Slightly more positive for Obama, a new poll suggests the country is a bit readier to make an African-American President than they are a woman.

    A Newsweek poll finds 86% of registered voters say they would back a qualified woman nominated by their party. For a black person, 93% say they would be willing to back the candidate.

    The survey also found Americans think their fellow citizens still are a bit reluctant to elect either. Only 55% say the U.S. is ready to elect a woman; 56% say they can see the country selecting an African-American.
