Donald Trump is getting ZERO percent of the black vote in polls in Pennsylvania and Ohio

That'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.

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.
