In California they call this the Bradley effect, after a very popular African American politician who ran for office, whose poll numbers were much higher going in to the election than the numbers he actually got. A lot of people will
say that they're going to vote for a minority candidate, but can't actually bring themselves to. Most racists are either unconscious of their racism or deeply secretive about it.
