Then Alex Whitt is pushing just the opposite message. Is it intentional misinformation? I wonder. JohnSJ Oct 2024 #5
Agreed. Polls can be manipulated to reflect whatever it's sponsors want it to. brush Oct 2024 #3

It isn't MY HEADLINE, it is what Whitt was saying. That VP Harris has 10% less black support than Biden had JohnSJ Oct 2024 #6

indicate Harris is getting the same level of Black support that Biden received. I predict she will even increase their support when all is said and done. Witt is up to her weekend nonsense in trying to dampen enthusiasm wherever she can…it gets stale.

It is not saying she does not have the majority of African American support, but that she has less African American support than what Biden had in 2020, and I say that is nonesense.

How can it be tied when 200+ Republicans are vocally supporting Harris calling trump incompetent or worse?

It is being reported that the overall percentage of the black vote that Democrats are receiving has been declining and recent polls show it getting worse for Harris

https://www.vox.com/politics/378521/democrats-black-men-support

In 2012, 87 percent of Black men backed former President Barack Obama; in 2016, 82 percent backed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; and in 2020, 79 percent backed President Joe Biden, according to NBC exit polls. This year, 70 percent have said they’re backing Vice President Kamala Harris, per a recent New York Times/Siena poll.


Don't shoot me, I am only relating what is reported to explain what the OP is about.

Pesky squirrel is eating the crow food. Soon it will be 8 feet above ground in a tray. I would believe in this pole.
