In reply to the discussion: "Bernie Sanders Beating Kamala Harris Among African American Voters" [View all]Awsi Dooger
(14,565 posts)46. No kidding...Kamala Harris does not have high levels of support right now
This is base normalcy. If Sanders is ahead of Harris overall, then why shouldn't he have greater numbers among African-Americans?
I think too many people look at the Democratic Underground ratio between Harris and Sanders, and somehow conclude it should be playing out 5/2 in her favor everywhere.
That is not the real world. Not right now. It may get there. But you can't expect someone who is polling at 9 or 11% in so many states to have demographic numbers in her favor.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

OP
Elsewhere you say it's not a poll, but a survey. Which is it? Where is the polling/surveying....

Sorry replied in the wrong spot. My comment was in response to Canadians posting about our elections

We know precious little about the details of that "10 million dollars" and 300,000 "people".

On-line survey - not poll. Morning Consult is legit enough for RealClear Politics

Also, some good news for party unity if it ends up being a Biden/Sanders race
