Digging into the Opinion Savvy/FL poll where Trump leads 29-20% over Cruz, and beating Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio combined, some rather stunning details popped out from the internals
Trump leads among black Republicans with 39% supporting him (Cruz has 20%)
Cruz leads very slightly over Trump among Hispanics (22-20)
On the question of whether you "strongly approve" or "somewhat approve" of Trump's proposal to ban new Muslim immigration, 70.5%. Wow.
Florida black Republicans? Both of them?
“Florida black Republicans? Both of them?”
I suspect Trump will get a large chunk of black democrats...
“I suspect Trump will get a large chunk of black democrats...”
I think you are correct.
That remains to be seen. I hope so, but I've been around a long time, ain't happened yet. I haven't seen anything in the last 7 years that indicates to me the black population in this country is thinking differently politically.
No offense to our black conservatives, but I think you folks are still a pretty select group. With a darn impressive average IQ I'm betting.
You’ll find out there are a lot more than 2.
A lot of blacks watch the Apprentice. They like Trump. I think he gets a good portion of that vote and a good portion of the Hispanic vote.
a republican doesn’t necessarily need a large chunk if a pubbie can get 15 to 20% nationally he will be unbeatable
Decades of disastrous trade deals and immigration policies have destroyed our middle class. Today, nearly 40% of black teenagers are unemployed. Nearly 30% of Hispanic teenagers are unemployed. For black Americans without high school diplomas, the bottom has fallen out: more than 70% were employed in 1960, compared to less than 40% in 2000. Across the economy, the percentage of adults in the labor force has collapsed to a level not experienced in generations. As CBS news wrote in a piece entitled “America’s incredible shrinking middle classâ€: “If the middle-class is the economic backbone of America, then the country is developing osteoporosis.â€
The influx of foreign workers holds down salaries, keeps unemployment high, and makes it difficult for poor and working class Americans – including immigrants themselves and their children – to earn a middle class wage. Nearly half of all immigrants and their US-born children currently live in or near poverty, including more than 60 percent of Hispanic immigrants. Every year, we voluntarily admit another 2 million new immigrants, guest workers, refugees, and dependents, growing our existing all-time historic record population of 42 million immigrants. We need to control the admission of new low-earning workers in order to: help wages grow, get teenagers back to work, aid minorities’ rise into the middle class, help schools and communities falling behind, and to ensure our immigrant members of the national family become part of the American dream.
Jobs program for inner city youth. The J-1 visa jobs program for foreign youth will be terminated and replaced with a resume bank for inner city youth provided to all corporate subscribers to the J-1 visa program.
Refugee program for American children. Increase standards for the admission of refugees and asylum-seekers to crack down on abuses. Use the monies saved on expensive refugee programs to help place American children without parents in safer homes and communities, and to improve community safety in high crime neighborhoods in the United States.
Trump's immigration proposals resonate with minorities. They are hurt the worst by mass immigration.
Agree.
On the proposed ban, 72.5% approve and 23.3% disapprove, for more than a 3:1 ratio of approval to disapproval. Yes, that is remarkable.
Did you see the landline/mobile breakdown?
Cruz has twice as much support on landlines as mobile, Trump almost twice as much on mobile.
Rubio about equal, Paul six times as much mobile support, and Christie has no mobile support.
Really? And you wonder why GOP can’t attract black vote.
So commenting on the paucity of black Republicans in Florida is racist now?
So commenting on the paucity of black Republicans in Florida is racist now?
Trump getting 56% to Cruz's 12.
They lose the black vote and it is landslide city.
Only a few have to stay home and things change.
Only 20% go for Republican, Land slide and veto proof senate?
