Tell ‘Em Boy, Bye! Donald Trump Says He’s Confident He’ll Win the African-American Vote
According to a Quinnipiac University poll, Donald Trump has the backing of one percent of Black voters. To put it in context, the newspaper explains that Trump’s Black vote poll falls behind the six percent of the Black vote that went to Mitt Romney in 2012 and the four percent that backed John McCain in 2008.
Hillary Clinton, however, received 91 percent support of Black voters according to the poll, but the support of Black voters might not be enough to secure her win.
Amongst general voters, the two candidates are neck and neck in a tight race with Clinton only slightly ahead 42 percent to 40 percent.
Every vote counts.
