Yes, we can.

FiveThirtyEight.com raises some concerns about the article. Not so much a refutation as simple concerns (the polling methodology apparently hasn't been released).

Also, since the cell phone issue has come up several times recently in relation to polling, that site also has an article today looking at the differences between polling organizations that do poll cell phones and those that don't.

I hate to say I'm not surprised by the poll, but I would suspect that many Dems who won't vote for Obama based on his race are probably part of the group we used to call the Reagan Democrats: generally blue collar workers (from the NE industrial states) who are socially conservative.

I'm not indicting all social conservatives, but they are a great deal more likely to be racist than people who are either liberal, or middle of the road regarding social issues.
