Perhaps. It also seems like Dem pandering to them might be driving more Whites and even some Blacks to vote Republican.
Iirc Romney actually got something like 18% of the young Black male vote. This was offset by Black females voting for Obama at a hair under 100%.
Obamas not going to be on the ballot in 2016, so Black turnout should return to pre-2008 levels. After this year we may see a scramble by the Dems to recapture some White votes, which could cause issues with other portions of their base.
So lots of variables at work.
“Perhaps. It also seems like Dem pandering to them might be driving more Whites and even some Blacks to vote Republican.”
I wonder how many times THAT particular fantasy has to be shot down before ‘republicans’ wise up!
