His 'Not Sure' percentage among African Americans actually increased from July. You'd think that an inversion of likeability, or even time itself, would signal an increase in exposure. There's a lot of things in that poll that just seem a little odd. I mentioned in a GDP thread that 61% of Clinton supporters aren't sure who'd be their second choice (Bernie gets 30% there). Also, Bernie only received 2% (2!!) of the 'Somewhat Conservative' vote, whereas he received 12% of the 'Very Conservative' vote. Go figure...
