1 of the 7 black republicans they always poll took the day off to protest.. It'll go back down to "normal" for the next poll.

is garbage.

That's all.

The most recent Q poll had his black support at 3%. That's probably right.

That does not compute unless the sample size is rather small. Then my ten apples will increase by 100% when I get ten more. YUGE!

Rasmussen is doing itself tremendous harm with such bogus analytics.

500 person sample per day... a total joke.

it has several million views. saw it being promoted on facebook (not as an ad, as a link on individual people's pages) In the first few minutes she mentioned the man who died while committing a crime which I perceived as a mention of george floyd so I quit watching.

Sounds like she switched sides over something that affected her personally, and the anger was misplaced too.

I hope that's all they show him. If he thinks that's what is going to happen in Nov he's going to be in for a rude awakening.

The last I heard, his AA support was around 3% so if it's now measured at 3.4%, that would be a 15% increase (and also within the margin of error anyway.)

Trump will likely get 8% of the African American vote, which is higher than past Republican nominees Romney, McCain, and W, and Dole got. He already did better than any of them in 2016.

And I say Ras is stark raving mad. Alternative facts. Bullshit.
This is setting up a narrative for them to steal the election. Democrats need to stay focused on election security. I've hardly heard anything about this issue in the past few months.
