According to the exit polls, Nader got 1% of the black vote, the lowest of any racial/ethnic category. He got 3% of the white and Asian vote, 2% of the Hispanic, and 4% of the "other." See <http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2000/results/index.epolls.html>.

Also, check this out. Amazing class skew to the electorate - 27% "upper middle class," with another 4% "upper class."

Vote by Class All Gore Bush Buchan Nader Upper Class 4 % 56 % 39 % 0 % 3 % Upper-Middle 27 % 43 % 54 % 0 % 3 % Middle Class 46 % 48 % 49 % 0 % 2 % Working Class 18 % 51 % 46 % 0 % 3 % Lower Class 2 % 0 % 0 % 0 % 0 %
