Did the poll pit it against the Republican party (implicitly or explicitly)?  
Or vs. an independent black-led, black-oriented "Liberation Party"?  I'd like 
to see the numbers on _that_ one.  And I suspect the negatives from whites 
show mostly Republicans, not so much those who don't think the Democrats are 
left enough.
