"Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders saw his support among black voters crater by more than half in a national poll amid a roiling controversy over his decision to brag about an endorsement by comic Joe Rogan, and stand by it after the comic’s history of bigoted remarks emerged.

Sanders was enjoying a bit of a surge with black voters in the weekly Economist/YouGov poll, going from 12 percent three weeks ago to 17 percent the following week in a poll that was taken two days after Sanders tweeted a video of Rogan praising the candidate’s consistency and saying he would “probably” vote for Sanders.

But in the most recent poll, taken Sunday through Tuesday of this week, Sanders’ support among black voters has plunged to eight percent.

There’s no way of telling exactly what caused the swing, but the Rogan controversy began to erupt just before last week’s poll was taken, as past comments by Rogan — including a clip in which he compared a black neighborhood to the fictional Planet of the Apes — began circulating, and the Sanders campaign responded by standing by their embrace of the endorsement in spite of those comments."

AOC: A Society With Billionaires Cannot Be Moral

'Cutting right to the point, Coates asked if it’s possible to live in a moral society that includes billionaires.

“No, it’s not,” she responded. “I’m not saying that Bill Gates or Warren Buffet are immoral, but a system that allows billionaires to exist when there are parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don’t have access to public health is wrong.”

8. First of all Sanders doesn't get a pass for celebrating an endorsement from Rogan...who is a racist.

Secondly, it makes AA voters who might have given Sanders a chance reconsider which makes it less likely Sanders will be the nominee...and that helps everyone because Sanders will lose a General...although yes he has my vote should he be the nominee.

12. That poll shows Bernie's favorability among Blacks still high

The 8% is quite a slide in confidence on the question of 'who would you vote for'. Also, looking at second choice. Liz is doing best at 12% Bernie at 10% (also pre-Iowa). I haven't seen any recent national polls since Iowa. In fact, where's the California poll that was scheduled to come out Thursday? Why are there no new Nevada or South Carolina polls? Does anyone else find that odd? Not to mention, no New York polls at all.

Guess we'll only get to see after Super Tuesday. Plus Bloomberg - that'll put a whole new spin and media cycle on the whole thing! This is very exhausting!!!

15. Even 17% is a disaster waiting to happen. nt.
