Kevin Williams hopes Barack Obama will win on Election Day, but he isn’t convinced enough white Americans will cast a ballot to elect the nation’s first black President.
“I’m definitely skeptical – you still can’t quite trust it,” said Williams, a 40-year-old teacher, as he left the Golden Krust bakery in Harlem. “I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop.”
Williams, who worked for a pollster in college, said he knows survey participants “are not necessarily being honest or truthful.”
Many echo his sentiment.

We ill see who will be the president next week, the poll show Obama will win 100%, but you never know what will happen. Lets just hope he wins. With God help he will lead USA for the next 8 years!
God Bless Obama!
