Zero: The percentage of support for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney among African-American potential voters, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
"The numbers came from a statistically significant sample of more than 100 African-American voters out of 1,000 total voters in the poll," NBC News senior political editor Mark Murray told Lean Forward. "Given the sample size of these African-American respondents, the margin of error is well within the 95 percent-5 percent split with which Obama won this group in 2008. "
In other words, none of the roughly 110 black respondents to this poll said they would support Romney. The poll should not be taken to mean that Romney has no African American supporters at all. However, at the very most, he has far fewer than Obama. (SOURCE)

What about Haitian-Americans? I think he did gain support while he was governor. Perhaps he has lost it in his turn to the right to appeal to a national audience.
Not particularly surprising but hardly helps Romney in states like FL, MI, and VA which have large African American populations and are up for grabs.
