But African Americans make up a larger share of the vote than Hispanics in NC and they are more stalwart Democrats. Even the composition of black Democrats in NC are more favorable to the Democrats as they include less blacks from the Caribbean. And in FL Cubans reduce Democratic margins among Hispanics.


Still surprised though.

surprises rarely give more than a 2 point bump. They said it could make a difference in a close race. 6 points is not close. Someone posted the link to the 538 podcast last night. Anyway, I'm taking away the positives instead of focusing on negatives.

Pulling out all stops to get voters motivated as Trump can't win without both NC and Florida
