GOP nominee Donald Trump is experiencing an eye-popping surge in support among black Americans in Florida the biggest prize of all the battleground states according to a new poll.
Trump has attracted the backing of a full 20 percent of black Americans in Florida, a poll by Florida Atlantic University and the Economics Polling Initiative found.
The survey, conducted Aug. 19-22 and released Wednesday, shows Democrat Hillary Clinton winning the support of 68 percent of Floridas black voters.
Trump took an overall lead in the state, 43 to 41 percent, within the polls 2.7 percent margin of error.
While Clinton takes the largest share of African-American voters, Trumps numbers are noteworthy because Republican candidates have failed to capture more than 13 percent of the black vote in the state in at least 24 years:
In 1992, President George H.W. Bush received just 10 percent of the black vote in Florida.
In 1996, Sen. Bob Dole won only 9 percent of the black vote in Florida.
In 2004, President George W. Bush captured just 13 percent of the black vote in Florida.
In 2008, Sen. John McCain secured just 4 percent of the black vote in the state.
In 2012, Gov. Mitt Romney won 4 percent of the black vote.
President Obama barely won the Sunshine State in 2012 by just more than .9 percent. The state has 4.4 million registered Republicans, 4.6 million Democrats and 3 million independents.

Frankly, the best focus in Black communities should be on law & order. There is a large element, who do not want to take the risk of openly denouncing the Obama/Clinton interference with good police work, who would still respond to a demand that we get Washington out of the business of harassing local police just trying to protect the law abiding citizens.
Yes, I totally agree and is the reason I upper case SAFETY.

Trump’s, “What do you have to lose?” question is reverberating nicely.
“her Thighness” . . .
I am going to have to remember that one! LOL!
Let’s hope Hillary’s Muslim supporters don’t start exploding. But if she wins suicide bombers are almost guaranteed to reach the US over the next 4 years.
Thanks !, shows Trump getting 40% Hispanic as well.
If he gets 40% Hispanic and 20% Black, Hillary is toast, no way she wins.
Well, I am one of those Florida Independents having left the GOP in 2007 because of crony crap that is coming out now in Trump campaign. It’s called NPA..which is acronym for No Party Affililiation.
Now I assume if you put together the normal GOP vote from the past...ad a huge amount from those independents throw in the Cuban hispanics and this 20% of the Black vote....TRUMP will crush Hitlery in Florida... I predict more than the 2% in this poll.

It’s been strange to me that a guy named Barrak Hussein Obama could win POTUS after 911.
Trump also plans to take this message literally across the country!!
He now has a major arena rally in Everett, Washington next Tuesday. Putting the Pacific Northwest into play!!! WOW!!
If she becomes POTUS, she might as well get paid by the Kremlin an/or Beijing. The US will become Borscht and/or Peking Duck.
Amen. At some point you have to believe that Black Americans will get sick of the Plantation and want to start making their lives all that they could be.
It was a surrender.
Its been a strange 16 years. All orchestrated.
While I realize there are a lot of those in Florida, can you imagine what will happen if the same demographic breakdowns exhibit similar behavior in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania?
Their dalliance with Obama is regrettable but understandable. They will have no such allegiance to Hillary.
Trump will get almost all of the “American” votes. The outcome depends on if more voters consider themselves “Black-American”, “Mexican-American”, “Other-oppressed-American”, than consider themselves “American”. Oppressed-Americans want someone to punish their oppressors so they will vote D since Rs don’t divide people into mostly imaginary oppressed/oppressor groups and when there is a real problem they will help the oppressed, not punish the oppressors.
This sounds like Trump’s been making that conversion in voters from “Oppressed-American” to “American” in FL. Hopefully it will continue across the US and he’ll win a landslide.
We all been had to one degree or another and each group is coming to grips with that...
You think it just black waking up to the fact they been had by the dems?... But haven we woken up just as much to we been had by the establishment GOP?..Just as the Bernie left has woken up to they we had by the establishment dems?
