Obama commerical on the internet. I think it's great. It really "hits home" as to why so many people support his campaign.

Survey USA has produced polling for 14 concluded Democratic Primaries.

Below are the results of the last poll they conducted before each primary date.The actual primary results for each state follows the polling number.

This will make it easier to asses the accuracy of Survey USA in wake of their most recent Pennsylvania polling results.

Which Polls Are Most Accurate?

Many of our thoughts on the upcoming races are based on polling numbers. With this in mind I went back and looked at the last several contests to compare polling numbers to the final results. I used reliable polling information from contests conducted "post" Super Tuesday. This is because I assumed polling information would be more accurate once certain demographic and voter turnout patterns were established.

The polling numbers are from popular pollsters such as Rasmussen, Survey USA, etc. In each case the numbers represent the last polls conducted before voting. The polling numbers are from pollister.com. The actual result percentages are from the New York Times.
