Surprising and contradictory results in the Joint Center’s 2004 National Opinion Poll – Politics show African Americans doubling their support for President George W.

The poll of 1,642 adults (including 850 African Americans) also covered campaign issues, including gay marriage, health care and terrorism, as well as party loyalty.
