Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has to worry about a steep drop-off of the black vote that could imperil her chances of winning the White House in November, an analysis had found.
The number of African-Americans who voted in Tuesdays primaries plummeted by an estimated 40 percent in Ohio, 38 percent in Florida and 34 percent in North Carolina compared with the 2008 Democratic primary when Barack Obama was on the ballot, reported the advocacy group Black Votes Matter.

Analysts expected some drop-off, but not the enormous numbers recorded Tuesday.

Looks like the World's Smartest Woman didn't pander enough ...
And I am surprised - why?
I can’t wait for her to start rapping.
We need to exploit this weakness. Allen West for VP!
She needs to bring Tim Wise into the campaign to write her speaches.
This could change the whole complexion of the race!
Clever!
I think they’re just afraid of barking dogs.
They’ll turn out the usual 95% for Hillary in Nov. because they’re voting for their government checks. It’s a way of life,just as LBJ planned it when he predicted that his War on Poverty would “keep the N.....s voting Democratic for 200 years.” LBJ was a shrewd SOB.
Very first line of first rap song: “I ain’t ..in no ways tired.”
BINGO!!!
It isnt just a Hillary issue. In 2014 Nunn (D) had a massive, well funded, well staffed, well organized get-out-the-vote effort. I thought she would lose to Perdue (R) in a squeaker.
But Black co-workers, Black neighbors, Black I talked with at the coffee house and McDs while using their wifi all day were piszd that their insurance premiums went up, deductibles went up for less coverage.
These Blacks who voted in 2010 and in off years for mayor claimed they were not going to vote for Nunn. I didnt believe them. But it turned out to be true.
A few flipped R. Many did not vote.
Most importantly, the D professional organizers are in denial about it ... in the same way R consultants are in denial about our anti-establishment mood.
Get-out-the-vote is important for both Rs and Ds. But it still needs the issues, message and candidate to be in touch with the reality of the voters experience.
Wait-—wasn’t Bill Clinton labeled the first black president? That would make Hillary the first black First Lady. Therefore a lot of black people don’t want a former black First Lady to be the third black president. Makes sense, right? (’
That’s probably so, but in 2008 and 2012 blacks made up 13 percent of the voters, prior to that, and during off year elections, they only made up 10 percent. Without 0bama on the ticket, they are less likely to turn out in the same number. 95 percent of 10 percent is much small than 95 percent of 13 percent.
I read the other day that if Trump increased his share of the white vote by just 4 percentage points, he could flip 8 states.
being selfish to the bone, Hillary did not spend the walking around money in the black churches
They will in the general election
Almost every presidential election year, we get the notion the AA turnout is going to be down. That notion is starting to play out again. Like Charley Brown trying to kick the football, we will be fooled again. It is a safe bet the AA community will be at the polls in full force in near unanimous support of Queen Hillary in November.
And the #blacktavists who are out rioting against Trump now are all Sanders supporters. When he drops out they will move on to their regularly scheduled burning down of local minority owned businesses in the name of social justice.
If they don’t, the huge numbers of illegals that are pouring in, will vote in their place.
