New Poll: Nation's Most Competitive Races May Hinge on Trump's Racism

https://www.naacp.org/latest/new-poll-nations-competitive-races-may-hinge-trumps-racism/

NAACP posted this poll and analysis

BALTIMORE – Today, the NAACP released results from a new poll, conducted for the NAACP by the African American Research Collaborative and Latino Decisions, pulling data from voters in 61 of the nation’s most competitive midterm races. The poll analyzed views of African American, White, Latino, Asian American, and Native American voters in these districts, which will ultimately decide which party controls the House


13 Point advantage for Democratics:




He (Trump) is WAAAAAY under water with voters of all races - but non whites - we hate his guts:



Note leading to black women having had high turn out in recent off year special elections . . . well tell me something I didn't know! yeah - we got the bastard's number alright.
Voters across all racial and ethnic groups believe Trump is setting race relations back. Three quarters of African Americans, Latinos and Asian Americans believe Trump is setting race relations back while a small majority of white voters believe so. Black women (89%), in particular, feel disrespected by President Trump. This is a likely contributor to why African American women voters have had high turnout in recent off year and special elections – witness Alabama and Virginia.




I'm just saying - Trump is a piece of shit - okay? Like - where my other black women at DU?

Like - why can't everyone else just see what we see here? And today - today -

I'm hearing on MSNBC that he called that Maginault woman a dog? He just keeps piling on.


Henry Fernandez, Principal, African American Research Collaborative, said, “One of the most interesting findings in our survey is that African American women have the highest negative reactions to Trump. When asked whether Trump has ever made them feel ‘disrespected,’ fully 89% of African American women said ‘YES.’ No other group was close to this percentage. This is a new finding that may have huge implications. Trump’s disrespect would appear to be a major motivator for black women to turn out to vote. Given the high turnout of black women in the 2017 Alabama Senate election for example, Trump’s perceived disrespect may have helped flip Alabama’s Senate seat to the Democrats and may be putting the Senate in play in November.”

Are highly motivated to vote. We need to make sure every single black man and both men in women in the other minority groups CAN vote and DO vote.

My greatest fear? The Republicans see this poll and kick a bunch of us OFF the rolls - then we get blamed again for 'not showing up'.

We both know that's bullshit. They are always trying to throw our votes out.

GOTV, like we usually do! What's going on with our men? Black men are a bit more conservative, but they aren't for this crap. Who are they polling? Even my republican uncle, and we all have one, is disgusted by Dolt45 and his minions.

I also share your fears about the voting situation. That whole "blaming black folks for not showing up", while tens of millions of white folks (men and women) voted for Dump, really got to me. I had to step away from more than a few conversations.

Hopefully, everyone has their heads out of their butts this time and will GOTV!
