Roper Survey
Shows Negro
Vote Power

New York The Negro vote
is perfectly capable of swinging
the 1852 presidential election in
either direction, and the position
Of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie ON political matters Is held
is respect by at least forty-five
per cent Of Negroes-these were
the most noteworthy points
stressed by Elmo Roper, noted
public opinion analyst. in his
regular Sunday afternoon broad
cast last week over the facilities
of the National Broadcasting
Company.
Probably no other group in
America is as conscious of a
single issue, and votes according
to that single issue, as the Ne
groes do on discrimination and
civil rights" Roper stated. En-
phasizing that the margin Of
votes among Negroes in the eight
largest states of the North for
the pro-civil rights candidate in
the last election far exceeded the
margin by which he was elected,
Roper said: This means that the
Negro vote in the North can, in
deed. be a marginal difference
between victory and defeat for
one party or the other IL is a
fact and not a myth that the Ne
gro vote can swing 1t either way"
NAACP Leads Negro Opinion
OF organizations whose opin-
ions hold weight with Negro
voters, Roper reported, far and
away the most frequently men,
toned organizations is the MA
ACP. I'm fact" he stated, ut is
evident that there are more
Negroes who think of the NAACP
as a source Of at least potentially
good advice on politics than act
ually -. come out to vote on
election day."
IF the IS per cent of the Ne
groes who named the NAACP
can be taken as a rough gauge of
the size and extent of the protest
movement among our largest
minority" Roper said, a. the
protest sentiment has not yet
been fully converted into a pro-
test at the polls. One explanation
Of this might be that Negroes
have never been entirely organic
ed In politics up to now. Another
explanation is that in the South
there are still a good many
psychological barriers against
Negro voting. And in the North,
where there is a steady stream
Of arrivals from the South there
is a question of residence re-
quirements before Negroes
can qualify to vote"
The public opinion analyst con-
cluded by asserting that the Ne
gro community cannot be ig-
nored by the professional pollti-
clans who must take responsible
ity for engineering victory or de-
feat" and that 1T is almost inn
possible for a candidate TO
straddle the civil rights issue"
