LA times ignores its own poll showing blacks surging for Trump

For perspective, Republicans only received 5 percent of the black vote in 2012, 1 percent in 2008, 7 percent in 2004 and 3 percent in 2000, according to Gallup.

To see a jump to 14 percent support, while still losing the vast majority of those votes, is most certainly newsworthy, particularly in the context of a story about minority outreach by Trump. If the trend were to stick through November it would mark not only an historic shift in traditional voting patterns, but likely forecast a sizeable defeat for Hillary Clinton at the polls. It could be one of the bigger political stories this year. But even if the result was only temporary, it would still be news.
 
UPDATE: It appears the poll jump for Donald Trump among blacks in the LA Times/USC poll was a one day event. The poll represents a seven day rolling average. And now the Aug. 16 result is no longer included, and so the number has gone back down to earth (as this piece anticipated, see below), from 14 percent back down to 4.6 percent.
 
75% of what ?

all blacks ?

how many people were polled, and how many were black?
 
If public polls were accurate and honest, why do both parties conduct internal polls?
 
I was listening to a pollster from RCP saying balcks didnt represent enough people in an average poll (approx 1000 surveyed) to get an accurate # ... to get a fair percentage you needed to poll blacks only.
 
because the mex has taken over their neighborhoods and turned them into tijuana
 
It'll be interesting to see if there is ultimately some kind of bump from this effort.

Can't get any lower, that's the good news for Trump.
.
It's almost triple what GOP got in 2012 and damn near 5 times what they got in 2000


in 2000 the Republicans weren't even close to being as divided as they are today ... how did 2012 work out ?
 
hmmm....how many blacks are in the LA times? Maybe they mean blacks EMPLOYED by the times....
 
You think the pollsters went to terra del fuego and polled THEM? Of course they polled black...lol
