Did racism die in 1996?

According to Science, a journal writing on all things relating to the field, race may be the last factor Americans are considering when it comes to choosing a President. Although many social scientists have warned about a "Bradley affect" where the poll show an African-American candidate in the lead but on the actual election day he or she loses, such an affect has not occurred since 1996. But social scientists and pollster and political analysists alike are fascinated with the idea. Is it possible people would lie to a pollster? Who is likely to do so and when? Some of these answers will only be known in two weeks when people go to vote for real.
