Hillary Clinton Is Overwhelmingly Popular Among Black Americans
Huffington Politics ^ | August 11,2015 | Yujia Pan

Posted on 08/16/2015 3:26:11 PM PDT by lbryce

Black Americans view Hillary Clinton far more favorably than they do any other presidential contender, according to a Gallup survey released Monday.

Eighty percent of black adults have a favorable impression of the Democratic front-runner and former secretary of state. Even when taking into account the percentage who view Clinton unfavorably, she still has a 68 percent net favorability rating among black Americans, a group that analysts at the Cook Political Report have called the "overlooked key to 2016."

Clinton's favorability rating among black Americans eclipses those of the other Democratic hopefuls. The next highest rating belongs to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is running for president as a Democrat and has a net 23 percent favorability rating among black adults. Sanders' relationship with the black community has come under heightened scrutiny since the start of his presidential campaign. Black Lives Matters activists recently shut down a Seattle rally where the senator was scheduled to speak.

Black Americans aren't as enthusiastic about the Republican field. Almost all of the GOP candidates have negative net favorability ratings among black poll respondents. The lone exception is retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who has a 4 percent net favorability rating in that group.

This is so mind-bogglingly revealing, prescient into the mindset of Black America, it's like the fundamental principles of politics all being pulled together into one, that gets to explain everything.

It's all sad, revealing, incisive, profound, tragic and comedic all rolled into one. How it is that these people are so clueless,so clueless that they are clueless, that in their lifelong search for the truth they continue getting it wrong no matter what.

I don't believe it.

Hillary earned the everlasting animosity of the greater portion of the black community when she opposed The Won leading up to 2008.

Besides, if she was that popular with them the democrats wouldn't be pushing the Black Lives Matter crap so hard. Obviously they are worried the blacks will stay home in 2016.

I’ve already come across a few blacks that want to vote for Trump besides that video with the black women in it for Trump. I call this article “wishful thinking”.

Not a surprise. They spent so much time complaining about the plantation they forgot who was running it

But you know they are not going to crawl over broken glass to vote for Hillary like they did for Obama.

Blacks suffer more than or as much as anyone with illegal immigration.

So if WJC was the ‘first black president’ that means Hellary was the first black lady as well. But shhhhhhh— dont tell the Moosche or else..... well, you know.

You not believing it may very well be because it’s true. Huffington is overwhelmingly liberal and might very well end up writing a story like this.

Not sure about that overall %, but among the gibsmedats, it is likely 99.99%.

They know who will keep LBJ's ball rolling and the EBT cards topped off.

Proving once again the stereotype that Black men like women with big butts.

No surprise. Hillary and the RATS are the plantation owners. Low information voters are their base.

I predict if its The Donald vs Hellary that he will pick off at the very least 5% of the regular black votes for the Dems.

More evidence American blacks are the most gullible, ignorant people on the planet.

I guess they really DO want to stay on the plantation the Clintons represent. So much for the Civil War.

It would seem that Black America would rather live in crime neighborhoods getting their bread and TV circuses and staying “poor” than work for a living and maybe making themselves prosperous. There seem to be some exceptions. At the shipyard where I work many of the Negro welders and painters and electricians say nice things about Trump and I have heard some talking about Carson and even Cruz.

I believe it. Every Republican will not even register. Rand Paul can reach out all he wants, he will never get anywhere. In the Democrat field, besides Herself, you have a hippie in his dotage, another guy who was the only one to defend the Confederate flag, and another guy who was portrayed in “The Wire” as a complete weak sister. Easy to win a poll when your the only one who can compete.
