Warren shows signs of broadening her base (MSM LOL alert)
The Hill ^ | September 19, 2019 | Jonathan Easley

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) appears to be growing her share of support from black voters, who have been slow to warm to her campaign.

A new poll from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal found Warren in second place among black voters with 13 percent support, her best showing in any poll to date. That's up from 8 percent in the previous survey from July, although the 5-point swing is within the poll's margin of error.

Former Vice President Joe Biden still dominates the field with black voters, and he'll be the favorite to win the nomination unless that changes. Biden pulled 49 percent support from black voters in the NBC-Journal poll, a 36-point lead over Warren.

But Warren is showing signs of life here after public opinion surveys from earlier in the cycle showed her languishing in the single digits among black voters, raising criticism from some quarters that her appeal was limited to wealthy white liberals on the coasts.

"She's expanding her coalition, and that's a credit to her strategy and messaging and the bottom-up campaign she's built to this point," said Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright.

Hillary broadened her base. Now she has to wear those tent things over her little stretchy pants.

Sadly you can make inroads with virtually any voter group if you throw enough FREE SH*T at them.

Have you ever been to an Indian reservation?

Those people are 101% dependent on Federal handouts. Oh yeah, they WILL vote for her.

Just like my relative who does not agree with the Democrats on anything but always votes for them because he's a unionized public employee and likes his pension.

That will work out great for him until the “woke” Democrats decide that white people’s pensions deserve to be taken away because of, ya know, slavery, and ya know, reparations....

Takeaways from this article:

1. Warren is everybody's second choice.

2. Warren's popularity among Blacks has risen 5%.

3. The article says Warren has momentum.

The article also says that Joe Biden's popularity is holding, but I do not believe that is the case. I think his popularity is disintegrating with every gaffe. Warren has the better ground game in Iowa. Iowa and New Hampshire are both white states, hence, the black vote will not come into play until South Carolina. That makes Warren more likely to win Vermont as well as Iowa where she is now ahead in one poll.

The most important take away is that Warren is everybody's second choice and as the support for others like Harris dissipates further they will likely go to Warren.

No Democrat who was won Iowa and Vermont has failed to win the nomination.

Warren shows signs of broadening her base (MSM LOL alert)

All that needs to be asked is "What has she ACTUALLY DONE for these groups, other than blow a lot of hot air?"

I believe she ultimately becomes the Dem candidate. I think B&B Bernie & Biden drop out and she’ll be in the 70+% range by then. The Great White Hope, LOL. I know most FReepers consider her unelectable but with the right LGBTQ Black trandgendered candidate.....
