BUMPDATE:
It turns out that this is all bullshit, which is obvious in the article. I admit I never read the article, because I heard about the original 2% reported on the radio.

This latest poll included
807 people nationwide, and only 89 blacks. As a result, there is a considerable margin or error -- and the findings should not be considered definitive until or unless they are validated by other polls.
David Bositis, a senior political analyst at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, which tracks African American public opinion, told me this morning that it's clear that Bush's job approval among blacks "has taken a hit from both the ongoing things in Iraq and what happened with Katrina."
But down to 2 percent? "I doubt that it's actually 2," he said.
"But would I be surprised if it's 10 or 12? No." And 10, he said, is typically "about as low as you can go" when it comes to approval ratings.The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll, released September 13, about two weeks after Katrina hit, found Bush's job approval among blacks at 14 percent, compared to 42 percent among the general population. Exit polls showed that 11 percent of black voters voted for Bush in November 2004.
[Late Update: The Pew Research Center is just out with its latest poll, which has a larger sample, and it finds Bush's approval rating among blacks at 12 percent, down only slightly from 14 in July. Here are those results (PDF Link) .Down to 12ish from 14, when on 11% voted for him in 2004. This is a pointless fucking commentary from Froomkin and the Post. It's just as fucking bad as the canoe in the floodwaters video on NBC
