Black leaders say African American support in presidential primary is fluid

[left-of-center2012]

Nearly one-fifth of African American voters in South Carolina are undecided over which Democrat to back in the state’s presidential primary, a warning sign for former Vice President Joe Biden, who is counting on support from black voters to pull him across the finish line.

Biden has built up mountains of goodwill among African American voters as the vice president to the nation’s first black president, and he remains the clear favorite among voters in South Carolina, where about two-thirds of Democratic primary voters are black

But African American leaders say support in the Democratic primary is fluid and could shift quickly behind whichever candidate looks strongest in a head-to-head matchup against President Trump.

“This cycle, many black voters are making a pragmatic choice, driven as much or more by who can defeat Trump as the issues they care about,” said Cornell William Brooks, a South Carolina native and the former NAACP president who is now a director at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics.

1. That's less fluid than all voters - according to most polls, undecideds are around 20%....

...or higher in many states' polls.

2. Only 1/5 are undecided in SC?

Doesn’t sound very fluid.

3. Mr. Easely seems dramatically unaware as to what 'fluid' means in regards to voter blocks.

4. What a crap analysis. In other words, "click bait".
