**Quinn Poll**- Among African American Voters It's Joe 25% Mike 22% Bernie 19%

[DemocratSinceBirth]

PER CNN

I think I will keep my counsel to myself on what these numbers mean. I'll let you draw your own inferences.

[left-of-center2012]

1. Biden's in decline

Bloomberg is on the rise.

[HerbChestnut]

2. Mike "Stop and Frisk" Bloomberg...

How are AA's supporting this guy? Is it the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of advertisements?

[squirecam]

3. It means that the majority of the base of the party

Would rather have any other old white man instead of Sanders.

[bluewater]

5. By your logic, the majority of the base of the party rejects Biden & Bloomberg too.

They all differ by just a few % points after all.

[squirecam]

13. The votes that used

To belong to Biden went mostly to Bloomberg.

That’s a rejection of Sanders. He came from nowhere to Almost tying Biden.

Sanders already had around 15% or so. He didn’t gain that much.

[bluewater]

14. Thanks for agreeing that your logic was a bit off.

The majority of the base of the party seems split between 3 candidates in that poll.

No one has over 50%, no one has been "rejected", voters are just divided about whom they support.

But if it matters, Biden is the candidate that LOST THE MOST SUPPORT.

Hard to look at that in any other light, right?

[Tom Rinaldo]

7. Careful about implications

One could also imply that the majority of the base of the party would rather have an old white man than a woman or someone from the Midwest.

In any regard these numbers are due to shuffle again after the NH results but, from this, it no longer looks like any single candidate has a solid lock on the African American vote

[squirecam]

12. Biden used to have almost half the vote locked up

Now he has only a quarter. And Bloomberg got most of it.

I’d say the implications are pretty clear.

[groundloop]

4. Yep..... Money talks

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. And those billions are soon gonna walk once Bernie kickstarts the vetting of Mike's mayorial record

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[Mike 03]

6. I'm not a political analyst, but what I'm taking away from this is that

beating Trump has superseded any other concern, any other policy concern, period.

What's happening now is hard for me to understand or synthesize. I don't know how else to interpret this.

[Cha]

8. Kick For Joe Biden.. that's my "conclusion".

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. UHHH OHHH... say it ain't so!! Bernie's poll numbers continue to rise at the expense of Joe...

It's just a fact, as I've been predicting for months!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[LanternWaste]

35. More of the suRgE nonsense, eh?

[totodeinhere]

11. Joe is toast. He made a big mistake taking the AA vote for granted. n/t

[bluewater]

15. ikr

[Scurrilous]

18. Put some jam on that.

20. +1, there's something very cynical in saying "no one asked me about stop and frisk until ...

... I ran for president"

I can imagine what he'd say about Chicago which isn't in the top 10 when it comes to crime.

[Scurrilous]

23. Yep.

This is going to hurt.

[LanternWaste]

36. Creative little bumper sticker.

And of course, as objective data to support it is irrelevant to little bumper stickers, I can certainly understand why you fail to provide it.

[Bumperstickers]

16. No one has gone after Bloombergs stop and frisk via tv ads

Wait till Styer blasts him with his million dollar tv ad buys. Bloomberg's numbers will drop like a rock and we will be back to square one.

Styer said on Chuck Todd today he was one of the progressive candidates and he thinks Sanders would be a great President if it's not him in so many words. So i think Styer is there to offset Bloomberg's ad buys.

[Scurrilous]

17. Not for long.

[Kaleva]

22. Trump & his supporters aren't going to get much mileage trying to attack Bloomberg as a racist.

[uponit7771]

24. Attacking Bloomberg as not that great of difference is still horrible.

[Kaleva]

25. A person would have to be out on the fringe to say there isn't much differance between Trump...

and Bloomberg.

[uponit7771]

26. When it comes to race? Hell no. Bloomberg has years of denigrating minorities to justify his S&F

... policies then said months ago no one asked him about S&F before he ran for president.

I don't see how in the hell that works in the general

[Kaleva]

28. Do you really see Trump being able to label Bloomberg as a racist in the general?

Or anyone else trying to argue that a Bloomberg presidency would be just as harmful to POC as the Trump presidency is?

I think you'll agree that Bloomberg as president would be many times better for everyone then having Trump re-elected.

[uponit7771]

29. YES !!! Trump will label me a short white male if I ran against him the issue is there being no ...

... iota of truth to it makes Trump look like an idiot.

When it comes to Bloomberg and race I don't see that happening relative to Bloombergs extensive past of saying the nastiest shit about non-whites and crime.

Not just a couple of ignorant statements IE Bloombergs " no one told me " bullshit just sounds like the most cynical crap.

Also, what has his progressives and liberal record been in NY when it comes to CJR ?!

He couldn't win in NY as a democrat so he ran as a republican !?

We'll see, I don't see why Bloomberg is in the race

[Kaleva]

32. But you'll agree that Bloomberg as president would be many times better then Trump?

For everyone and that includes POC.

[uponit7771]

33. Of course but I'd like greater than slightly. after seeing Bloomberg's litany of statements about..

... minorities and his justification of S&F I'd like something better than "no one talked to me about S&F" BS.

I don't see a changed mind or heart on that issue with Bloomberg.

[redqueen]

34. And yet so many Dems seem to love him.

[Scurrilous]

37. Yep.

[uponit7771]

19. Outlier at best

30. Jason Johnson was on with Nicolle Wallace last week

He was talking about what he was hearing in the AfAm community in his travels to MLK day and Black History month events. He said the AfAm community is absolutely terrified that Trump could win again and they are 100% focused on who can beat Trump. He said he heard a lot of unprompted talk about Bloomberg among the people he's encountered on his recent travels. He said AfAms are willing to overlook "stop and frisk" and support him if they believe he can beat Trump. Given this assessment, it shouldn't be that surprising that so much AfAm support has shifted to Bloomberg given Biden's showing in Iowa and perhaps also in NH.

[Laelth]

39. I believe that. It matches what I have heard.

I also note that African American democrats are more amenable to gun control than other democrats. This plays to Bloomberg's hand.

-Laelth

[writes3000]

40. Yep! Exactly!

[brooklynite]

31. Based on analysis I heard last night...African Americans are prioritizing defeating Trump.

[Laelth]

38. It means that Bloomberg is doing quite well.

That's about all I see, personally. That's all that is "new" about these results, in any event.

Now, please share. Tell us what you think.
