"There is also a huge racial split in the figures. Fenty hauled in a 42-point lead among whites, while Gray holds a 38-point lead among African-Americans. When it comes to favorability, the split is even more telling: 70/39 of African-Americans/whites find Gray favorable, while the same split for Fenty is 33/63."
