Republican Donald Trump is surging with African American voters and gaining more support from Latino voters than Mitt Romney and John McCain.
The latest LA Times Daybreak poll has Hillary up by just six-tenths of a point.
Trump is surging with black voters and doing better with Latino voters than Romney or McCain.
In the last ten presidential election cycles the highest black vote share for a Republican was 12% for Bob Dole in 1996. Trump has 14.6% of the black vote in today’s LA Times poll.
If Donald Trump captured 25 percent of the African American vote he would win in a landslide.
And Trump has 26.7% of the Latino vote.
Mitt Romney gained 21 percent of the Latino vote in the 2012 election. Senator John McCain received 23 percent of the Latino vote in the 2008 election.
Obama had a 100% black vote. Hillary isn’t going to equal that at all.
What the heck? Trump is doing better with these groups of people?? But just this morning on Fox, some dude said Hillary is on track to get 340+ electoral votes; that this election is just about over.
Are they still doctoring polls to show Hillary is ahead?
I used to be a nevertrumper, and I’m not exactly crazy about him new, but this election is becoming so incredibly sweet. So many ox’s getting gored that righteously deserve it.
I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be like the little scroll...
Wait a month and then start looking at the polls
I think Trump has a huge underground vote
People where I live are not talking about the election
Are they afraid to say there voting for Trump?
Almost all polls are designed to influence elections prior to the final few days before the actual vote.
There’s much more money to be made in manipulation than in honest polling.
Yes they are afraid. They don’t want trouble. No bumper stickers, no lawn signs. It means Trump has a lot of underground silent support IMO.
Some pills are bitter pills, but I firmly believe we have a fighting chance in this one. The last two times, I’m convinced that McCain and Romney threw their elections. McCain with his ‘suspension of campaign’ over the financial markets. Romney when he went into ‘rope-a-dope’ after the Benghazi debate with Candi Crowley.
Now, both are almost openly cheering for Clinton. That should suggest where their loyalties were all along.
Yes, they are. I had a conversation the other day with some workers that proved it to me. Took a bit to make them feel comfortable, but then they were overwhelmingly Trump.
The conservatives in the media want Hillary to win.
We need to encourage them to get signs and put them in general places if they are fearful. Get cheap ones and keep replacing them as necessary.
As possibly the whitest woman currently walking the planet, she certainly has her hands full.
I cringed during the primaries when Michael Medved said Trump can’t win, and that was why he was against him. I’ve talked to plenty of “non-republicans” that love Trump. I think he has fired up a new breed of “Reagan Democrats”. I think that if he can “distance himself” from the republican party, he may get a LOT of Sanders voters as well as Blacks and Hispanics, and even Jews.
i.e. I’ve always thought that if he got the nomination he was as good as elected. and I said that when going to the bitter end with Cruz and even becoming a nevertrumper.
And to be clear, one reason was Hillary’s health. It’d going down even faster than I expected. It’s not going to go away. It’ll get a lot worse as an issue.
The previous two Designated Losers had no intention of winning.
They were simply to give the illusion of choice.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation required the full cooperation of both parties.
Black voters know she’s a crook.
What conservatives in the media?
The media doesn’t seem to like brown and black people who can think on their own do they?
You mean the fake conservatives in the media? :>)
Medved has long been a propagandist for the Cheap Labor Express.
He has spent years trying to convince his listeners that we cannot enforce our laws.
That we have no choice but to abandon the rule of law and surrender our country.
Hewitt is the same only sneakier.
For the historically anti-black Democratic Party, the proper response from a black to Chris Matthews is: “Yes, sir, Mr Matthews.”
