You gotta love these "Blacks are mad at Obama" posts. Yes, black people are very vocal about their political opinions but believe me, they will not be voting for Romney. It aint gonna happen.

And before the neo-cons get all carried away (as they so easily do ), a few facts have been omitted in this "news".
First, PPP offered a sort of disclaimer to its own results: “One caveat with Romney's lead on this poll is that it finds Obama winning the black vote by only a 76/20 margin. That seems like an unrealistically low share of African American voters for Obama.”
Second, this "stunning loss" is all based on a "sample" of 200 black voters....!

Staying home is about the same as voting Romney, pick your poison. I do agree though I'm skeptical about this poll showing some weakness in Obama's support among Blacks.

How many people would like them to ask 40 million? That's what polls are about asking the opinions of a random group of people.

Yeah, but with a candidate as weak as Mitt, the neo-cons will continue to grasp at straws and jump on these kinda fantasies anyway, no matter how flimsy the "evidence". Especially if it combines three of their favorite obsessions.... "magical thinking", hatred for Obama, and paranoia over Black folks!

They may not -- just as they wouldn't vote for Alan Keyes or Herman Cain. They are a voting bloc that can definitely be taken for granted.
The only thing that could happen is that especially unemployed blacks and blacks worried about their children's futures might not feel like wasting their time to get to the voting booths when Obama has done absolutely nothing of benefit to Americans.
Of course the giddy enthusiam of illegals might make up the difference.

If that's true -- it won't be that more blacks are voting for Romney -- the black vote simply isn't negotiable, 90% of blacks will vote for a democrat no matter what. Or they won't vote at all.
The black vote is solid monolith -- no question about it. That's why Obama isn't even making promises to get their vote - he can safely assume he gets the vast majority of the black vote. He might be wrong in assuming they're all going to bother getting out to vote. It would be difficult to see how the enthusiasm would still be there. Unemployment is just too be a problem and Obama is giving what few jobs there are to the illegals.

Those 800 thousand work permits for Dream Act people may just make enough Blacks mad so they WON'T vote for Obama.
