"According to the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll President Bush's national approval rating has declined to 39 percent, the lowest level during his Presidency. And among African-Americans, Bush has only a 2 percent approval rating, proving that African-Americans are not fooled by Republican's hollow apologies and empty rhetoric on outreach to the African-American community."

Dammit, if only there were a few million more black voters we could have had a decent president back there.

Does anyone know the stats on what percentage of the eligible black community actually votes?

Does anyone know the stats on what percentage of the eligible black community actually votes?

In 2004, 122,293,332 people voted, 12% of whom were Black (14,675,200 -- 4.4 million higher than usual).

The U.S. has about 278,400,000 citizens, 12% of whom are Black (33,408,000) which means about 57% of Blacks voted.

For some reason that seems awful high, but that's what it looks like to me. I don't have stats on eligible Black voters, so I can't specifically answer your question.
