2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Latest poll of African Americans: Hillary 82%, Sanders 6%, Webb 3% [View all]
Since everyone seems to be talking about how #BlackLivesMatter will impact the race for the Democratic nomination, I decided to take a look at the latest poll numbers from PPP, the most accurate pollster from the 2012 presidential election cycle.
Here's where the candidates stand when it comes to the black vote:
Clinton may be up by 35 points instead of 56 this month, but she's still pretty dominant
across demographic lines. She is polling over 60% with liberals and seniors, and over
5o% with moderates, men, women, whites, and younger voters. Her area of greatest
strength though is with African Americans, where she gets 82% to 6% for Sanders and
3% for Webb

Some know him well, some know a little about him, and some hardly know him at all.

Fairly or not, Hillary is seen as being sympathetic to the needs of the African American community.

Other news in the poll shows Clinton still strong actually going up a few points.
