57. It's especially poignant because 90% of the black vote went to Gore, highest since LBJ
A higher percentage than voted for Clinton in either the 92 or 96 elections.

A record 90% of the black vote went to Gore, exceeding the margins of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton, who had connections at least as strong as Gore's to the black community. Conversely, the white vote went strongly for Bush, 54-42%.
