Donald Trump is on track to double Gov. Mitt Romney’s support among African-American voters, according to a series of state polls.
In 2012, African-Americans comprised a record 13 percent of all voters. President Barack Obama was reelected with 93 percent of the African-American vote, leaving Gov. Mitt Romney with only 6 percent of the African-American vote. Obama is now campaigning against Trump, and hoping to keep his share of the African-American vote below the 11 percent that George W. Bush won in 2004 during the housing bubble.
On Friday, a poll of 506 Pennsylvania voters by Harper Polling showed Trump has the support of 18.46 percent of African-Americans. That’s eight points more than Romney’s share of the national vote in 2012, and if it proves true during the ballot, that 18.46 percent African-American support translates into 2 point shift towards Trump. The poll also said another 4.6 percent were undecided.
The Harper poll is small, with an error margin of 4.4 percent, but an Oct. 30 poll of 1,249 likely voters in Pennsylvania showed Trump has 19 percent support among African Americans, while another 7 percent remain undecided. That poll has a error margin of 2.77 percent.
In next-door Michigan, two nights of a tracking poll conducted for Fox 2 of 1,150 likely voters showed Trump with 14 percent support and 19 percent support, leaving Clinton with 83 percent and 79 percent support. That’s equivalent to a two-point shift from Clinton to Trump in the state.
“We’re showing Donald Trump doing far better among African-Americans than any other Republican in modern memory, said John Yob, CEO of a Michigan-based polling firm, Strategic National. Trump “has done an excellent job in campaigning for the votes of African-Americans,”

In my heart, I want Trump to succeed at this for all of us.
Let’s bring the nation together as a team. I’m all for it.
Good info.
Trump should send Ben Carson to Detroit on Monday.
According to Rev Scott ( Cleveland). There is a large number of IN-cog-NEGRO votes.
Reagan had it right...”(paraphrasing) It’s not that my liberal friends don’t know anything, it’s that so much of what they know just isn’t so.”
All of the projections based on early voting assume that Hillary will own Democrat votes. If Trump takes more than 10% of the D (black, union) vote, the numbers are significantly different than we are led to believe.
Trump should send Ben Carson to Detroit on Monday.
Excellent idea. Carson was awesome this morning.
By the time they figure in the blacks that are afraid to admit they support Trump, it will be.
She was spraying her throat and doing some voice exercises.
She gave 2 thumbs up!"
Why she is getting even 74% is beyond me. The brainwashing is amazing, they damn well know she’s going to do absolutely nothing for the black community. Look how she treated blacks in Haiti, she stole all their money and left them in the gutter.
It’s happening. DJT’s surge is undeniable. Expect so-called undecided voters to pile on. No one wants to say hey voted for a losing candidate. It’s going to be a wonderful thing to behold!
Maybe. Or it could be like Pennsylvania — hopes are up every election and then they stick with the Democommies.
But, maybe. We’ll see.
My enemies are the enemies of humanity and worship Lucifer. It’s about time I came home to Jesus.
Amen.
I worship in a diverse church. I have seen several AA members get into it over who and why they are voting for whomever (Thank God they love the Lord!). It comes down again to many are single-issue voters (The worse reason I heard was that Obummer said they needed to vote for Hillary, so that is what they are going to do...).
Those that look at the entirety and who are well informed don't like either candidate, but the answer is not who they are voting for, but who they are voting against.
The baggage Hillary is carrying is monstrous, and stinks to high-heaven of corruption, treason, and anti-every I hold dear in this country. She actually needs to pay for her crimes, and not be rewarded for or in spite of them...
“....African-American support translates into 2 point shift towards Trump.”

And folks, this is only one demographic group, the black vote. This does not include the hispanic, blue-collar democrat or independent groups.
If Trump is doing better in these groups than Romney (which I know Trump is), this could be something that hillary cannot make up for. This is truely Bigly.
If you support a BABY KILLER, you are not a Christian.
Simple as that.
So he is voting for someone who is married to draft dodger!
I have never seen any accusations of Trump being a draft dodgers! There has to be another reason that he isn’t admitting. More likely he is just ‘anti-rich guy’! Yes I know the Slicks are rich and stole the money while in government while Trump earned his honestly in the private sector. I know several Rat voters who somehow rationalize a “pass” for those who scam their way to wealth while in government but then damn those who earn it in the private sector. It must be a common union notion. All I know who think this way are union members or come from strong union backgrounds.
That “Fat Lady” is in for a hell of a work out...
