Despite taking multiple jabs over his record on race in the debates, he is doing consistently well among African American voters<snip>
"Former Vice President Joe Biden, likely still popular for his time in the White House with President Obama, is still doing well among Black voters, according to a recent poll.
Despite some negative stories that continue to surface about Joe Bidens voting record on race, and a surprise attack from presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris in the first Democratic debate in June, Biden still remains the frontrunner among African-American voters, according to NBC News.
In a recent Quinnipiac poll, 53 percent of Black Democratic primary voters said they supported Biden. This compares to 8 percent who back Sanders, 7 percent who say theyll vote for Harris, and out of the remaining candidates, none received more than 5 percent of the tally.
This poll seems to mesh well with an earlier NBC/WSJ poll taken in early July where 46 percent of Black respondents said they supported Biden and 17 percent supported Harris."

(5,865 posts)un-collegial and inappropriate. But I never thought it was based on race. It attacked her by framing her as less as a neophyte which is inaccurate. And I dont think anyone who found the remark offensive (like myself) ever thought it was going to turn off the black community just because Kamala is black.
