Remember, blacks constitute only 13% of the population, so a huge swing in the black vote isn’t all that many percentage points in the total vote. Yes, it matters, but no, the numbers aren’t all that out of whack.
13% of the population— true.
But the traditional 10% of the black vote going “R” contributes 1.3 percentage points in the “R” column.
If Trump can capture 30% of the black vote, that’s 3.9 percentage points of the overall vote. Getting 2.6 percentage points more (3.9 - 1.3) is very significant and could be the deciding factor.
Blacks are really sick and tired of Dems taking them for granted which is a very racist thing for Dems to do. I’m surprised the horrific and very racist Biden comment “If you don’t vote for me your aren’t black” didn’t send even more blacks to the “R” side.
The Dems need their 90% black vote across the country or they lose. Trump is polling much higher than 10% nationally.
Being tied for the black vote in freakin’ Michigan is scary good.
Almost too good.
