Donald Trump polls 0% in Detroit, WDIV/Detroit News survey finds

[RandySF]

Poll data shows Clinton holds a significant advantage over Trump among African-American voters, and among Detroit voters. Trump leads Clinton in Macomb County and in northern Michigan, including the UP.

Trump's 0 percent support in Detroit isn't unprecedented. The Republican candidate polled 0 percent among African-American voters in Pennsylvania and Ohio over the summer, according to an NBC poll.

In the Detroit poll, there are important caveats to the data. While the poll surveyed 600 likely voters across Michigan -- a large enough sample size to get meaningful data -- just 39 people were surveyed in the city of Detroit. The smaller sample size in the city increases the margin of error, and there's almost certainly people living in Detroit who will vote for Trump in November. The survey found 7.7 percent of voters were "undecided"

The current data, however, suggests Clinton has an overwhelming advantage in the city. She polled at 89.7 percent support in Detroit.

1. I would't expect him to poll so high . . .

2. This ain't Chicago: Detroit's dead don't usually vote.

At least they don't vote more than once.

Usually.

4. Detroit voters are really really smart about politics and voting.

Michigan is set up in such a way that the cities like Flint and Detroit are majority African-American, and the legislature is majority right-wing mendacious greedy white Republicans who will pretty much sink to anything. The voters in the cities have gotten super smart about spotting the tricks and lies that the crooked lawmakers attempt to foist off on them. They would see through Trump like you see through a Windexed picture window.

The link below points to an (August 30th) article that contains a link to a Rachel Maddow video report on a then-recent (true and reputable) poll which showed, among other things, that Hillary had a 5 point lead over Donald. She then reports on Donald's favorability ratings. On balance Trump is viewed more favorably than bed bugs, but among African-American and Latino voters it's the reverse: the bed bugs are better liked than Trump.
