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 Florida’s black voters.
Trump took an overall lead in the state, 43 to 41 percent, within the poll’s 2.7 percent margin of error.
While Clinton takes the largest share of African-American voters, Trump’s 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.

Yes. And stand up and openly say....I will not pander to blacks and Latinos like the Democrats do. I want ALL Americans to succeed regardless of color or ethnicity. I want all neighborhoods to be prosperous and livable. That will never happen as long as the Democrats control things and separate everyone by race.
Not really that strange. We have been averaging over 1,000 new residents a day for almost 2 decades. It is so bad that over 2/3’s of our population was born somewhere else.
Florida is no longer a southern state.
Nervous much, Hillary?
“It would appear that her internals are also showing this shift.”
We seem to watch the campaign the same way :-).
I think the campaign against the bitch is *really* going to start on Tuesday, September 6, 2016 :-). Trump’s done a good job rallying the base and, to some extent, healing the fractures in the Republican party in general. Those are the things you need to do heading into the ‘real’ campaign season.
After Labor Day, I expect Trump to start taking it to the self anointed queen in ways she never imagined.
I think we’ll know when Trump wins ... it’ll be when she starts playing the “attack the woman” card much like she did to Rick Lazio back in 2000 ... only this time, it won’t be a finishing move on Trump ... it’ll be a signal that her campaign is completely out of ideas to salvage the bitch’s campaign.
(This is all opinion for those that interpret it as fact :-) ).
And if we get a President Hillary, people will be PROSECUTED and PERSECUTED for even SUGGESTING that we do something about illegal immigration.
Electing Trump is more important than anything he will do as President, electing Trump will be the DEATH of Political Correctness as well as the MSMedia...
There is a LOT more at stake than the issues and THAT is exactly why the Left is panicking.
Sounds like my state, California.
“He now has a major arena rally in Everett, Washington next Tuesday. “
I would think his best shot in the Pacific NW would be Oregon, but they know better :-).
Do I hear the sounds of SCALES falling from Eyes???
That’s what I’ve been saying for years. Makes no sense.
Trump’s landslide and mandate-majority will make Reagan’s look like a squeaker.
This election isn’t about Trump getting a higher percentage of black votes, it’s about the lack of enthusiasm black people have for Hillary.
“World Nut Daily.”
I have never understood why some Freepers look at them that way. I’ve never detected any nuttiness at that site.
Mindless insults to the one good site that reports news the elites don’t want reported is ignorant.
They publish a lot of good stuff and too much tinfoil hat stuff which discredits it. Sort of like the National Enquirer.
“It’s been strange to me that a guy named Barrak Hussein Obama could win POTUS after 911.”
You wonder if he would’ve won if the MSM had been allowed to mention his middle name. Even McCain scolded people who pointed out the “Hussein” part. We on FR knew it ‘cause we’re tuned in politically. But I have friends who had no clue until he took the Oath of Office — in 2013!
This is exactly why HIllary is playing racist card, which at this point will fail because Trump unlike weak GOP candidates actually stood up for himself and his supporters, and lets face it folks, minorities don’t have anything to lose at all voting for Trump unlike Pandering HIllary who will do nothing to create jobs and in fact ship all the existing jobs overseas putting everyone on govt dependency for the coming dictatorship.
She will be huddling with the media to give our further orders soon.
