Remember these are all hypothetical candidates from their own party though... So say a woman Democrat ran against a white male Republican. This would indicate that 12% of Democrats would rather vote for the Republican, i.e. he would win with 62% of the vote.

I agree that if it was a phone interview the numbers will be skewed though, people don't like admitting their prejudices out loud.
