Amongst African Americans primary voters, Bernie's favorability / unfavorability ratings:
[font face = courier]
July 20-21 Favorable: 21%, Unfavorable: 40%
Aug. 23-30 Favorable: 38%, Unfavorable: 19%
`Change ` Favorable: +17%, Unfavorable: -21%[/font]

Probably all within the margin of error and all that, bad sampling, maybe only called landlines, PPP is infested with Bernistas, polls in August have historically been unreliable, the summer's almost over and people are depressed and not thinking straight, the numbers are not seasonally adjusted nor inflation-adjusted, or something or all of the above I bet

Besides they never called me or anybody I know, so do we know for sure that this is a real poll? I doubt it. {1}

Anyway, the rate of change of Bernie's favorability and unfavorability is just a fraction of one percent a day, barely more than half a percent a day. The primaries are just around the corner, too little time for Bernie to catch up at this slow-poke rate.



(Ooops, just noticed I'm in the Bernie Sanders Group. )

{1} Some idiot actually used this line on me in a message board argument, I kid you not.
