Trump Faces Hurdle With Minority Voters as Clinton Maintains Lead, Poll Shows

by Hannah Hartig, John Lapinski and Stephanie Psyllos

Hillary Clinton continues to hold a large national lead over Donald Trump, 50 percent to 42 percent, weeks after the Democratic National Convention.

Clinton's 8-point advantage is virtually unchanged from her 9-point lead last week, and she has seen similar margins since the end of July. These results are according to the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll among registered voters.

In a four-way general election match-up, Clinton holds a 5-point margin over Trump 43-38 percent, while Libertarian Gary Johnson garners 11 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein gets 5 percent.
...................

Trump faces a steep climb if he is to win non-white voters. Results from the latest tracking poll show that only 8 percent of black voters support him, compared to 87 percent who support Clinton. Trump is also behind among Hispanic voters with 22 percent compared to 73 percent who support Clinton. Asian Americans also overwhelmingly support Clinton, 66 percent to 23 percent who support Trump. ...............

2. 50 is a low number for a Republican

Traditionally Republicans win white voters 60-40.

[trusty elf]

5. Yes, you're right,

but it's still a terribly high number for this idiot.

I find it discouraging.

[geek tragedy]

4. we white voters, especially we white men, owe the voters of color in this country

an immeasurable debt

[trusty elf]

6. I agree!

Voters of color....

12. It is a point that many of us tried to make during the primaries and constantly found ourselves

shut down or silenced.

Democrats cannot win elections without the black vote. It is true for primary elections as well as for general elections. Black women, especially, have been the most politically active segment of the electorate.

Thanks so much!

18. I keep wondering where we'd be now if it wasn't Hillary ....

I don't see any of the other candidates being as stark of a rejection of Trump.

[AllyCat]

7. Horrifying

[rpannier]

3. At the rate he's going minority voter will refer to

people who are voting for Il Douche

[Quantess]

8. 50% of white people are out of their friggin' minds!

Who ARE these people?!

[MissMillie]

9. This is why the GOP

works so hard at voter suppression.

[ffr]

10. None of my family have ever been polled! So the HRC number is in accurate.

Our responses will appear in one poll though that you will all see. It comes in November.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

11. "Faces hurdles"? That makes it sound like he has a chance but "faces hurdles".

He doesn't face hurdles. We black people simply aren't voting for him no matter what he says or does. Will there be some misguided black folks supporting Chump? Sure, there are always black voters who want to be contrarian and who vote Republican. However, I am confident that the overwhelming majority of black American voters will not be voting for this racist asshole.

No way, no how.

[BLACK4EVER]

14. Not falling for the okey_doke

Mr. tRump is blowing smoke with his pronouncements of offering "hope" to us poor black voters. We done "peeped" the con he's trying to run. He realizes that he needs minority voters (black, brown, yellow, etc.) to win also he's speaking to the moderate white voter, trying to convince them that he's not a racist a**hole and it's okay to vote for him. I will NOT be voting for Trump because not only is he an a**hole but he''s not qualified to be President.

[Person 2713]

15. That's not a hurdle....Its a WAll . He can't get over it can't get under it or around it . No votes

for Trump
not happening
Stop the fantasy haters
No fish today

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

16. Ah yes! A bit of Parliament-Funkadelic poetry to brighten up my day!

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. The slither of black voters who will support Trump are most likely very religious, and possibly...

well to do. There's no other reason for a minority to support this con man.

[Wounded Bear]

17. He has a surprisingly large number of POC...

making the rounds on the TV machine talking head circuit.

Well, one would be a "surprisingly large number" IMHO, and I've seen several. They must be well paid. It's the only thing I can think of.

I can say the same thing about the women who do the same.
