Until 1936 republicans always won the black vote.

In 1932 Roosevelt got 23% of the black vote, in 1936 the switch was made, and it was permanent, in 1936 Roosevelt got 71% of the black vote while the GOP got the 28%, a complete reversal.

The democrat presidential races never had to sweat the black vote again.

I’m having a sense of deja vu. I think we’ve discussed this before.

Interesting that they decided not to show the full graphical comparison where 2008 and 2012 percentages are shown as well. Such a chart would point out the obvious.
