https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=&w=1484That's not necessarily precise, of course. If you include the margin of error, it's possible that Trump is getting -10 percent of the black vote. (That's not a typo; the margin of error is 11 percent.)
But anyway, it can get worse than that. The Wall Street Journal's Neil King reports that in the Journal-NBC-Marist poll of Ohio, Donald Trump gets a nice round 0 percent of the vote from black Ohioans.

I'm saddened and disappointed that over 50% of white voters fall for his race baiting hatred.

(260 posts)5. I have such a hard time believing the polls...
I do accept that he does have some support among uneducated, angry and racist white voters, but for me it jelled when I was listening to 1010 wins here in New York and they talked about the latest polls and the 'tightening' of the race - but then added "...observers believe this one's gonna be a nail-biter". I don't think so, I think the media wants to make it seem that way but like you I cannot believe that a full 50% of any segment of the population is for Trump.
