Unemployment also doesn't mean much unless you can aggregate that data to show how many people are working multiple jobs


If you don't have the skills to pay the bills or you choose to live in SanFran or NYC then that's kinda on you.

Dude really just be flooding the forum with bs. The total percentage is not the issue. It's not a zero sum game where 12% is the magic number. The question is whether black turnout will return to Obama era levels or not. If it does, Trump's chances are worse. If it doesn't, Trumps chances are better.

Ultimately this will mainly boil down to whether the democrat candidate can win enough white votes too, specifically in the Midwest. Good luck doing well enough with those voters if the nominee is Bernie...

Poll: Democrats underperforming with black voters


Poll: Democrats underperforming with black voters
More than one-third of those surveyed expressed a desire for ‘someone else’ to run for president.
“Black voters are extremely anxious right now about what’s happening in the country,” said Adrianne Shropshire, executive director of BlackPAC, citing the large percentages of survey participants who also expressed dissatisfaction with the economy and direction of the country. “It matters not the age category or people that live in rural or suburban communities. People are paying attention at a really high rate.”

The results of the survey come as Trump’s reelection campaign ramps up its efforts to garner black support. The president’s team has employed a number of efforts to build support in black communities — including cash giveaways to black supporters. In 2016, Trump received 8 percent of the black vote, according to exit polls. BlackPAC found that 28 percent of the black voters in its survey reported either seeing Trump’s campaign ads, receiving mail paraphernalia or being directly contacted by the Trump campaign.

Still, the president and Republican Party as a whole remain very unpopular with black voters, as 76 percent of them disapprove of the president‘s performance and nearly 80 percent support his removal from office. Of the black voters who reported contact with the Trump campaign, 57 percent said it negatively influenced their willingness to vote for the president. Nearly a quarter of voters said defeating Trump was most important to them in November.

Black voters have long been considered the backbone of the Democratic Party due to the high volume and consistency with which they have turned out to vote for the party’s nominees. In 2016, exit polls revealed that 88 percent of black voters supported Hillary Clinton. In 2012, Barack Obama got 93 percent of the black vote. Voters hold a 62 percent approval rating for Democrats in Congress, nearly 30 points above the RealClearPolitics national average.

Karen Hunter and her bullshyt. Always trying to act like a great number of black men support Trump!!

She cited some poll alleging 16% of black men support Trump. We've said this numerous times on here that is still a small number yet this woman and those like her (AM Joy, Rollie etc) keep trying to push this narrative.

The underlying message is that black women got to save the day again by voting 100% for Democrats who offer nothing to black men.

This shyt is sinister as fukk and I'm disappointed these "woke" sistas keep pushing this!!!

If trump wins a few more black votes its a wrap for democrats. The margins are already slim enough
