incredibly efficient to b. turning out exactly where the voters are they need to get and exactly how to get them to the polls. that s fascinating to me. what you are saying is these pollsters may know based on some sort of exit polling? how can they tell if someone is mailing in a ballot early or standing in line early? is it all exit polling and they have access to that data? there are incredibly so he face tis sophisticated data about voters. able to use it not just to figure out who is likely to vote for them. as you early vote some of that becomes record in some states who has already cast a ballot. if we know in september. one of the states is september voting. they may marshall the resources. if you see them pull up states and pull out oof pennsylvania you can say wait a minute the obama campaign knows something about pennsylvania the rest of us don t know. that may be one way to determine how states think they are doing. what s important to keep in mind is that with th
of excitement this community saw in 2008 around barack obama. you know, african-american voters make up about 13% of the total electorate, but the naacp tells us the number of registered voters in this community is down roughly 7% so far this year, so there s right now a very big push to go out and reach that voting base before november. we have new tools that help actually find out who isn t registered and where they live. so we can go by and see them and offer them the opportunity to register and vote, help them understand the new laws and restrictions and be able to vote anyway. reporter: now, take a look at these numbers. according to the fox news opinion dynamics polls, obama currently has about 87% of the vote compared to romney s 7%, but it is down slightly from the 95% he had against john mccain s 4 based on exit polling in 08. now, some analysts say that is because the historic nature of being the first african-american
people who have not to me either gone one way or the other given how partisan the country is at this point, those folks in my opinion are not voting on immigration. they are voting if you look at exit polling. that s not state of the economy. i totally agree. that s who romney is trying to get to. he believe hispanics may not ultimately be reachable in this election. i think that s a short-term calculation because his panics in the long term, they are in trouble. let s go i think, though, if he points out that this is a short-term solution i would come back with a bit of history and say emancipation proclamation was a short solution. he has to start somewhere. let s take a look at a congressman that has a tough primary fight. running against the ben quayle. in a statement he said last week the president decided to grant am nest write and hand out work

about the national picture. i think this is true. this was about gabby giffords and her legacy and as much as the republicans tried to say it was about the future of america and the policies she recast that election and propelled him to victory. what do you make on walker making this argument that, hey, this was a policy split in the state of wisconsin. that s true but was the recall a policy split? or was the recall election did he win because he benefited from some folks that may not have agreed but didn t agree with the idea of recall. it seems to me from the exit polling that most of the voters didn t think the recall was the way to go. you ll have another election in the next couple years. if you don t like scott walker then get rid of him. the voters it seemed to me were saying we don t want outside sources deciding who is going to be the governor. i wonder would we have seen it pop up all of a sudden in other states? and it brings me to what i ve enjoyed with my conver
