Donald Trump has only 1% of black voter support in latest Quinnipiac poll
A Quinnipiac University poll out Wednesday shows the presumptive GOP nominee has only the support of 1% of black voters.
His presumptive Democratic challenger, Hillary Clinton, has 91% support from the black voting bloc.
“You’re not going to find a lot of black people who openly support Donald Trump,” said Pastor Mark Burns, an African-American preacher in South Carolina who has stumped for Trump.
Meet the female, Muslim and Mexican-American Trump supporters
Trump’s pathetic polling with black voters is worse even than his standing with Hispanics — even though he has vowed to build a wall on the Mexican border, and spewed racist attacks at the Hispanic-American judge overseeing Trump University lawsuits.
Trump earned 33% of Hispanic voter support, the Quinnipiac poll says. Clinton earned 50%.
KING: Trump is danger to our country and he must be stopped
Even Arizona Sen. John McCain — when running against Barack Obama, who would become the first African-American President — won 4% of the black vote in the 2008 race.
Mitt Romney, who lost to Obama in 2012, did a little better than McCain by getting 6% of the black vote.
Trump has not vilified African-Americans on the campaign trail the way he has targeted Hispanics and Muslims — but he has still blundered chances to win their support.
The real estate mogul refused to disavow an endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke — first by pretending to not know who Duke is, and then blaming a “lousy earpiece” for his silence in a TV interview.
At a California rally earlier this month, a clueless Trump pointed out the only black person in attendance.
“Oh, look at my African-American over here!” Trump yelled to the Redding crowd.
“Are you the greatest? You know what I’m talking about?”
The Quinnipiac survey of 1,610 registered voters otherwise shows supporters divided along familiar lines for the two candidates.
Trump vastly leads with white men — holding 56% of their support, compared with 25% for Clinton. He’s also winning with voters between 50 and 64 years old, and older than 65.
But Clinton trounces Trump with support from millennial voters (48% to Trump’s 23%), white women (42% to 39%) and voters with college degrees (47% to 37%).
Voters without college degrees flocked to Trump, giving him 43% support versus 37% for Clinton.
The Quinnipiac poll says the candidates are nearly neck-and-neck on general voters — with Clinton slightly leading Trump, 42% to 40%.
