Very few polls are large enough that their black sample size is significant.  Besides, unless regionality is provided, it is fundamentally useless.

Point is, we know nothing new from these polls.

Yes, and a 2-11% support would hardly be a "free-fall."  I believe the only places Kerry received less than 80 percent of the black vote according to exit polls were Oklahoma and Washington state, and he received 88% nationally.

I know the state exit polls shouldn't be trusted, but the national had a solid enough sample.
