Party affiliation is the biggest factor in my opinion, followed by the issues, followed by things like likability and being a good family man and being a good model, etc. However I think being black helps Obama among black to voters to some extent. I wonder does race identification among the 14% of black voters specifically considering the historical significance of being the first black pouts where like many city mayors wouldn't matter in terms to breaking new ground in racial equality going forward, is greater or lesser than the impact of 86% of non-black voters some of whom (hopefully few) will vote AGINST him because of race.
