Nathan Group Polls Black Voters
To Get A More Accurate Picture , *
“When whites want to know what
whites think, they run a poll. When
they want to know what blacks think,
they ask Jesse Jackson. Jackson may
be a savvy politician, but he can no
more speak for all blacks than David
I Duke can speak for all Whites,” said
Bethel Nathan, senior vice president
of the Nathan Group, on the recent
release of a nationwide poll of black
voters.
The survey’s purpose was to
evaluate black attitudes and percep
tions on a variety of political issues.
The methods used in the survey
adhere to the same professional stan
dards applied throughout the polling
industry. However, to achieve ac
curate data from the black communi
ty, techniques sensitive to blacks
were developed to supplement the
standard form of polling.
A total of 1,038 surveys from
registered black voters were used to
achieve an accurate rate of plus or
minus 3.0S percent.
The poll reveals a fascinating por
trait of black voters in America.
Contrary to popular belief, blacks
do not necessarily see themselves as

downtrodden. The voters surveyed^
were evenly divided on the issue of
their economic condition/ Forty
seven percent said they are better off
economically today than they were
five years ago. Forty-eight percent
said they were worse off.
Jesse Jackson must regroup if he
plans to run for president in 1992. For
ty percent of black voters surveyed
said Jackson “should ndt run” for
president in 1992. .
Although 54 percnt of the
respondents said Jackson “should
run,” the percentage signals a signifi
cant Change of heart for black voters.
In a JCPS/Gallup survey in August
1986, 69 percent of black voters ap
proved of Jackson’s candidacy in
1968.
Contrary to what some polls assert,
this poll shows black voters as
critical of President Bush’s job per
formance (only 23 percent of
respondents gave Bush a favorable
job performance rating). However,
when compared with Reagan’s black
approval rating of eight percent after
four years of office, Bush’s 23 percent
after only one year in office looks
positive. Black females were slightly
more positive about President Bush
than were black males.
The poll shows a majority of black
voters are pro-choice on the issue of
abortion. Seventy-three percent of
those surveys^ agreed that a woman
should have a right to have an abor
tion.
Black and white politicians will
have to build platforms of issues
other than civil rights if they want to
gain the support of black American
voters. $eventy-eight percent of

When asked to name the three most
important things a politician should
spend his time working on, those
surveyed named jobs/unemployment
first, followed by education, and
drugs.
Nathan said of the poll results,
“The implication is that today’s black
voter is more concerned with what I
call economic enfranchisement. The
political candidate who comes for
ward to show black Americans bow to
work within the system to realize the
dream of economic enfranchisement
will be the new “black leader,’’
whether he is black or white,
Democrat or Republican.”
