BREAKING! Party that Nominated Racist Buffoon Attracting Few African-American Voters
The transition from the Party of Lincoln to the Party of Calhoun is going swimmingly:
Among black voters, Trump is doing particularly poorly, earning only a percentage point or two. (The results in the Fox News poll were similar.) Comparing how Trump is faring in these polls to how Mitt Romney did (according to exit polls) is revelatory. Romney won men by seven points; Trump trails by one and seven points in the new polls. Romney won white voters by 20; Trump leads by two and five points. Romney won Republicans by 87 points. In the McClatchy/Marist poll, Trump is winning by only 73 points — a big dip among more than a third of the electorate.
To put this in perspective:
If these polls are to believed, there are ~30k black people who are Trump supporters in USA. There are ~50k people at tonight's Yankee game.

There’s a reason that vote suppression is a such an urgent priority for the Republican Party.
In related news, this concern trolling from Tavis Smiley was truly world-class.
