Donald Trump is on track to double Gov. Mitt Romney’s support among African-American voters, according to a series of state polls.
In 2012, African-Americans comprised a record 13 percent of all voters. President Barack Obama was reelected with 93 percent of the African-American vote, leaving Gov. Mitt Romney with only 6 percent of the African-American vote. Obama is now campaigning against Trump, and hoping to keep his share of the African-American vote below the 11 percent that George W. Bush won in 2004 during the housing bubble.
On Friday, a poll of 506 Pennsylvania voters by Harper Polling showed Trump has the support of 18.46 percent of African-Americans. That’s eight points more than Romney’s share of the national vote in 2012, and if it proves true during the ballot, that 18.46 percent African-American support translates into 2 point shift towards Trump. The poll also said another 4.6 percent were undecided.
The Harper poll is small, with an error margin of 4.4 percent, but an Oct. 30 poll of 1,249 likely voters in Pennsylvania showed Trump has 19 percent support among African Americans, while another 7 percent remain undecided. That poll has a error margin of 2.77 percent.
In next-door Michigan, two nights of a tracking poll conducted for Fox 2 of 1,150 likely voters showed Trump with 14 percent support and 19 percent support, leaving Clinton with 83 percent and 79 percent support. That’s equivalent to a two-point shift from Clinton to Trump in the state.
“We’re showing Donald Trump doing far better among African-Americans than any other Republican in modern memory, said John Yob, CEO of a Michigan-based polling firm, Strategic National. Trump “has done an excellent job in campaigning for the votes of African-Americans,”

“All of the projections based on early voting assume that Hillary will own Democrat votes. If Trump takes more than 10% of the D (black, union) vote, the numbers are significantly different than we are led to believe.”
Exactly. Their polls are based on the 2012 model which is not correct for 2016.
“Bill Maher: ‘I’ll ‘F***ing Kill Anthony Weiner’ if Hillary Clinton Loses”
Interesting that he is not bothered at all by the criminality of the Clintons but that Anthony helped to expose them.
You are SO right about that!
Could care less about the Clinton Crime Family.
He’s just mad at their Weiner.
The GOPe is for a big tent.
Unless Trump is the candidate.
blacks who behave support TRUMP. and more are behaving, as they see that even for the Congressional GOP’s problems, they do better by the blacks than do the Democrat congressmen and senators.
I feel it too!
psyops from the cankles campaign is record latino turn out in NV and NC and FL.
Claiming Trump will need to outperform Cankles by 10% on election day in NV to win.
This of course assumes latinos are all voting dem.
I’m hoping Latinos consult African Americans about what they can expect as a result of voting for dems.
I started a thread a couple of weeks ago with the very video that you just linked! It is SO moving and so good!!! Keep posting it everywhere you can! By the way, the original poster on YouTube, Mark F, has quite a few other good videos you should check out, if you haven’t already.
The MSM is flat out lying to us about the amount of minority support for Trump; one look at YouTube confirms it. Start watching one pro-Trump/anti-Hillary video and see how many others start popping up as recommended videos...many of which are posted by black patriots! They are beyond tired of the Democrats’ plantation.
Thanks for posting this link; I never get tired of watching the video!
That’s fantastic!! God bless that beautiful woman and her patriotic husband!
This is crushing to Hillary, and the MSM is trying to counter this with the Hispanic vote turnout.
I guess that means The Donald will get 65 blacks to vote for him, and none in the Black Panther enclave of Phillie.
More than double... Probably 3.5x, plus a lower black turnout
Yeah, these “polls” of black voters that are small subsampless of polls don’t tell us much. Trump could be getting 5% or 20% of black vote - we won’t know until the votes are counted. But the Dems sure seem concerned about it.
