Reply #5: It wasn't based on one exit poll [View All]

but poll after poll over time where it has been demonstrated that blacks are vastly more likely to be against gay rights in general, and marriage equality in particular. The results, to the extent they are able to be judged that way, show pretty much the same pattern that the exit polls did. We lost the black vote heavily in California. Was it 70%, maybe yes, maybe no. But it surely was closer to 70% than it was to 50%. The rest of your post I tend to agree with but I think it is unfair to say we relied on one exit poll to judge the vote in California.
