So … that’s 53%, not 70%, and it’s not broken out by race.

Again. Look at the overall data and the interviews given by the pollsters. Here is the link, again. Source

Research 2000 confirmed that nationwide, “the vast majority of non-white voters said that Obama was born in the United States; 97 percent of black voters, 87 percent of Hispanic voters, and 88 percent of other minorities.” These percentages did not vary by geographic region. Thus, for the South’s overall percentage of “Nirthers” to reach 53%, that means non-white hispanics must have had an extremely high percentage of nirthers to skew the statistics.

Nobody is claiming this to be an extremely precise statistic. But it’s pretty obvious that of all geographic/ethnic groups, white southerners are by far the largest population of nirthers.
