Hillary Clinton is in serious trouble with Black voters and faked polls won’t change the truth

The fake pollsters are in a panic over the terrible support numbers Hillary Clinton is getting with Black voters. The truth is either being erased and smothered or nuanced into unrecognizable pap.

The party line is that Donald Trump gets between 5% and ZERO yes ZERO percent of the Black vote and these statements reek of fear and panic.

The truth is found in a growing number of honest polls showing Trump gets between 20% and 32% of the Black vote – yes 32%.

Last week yet another poll from Florida gave Trump a small overall edge but reported him getting 20% of the Black vote to Hillary Clinton’s puny for a Democrat 68%.

These kinds of numbers have the pollsters so worried that they don’t know how to lie about them. In some cases they are driven to insanity and actually publish polls that say Trump gets ZERO percent of the Black vote as Quinnipiac did for polls in Ohio and Pennsylvania a few weeks ago. In other cases they try to present the Black support for each candidate as if Trump could never win the election without getting at least 51% of the Black vote.

This leads to reports saying, “Clinton has a commanding 68/ 20 lead over Trump,” as if there were any way possible way Clinton could win with just 68% of what will certainly be a reduced Black voter turnout.

The problem for the fake pollsters is that the “Trump is doing well with Black voters,” mantra just won’t die. They can’t find a lie that will make it go away. It started almost a year ago when a national SurveyUSA poll reported on in USAToday showed Trump getting 25% of the Black vote.

Since then we have seen other polls of this kind including one done by Civitas in North Carolina showing Trump getting 32% of the Black vote.

Recently, a Morning Consult poll showed Trump moving to within 3 points nationally but doing just 5% with Black voters. Holding that outlier 5% aside it says Clinton is getting 79% of the Black vote. They don’t (and will never will) tell us that the average Democrat percentage of the Black vote over the past four presidential elections was 90.5% including just 88% for John Kerry which, considering the closeness of the race (51/48 in favor of George W. Bush) might very well have cost him the election.

Clearly if Hillary Clinton gets just 79% of the Black vote and Trump only beats the 10.3% Republicans have averaged in the last ten cycles, with even 15% of the Black vote he will be in very good shape; and Clinton will be in big trouble.

Then there is Clinton’s very serious Black voter lack of enthusiasm problem.

The number of Black Democrats who voted in the 2016 Democrat primaries was down sharply. Down 40% in Ohio; 38% in Florida and 34% in North Carolina where the Civitas poll found 32% of Black voters backing Trump.

Up to 2004 Black voters averaged 9.75% of the electorate. Barack Obama basically won by pushing that number up to 13%. It is a good bet that that number is out of Clinton’s reach.

I am often amazed at the ingenuity of the unwashed to game whatever system there is to be gamed, but, you may be correct in this case.

Perhaps, someone needs to “goose” the paid voters with this idea; it just might make the Democrats’ “walking around money for votes” scheme a bit less effective, hah.

Good black people want good paying jobs just like anyone else. Being poor sucks. Trump offers what the clinton’s never can; freedom, prosperity, and good self esteem.

Everyone wants that. A clinton/obummer Presidency would never allow it to happen. Gotta keep the poor people on the plantation ya know. Can’t have them thinking for themselves.
