A new CNN/Opinion Research poll shows that black people support Hillary over Obama.
Excuse me if I’m skeptical since the leader of the Opinion Research company, Vinod Gupta, is a major donor and fundraiser to the Clinton campaigns and foundations, spent time in the Lincoln Bedroom during the Clinton Administration, goes on vacation with the Clintons, built a “Bill Clinton Science and Technology Center” and a “Hillary Rodham Clinton Mass Communication Center” in India, gave the Clintons $3 million in consulting contracts, and the Clintons formerly held stock options in his company.
Searching for this pollster’s contributions to Hillary in the FEC reports doesn’t give me much more confidence in this poll.

If all that wasn’t enough, this pollster has already declared about Hillary, “She will be the next President.”
It reminds me of several weeks ago when an AP article came out where people expressed concerns about Hillary’s electability. Lo and behold, the very next day a new poll came out by CNN/Opinion Research group showing Americans believe Hillary is more electable.
Maybe it’s just me though. I could be biased. Maybe I’m overanalyzing things.
