95%. That's an improvement over the 89% that Kerry got. Gore got 90%.

I, too, heard the four percent figure on CNN, which also reported that 10% had voted Bush in 2000, and between 8% and 9% in 2004.

@Setanta,
Bush did not get 10% of the black vote in 2000.

Gore got slightly over 90%, so the erroneous assumption started that Bush got the remaining 10%.

In fact, as I recall, Gore got slightly over 90%, Bush got 6% and Nader got 3%.

PS: Just checked engineer's CNN link. Although the exit polls CNN used did indeed indicate Bush got close to 10% of the African American vote in 2000, other polls at the time indicated otherwise.

@Blickers,
You'll note that i cited CNN as the reference. If you have a problem with the figures, if you want to dispute them, contact CNN. I've no interest in what you allege.
