From the Politico:
“We know that biracial elections have been difficult for pollsters,” says Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center. “Race continues to be an issue for Obama, and to the extent race is an issue, race will be an issue in polling.”
The phenomenon, known in the trade as “social desirability bias,” draws its name from Tom Bradley, the former black mayor of Los Angel
