Poll shows Trump getting 33% of African American vote in Florida

Mason-Dixon poll today shows Trump getting 1% of African American vote, but now a new Fox/OpinionSavvy poll show Trump getting 33% of the African American vote.

The OpinionSavvy poll shows 12% of African American's in the sample as being Republicans, yet 33% of African Americans choosing Trump!

Could this be real? And, could this be why Hillary's campaign has been freaking out about the African American vote?

True, you can make the 'topline' of any poll say whatever you want, such "Clinton up by 3", by weighting the sample to get what you want. But what you CANNOT do, is change how people in the sample responded.

Sure you can, it's called PUSH POLLING where the questions are designed to elicit a certain response. Happens all the time. (more on that below.)

And that's the interesting thing here, there were a LOT of African Americans who told the pollster that they were either Democrat or Independent, and that they were voting for Trump.

Let's assume just for the sake of argument here that push polling is happening here by Democrat pollsters/Democrat media in an attempt to influence the African American community, which Shrillary is by some accounts starting to lose.

The fact that African American's would be pushing back against the push polls saying they're voting for Trump? Now THAT would be interesting indeed!

I'm so skeptical at this point, I'm really not going to believe anything until election day is over and I can see the raw data on the demographics and start figuring out for myself what really happened. This election year is such an outlier I really don't think anyone knows what these polls all reflect other than people are really pissed off at Washington DC and maybe - just maybe - we're not going to get another corrupt career politician sitting in the White House this time around.

I've been waiting for a disruptive election like this one for a very, very long time. I'm holding my breath.

Thanks for your interesting, insightful and thought provoking post. :-)
