New national poll shows Sanders surpassing Biden with African Americans
The Hill ^ | 02 25 2020 | Justin Wise

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has strengthened his lead in the 2020 Democratic presidential race and surpassed former Vice President Joe Biden in support from African American voters, according to a new poll.

The Reuters/Ipsos survey released Tuesday found Sanders's lead stretching into the double digits for the first time, with the senator holding an 11-point advantage in the race and a 3-point edge over Biden among black voters.

Overall, 26 percent of surveyed Democrats and Independents said they would vote for Sanders, a self-identified democratic socialist, while Biden and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (D) tied in a distant second with 15 percent support.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg garnered the backing of 10 percent of respondents. Four percent said they would vote for Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), while 3 percent said they'd back billionaire activist Tom Steyer.

Sanders cemented himself as the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination after a decisive victory at the Nevada caucuses last weekend. The victory came on the heels of a win in New Hampshire and a close second-place finish behind Buttigieg in Iowa.

I’m gonna put this out there. The crowd that follows Louis Farrakhan will not vote for Bernie Sanders.

Adding up all the numbers, I get 68 percent. This means the largest plurality is “none of the above”. I’m going to need more popcorn.

Say it isn't so, Joe. You frickin' POS loser.

I so enjoy Biden's demise. His life goal never achieved.

I don’t think Blowprah is on board with Burney either.
She’s a big influencer and one of the biggest factors in Baraq becoming Grand Caliph in 2009.

If Bernie wins SC and cleans up on Super Tues, it’s lights out. The old commie gets the nomination. And that’d seem like a dream scenario for DJT’s reelection, but complacency can be dangerous.

I am really rooting for the “Biden never won a primary” streak to continue.

Feel the Bern!

I still don’t believe blacks will vote for Trump in any significant numbers especially with all the freebees being thrown about by the dems.
I could be wrong. The animosity towards whites run deep from the last 150 years and is ingrained in them by their culture whites=Republicans=evil.

Yes if Bernie is allowed to win SC it is indeed over. Unless they use what they used on Breitbart.

Yep. Joe’s got five black voters and Bernie has six, clearly surpassing him.

However, the article doesn’t point out that Bernie is running for President and Joe is running for Senator . . . . he thinks.

Underestimating Bernie would be a huge mistake.

If you want blacks to support Trump just vote for Pete Buttgig in the open primaries.

I have a Republican friend in SC who’s crossing over and voting for Bernie. I suspect a lot will be.
