NYT: Why Is Kamala Losing, and Trump Gaining, Black and Hispanic Votes?

On Friday, the NYT released a new poll showing Trump poised to win the most black votes since the Civil War.

Okay I made that last factoid up. But he's doing well.

Nearly eight out of 10 Black voters nationwide said they would vote for Ms. Harris, the poll found, a marked increase from the 74 percent of Black voters who said they would support Mr. Biden before he dropped out of the race in July. But Mr. Biden won 90 percent of Black voters to capture the White House by narrow margins in 2020, and the drop-off for Ms. Harris, if it holds, is large enough to imperil her chances of winning key battleground states.
Democrats have been banking on a tidal wave of support from Black voters, drawn by the chance to elect the first Black female president and by revulsion toward former President Donald J. Trump, whose questioning of Ms. Harris's racial identity, comments on "Black jobs" and demonizing of Haitian immigrants pushed his long history of racist attacks to the forefront of the campaign.
Ms. Harris is no doubt on track to win an overwhelming majority of Black voters, but Mr. Trump appears to be chipping away broadly at a longstanding Democratic advantage. His campaign has relied on targeted advertising and sporadic outreach events to court African American voters -- especially Black men -- and has seen an uptick in support. About 15 percent of Black likely voters said they planned to vote for the former president, according to the new poll, a six-point increase from four years ago.
Much of the erosion in support for Ms. Harris is driven by a growing belief that Democrats, who have long celebrated Black voters as the "backbone" of their party, have failed to deliver on their promises, the poll showed. Forty percent of African American voters under 30 said the Republican Party was more likely to follow through on its campaign commitments than Democrats were.
"They sweep table scraps off the table like we're a trained dog and say, 'This is for you,'" LaPage Drake, 63, of Cedar Hill, Texas, just outside Dallas, said of the Democratic Party. "And we clap like trained seals."
Mr. Drake, who owns a tree removal service, said he would back Mr. Trump.
"Regardless of how people call him racist and stuff, he is for the country of America," Mr. Drake said.

The NYT followed up with a Deep Dive into this unprecedented development -- voters actually deciding who to vote for based on announced policies and past results without taking race into it much.

What a terrible racist idea!

In 2016, Donald J. Trump became the Republican nominee and ultimately won the presidency after calling many Mexican immigrants rapists and falsely claiming that Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
Eight years later, the polls suggest that he might well return to the White House by faring better among Black and Hispanic voters combined than any Republican presidential nominee since the enactment of the Civil Rights Act in 1964.

Off to a great start, NYT.

As that MSNBC producer told James O'Keefe's honeypot agent, we now know all the major fake news outlets are completely dominated by "audience capture" -- the little remaining audience is self-selecting hard partisans.

And the Times has to be very careful when dealing with the fanatics they cater too. If they're going to admit that Trump is doing better with minorities, they have to blunt the impact of that by laying out various beloved factoids proving that Bad Orange Man is Bad.

A spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down is supposed to be a tactic used to placate little children.

Almost any way we can measure it, Mr. Trump is running as well or better among Black and Hispanic voters as any Republican in recent memory. In 2020, Joe Biden's Black support was 92 percent among major-party voters; his Hispanic support was 63 percent, according to Times estimates.
...
The truth is there are many explanations and they're hard to untangle. Here, I'll offer five explanations offered by the survey. This list is not comprehensive -- not even close. But each one plays a role in the story.
Before going on, an important thing to keep in mind: While Mr. Trump is doing far better than prior Republicans, he is still far from winning a majority of the Black or Hispanic vote. As a consequence, many of the factors helping Mr. Trump apply only to a minority of Black and Hispanic voters. Even so, Democrats have typically won these groups by such wide margins that even modest support by Black or Hispanic voters can lay the groundwork for politically significant gains.
1. They don't mind the dog whistles
To liberals, Mr. Trump's views on race, crime and immigration are little more than racist dog whistles.
Many Black and Hispanic voters feel similarly, but a surprising number hear those dog whistles and like what they're hearing.

Around 40 percent of Black voters and 43 percent of Hispanic voters say they support building a wall along the Southern border. Similarly, 45 percent of Hispanic voters and 41 percent of Black voters say they support deporting undocumented immigrants.
Half of Hispanic voters and nearly half -- 47 percent -- of Black voters say that crime in big cities is a major problem that's gotten out of control. That's essentially the same as the share of white voters (50 percent) who say the same.
The support for Mr. Trump's views extends beyond issues related to race and immigration. A majority of Black and Hispanic voters seem to sympathize with his "America First" foreign policy, saying that America ought to pay less attention to problems overseas and concentrate on problems at home. Previous Times/Siena surveys have found that a substantial share of Black and Hispanic voters agree with Mr. Trump on trade as well.
Or put differently: There's a lot about Mr. Trump's core populist, conservative message that resonates with a sizable chunk of Black and Hispanic voters.
2. They're not offended; they might even be entertained
Of course, Mr. Trump hasn't just used dog whistles in his campaigns. Sometimes, he's used a bullhorn.
During his time in national politics, he has offended millions of Black and Hispanic voters, including by recently saying that Haitian refugees eat cats and dogs and that undocumented immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country."
But a sizable minority of Black and Hispanic voters aren't necessarily so offended.
Overall, 20 percent of Black voters say that those offended by Mr. Trump take him too seriously, while 78 percent agree people have good reason to be offended.
Similarly, 40 percent of Hispanic voters say people offended by Mr. Trump take his words too seriously, while 55 percent say there's good reason to be offended. And importantly, only about one-third of Hispanic voters say Mr. Trump is talking about them when he's talking about problems with immigration.
Why aren't more Black and Hispanic voters offended by Mr. Trump? One possible factor: He hasn't necessarily offended them so much recently.
While most voters have been offended by Mr. Trump at some point, a substantial 53 percent of Hispanics and 35 percent of Black voters said they hadn't found anything he has said recently to be offensive. Those tallies are down a bit from earlier in the year -- perhaps the remarks about Haitian refugees are a factor -- but I'd guess more voters would have said they had been offended recently if we had asked the same question in the heart of the 2016 campaign.

This is part of the reason -- a smaller part -- Trump is generally doing better in polls.

Three national polls released Sunday depict a tightening presidential race, with former President Trump erasing recent gains from Vice President Kamala Harris with just 23 days to go.
Why it matters: Harris started to pull away from Trump in several national polls in September, but all three new polls show a neck-and-neck race nationally.
By the numbers:
An ABC/Ipsos poll of likely voters found Harris up 50% to Trump's 48%, down from a six-point lead for Harris last month.
A CBS/YouGov poll of likely voters showed Harris up 51% to 48%, down from a four-point lead in September.
An NBC poll of registered voters found a dead heat, 48% to 48% -- a major slide from 49% to 44% in Harris' favor last month.

Kamala Harris is now spending three full days, less than four weeks from the election, courting black men. It's not a good sign that she's forced to pander to what was supposed to be an unshakeable cadre of True Democrat Believers.

She went on "Charlemagne 'tha God's" podcast. Some black churchmen object to using a guy who calls himself 'tha God' to preach to believing Christians.

'Black Men Are Not Political Infants': Detroit Pastor Slams Harris for 'Exploiting' Black Voters, Says 'Virtue Signaling' Won't Work
October 15, 2024
A prominent black Detroit pastor slammed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris for "virtue signaling" and "exploiting" his community, saying that "black men are not political infants."

"We will not allow virtue signaling. We will not allow identity politics. Black men are not political infants," Pastor Lorenzo Sewell of Detroit's 180 Church said during an appearance on Fox & Friends, referring to Harris's recent outreach to black voters. "We know exactly what's happening with the Democratic Party. We know that they've exploited us for over six decades, and we are saying, just like Moses said to Pharaoh, 'Let my people go.'"
Sewell's remarks come in response to Harris's planned interview Tuesday evening with black podcaster and comedian Lenard Larry McKelvey, known professionally as Charlamagne tha God, in Detroit. The interview is part of Harris's campaign effort to regain support from black men in a key swing state as recent polls indicate her backing is slipping.
"I have never been so offended in my life," Sewell said. "She's bringing a man here who is Charlamagne, a false god, to a community that has 4,500 churches, all people of faith. We are extremely offended that she's bringing a podcaster here to talk to black men about politics."

The Times is angry that Trump is bringing his "grievance politics" to black Democrats, who, of course, have never, ever been exposed to the politics of grievance and so have no immunity to the infection built up.

A few months ago on CNN, Van Jones actually said that Latino and Black voters were turning against the Democratic Party not because they are thinking for themselves, but are being tricked and manipulated by evil foreign actors and malign influences:https://t.co/bkMXO1qWIH

Charlemagne "tha God's" show was not entirely the cakewalk Kamala was hoping for:

During a town hall interview on October 15, 2024, radio host Charlamagne tha God pressed Vice President Kamala Harris on her handling of key issues, including the border crisis. The event, aimed at boosting Harris's appeal to black voters just weeks before the election, quickly became confrontational as Charlamagne challenged Harris on both policy and perception.
The discussion around immigration grew heated when Charlamagne confronted Harris on the Biden administration's track record. "Y'all did get a lot of things wrong with the border," Charlamagne said, highlighting the administration's struggles in managing illegal immigration over the past three years. Border encounters surged to record highs under Harris's leadership before slightly declining in recent months. Harris pivoted, focusing on legislative efforts, such as a failed immigration bill, but Charlamagne wasn't satisfied with her response.
Charlamagne also took issue with Harris's long-winded answers, referring to her tendency to stick to prepared remarks as "filibustering." This frustration came to a head when Harris was asked about reparations for black Americans, which she again avoided answering directly, instead offering general economic policies. The host repeatedly tried to bring Harris back to the specific issue at hand, calling out her evasion tactics.
Throughout the hour-long session, Charlamagne continuously pressed Harris on other matters, including her past as a prosecutor, her stance on foreign aid, and marijuana convictions during her tenure as district attorney. The exchanges highlighted Harris's struggle to break away from scripted responses, drawing criticism that echoed broader voter concerns about her authenticity and handling of key issues like immigration.

CHARLAMAGNE: "Doesn't the Biden administration have to take some blame for the border, though? A lot of the blame? The first three years, you all did get a lot of things wrong."

It has always amazed me how many people will tell you they want "rightwing" policies and then vote for a leftwing candidate.

It is an example of the power of the FNM but frankly if you aren't going to actually think about what policies a pol will give you if elected you shouldn't vote.

In one forum I was in someone posted $100 of groceries now vs 4 years ago. The leftwing response fell into two categories:

1) You have granite counter tops you aren't allowed to complain about food prices. Also they aren't higher you are just racist. Oh and you bought the wrong food!

2) Food is cheap if you steal it. Let's talk about self checkout!

27 I think Trump looks incredibly strong at this moment in time, I'm optimistic he wins.

That being said, I really hate the idea of relying on black men to flip Republican. I feel like every election this hope gets trotted out and never comes to pass.

I remember looking up exit polling for Trump in previous elections, he ended up with like 1% more of the black vote than Mitt Romney. Which is "something" (like a 10% increase), but not a political earthquake. Maybe this time is different?

Playing defense to hold what you have in this kind of election is kind of big deal, I think.

52 The Democrat's transgender agenda doesn't resonate with blacks. Probably because nearly every single face of this movement is white. That's one thing. Likely a minor one.

The other thing, and I believe it's more significant, is the Democrats total abandonment of the blacks in favor of the newcomers... Hispanics and their offshoots. Blacks have been displaced at the front of the free shit line by the illegals. The blacks are seeing first hand how much money, housing, food, job assistance, etc. the illegals are getting and they are royally pissed off.

I find it hard to believe that somehow, someway all that will suddenly be reversed with "Coconut Jubilee" Harris and "Walz with Kiddies."

59 Sorry, but it wasn’t so long ago we were promised a “red wave”. In fact we were assured of it in some circles. This race is far from over and I think. At least a little humility is in order.

62 Maybe that's why Trump is going into major strongholds like NYC--to shake things up a bit and put the Dems on their heels defending their current territory so they can't campaign as hard in swing states where it matters more.

It would also be incredibly useful if Trump took a majority of the popular vote, which certainly seems possible.

It's worth a rally or two in blue areas to try to achieve that.

If you can find it, watch it. Wynter wasn’t particularly good at overriding the interviewer’s crap. But you have to look at the ridiculously smug face on the guy the interviewer brought in to help attack Wynter.

Building a wall--morons--is a POLICY not a "dog-whistle".

Why resort to narratives OVER neutral facts?

One of the drawbacks to building that wall CAN BE that it is "racist". But again, that does not make the policy itself a "dog whistle".

It definitely can't be that to Hispanics, unless we were to invoke a farcical narrative that says that >40% of Hispanics are "self-hating". And then do not "extraordinary claims" require "extraordinary evidence"?

This is why I don't take Ted Cruz seriously. Mitch didn't fund Ted the last time around either. No bill that Cruz is putting his name behind is getting passed through Mitch - his name is mud with the guy. Mitch himself said that Cruz was the most unpopular senator in the chamber. With all of that, however, Cruz could not be moved to openly advocate for another Leader of the Senate, even when it was (and is) clear that Mitch is ineffective and inarticulate and years past his prime. Have any R Senators openly called for Mitch to step down, even at this point? You can't tell me that that's impossible - Pelosi told a sitting US President to stop his reelection campaign -- and he did.

123 Some early morning thoughts on reparations. No serious person considers this logical, possible, or helpful. Which is why it is inevitable.

- Who is black? Will it be self selected? DNA? Peter Griffith's color chart?
- What about Lincoln's inaugural "until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword" - Doesn't that count?
- Do all blacks get money, or only former slaves.
- Do all whites pay, or only those descended from those here during slavery/jim crow
- Seems unfair, former slave owner's kids will be paid, non slave owners will pay
- What about immigrants? Hispanics? Those who voluntarily migrated here? Those subject to other forms of discrimination (Jews and Catholics for instance.)?
- Will poor whites have to kick in to pay the likes of Obama - half white, immigrated, wealthy, useless?
- What about the trillions paid in welfare and other programs? seems whites are owed money
- what about the costs of black crime? Again, trillions.

And the granddaddy of all the questions -- How is this gonna help? Doesn't all evidence show that the worst thing you can do for black families and culture is to throw more free money at them?

139 This is why I don't take Ted Cruz seriously. Mitch didn't fund Ted the last time around either. No bill that Cruz is putting his name behind is getting passed through Mitch - his name is mud with the guy. Mitch himself said that Cruz was the most unpopular senator in the chamber. With all of that, however, Cruz could not be moved to openly advocate for another Leader of the Senate, even when it was (and is) clear that Mitch is ineffective and inarticulate and years past his prime. Have any R Senators openly called for Mitch to step down, even at this point? You can't tell me that that's impossible - Pelosi told a sitting US President to stop his reelection campaign -- and he did.

And yes, I remember that he promised to step aside. I just don't believe him because he's a lying piece of shit.

And if Hogan wins his Senate seat, he'll be instrumental in making sure that Mitch retains power.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison

I think Mitch is gone and I don't think Hogan is going to win Maryland either.

Mitch's cronies have dwindled to about a dozen or so and a lot of the GOP senators are looking forward to being in the majority. If Mitch causes that to go sideways, I think the rest of them dump him regardless and even more likely if Trump wins.

Mitch is damaged goods and beginning to affect the one thing that GOP Senate members care about--getting reelected. Shivving someone like Cruz means Mitch can do it to others which is why better to kill the king right after the elections anyway.

The question is whether they want one of Mitch's stooges like Thune or Cornyn or someone from the opposite block.

You only need 25-26 or so and Mitch has now presided over 3 bad election cycles for the GOP in the Senate caused directly by him and his staff.

"Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire since Oct. 8, 2023, when the militant group began launching rockets at Israeli military positions in solidarity with its Palestinian ally Hamas."

What got me was at the end when he insisted that without open borders we will all be poor and half the guys in the room will have to sell one of their mansions.

You see, unless you bring in millions of occasional workers, often criminals, always welfare recipients, and massive users of government services, the US GDP might drop a fraction of a point.

That is, if you count GDP as government paying gov. workers and handing out money to foreigners to buy stuff at Amazon. (Funny, I thought the P stood for "production" and I don't seem much produced by gov. workers or debt.)

It is all a grift to steal money from the fisc and hand it to business owners. The migrants are just middle men to suck the tax payers and future generations dry. We are already dry and in debt. I hated that guy and I wish Trump had body slammed him.

Because none of those states are all mail in ballot fraud states like out west in CA, WA, OR, CO, and now AZ, GOP has a chance. Area voters are also older, more liberal, and whiter than the rest of the country which makes for an odd region politically.

That said, Trump is very, very effective. While Mickelthwait tried to win with 'data' and 'facts', Trump told stories. He wasn't speaking to the Chicago Economic Club as much as he was to Middle America, where his stories resonate.

Because the single women vote may be 60-40 for Harris, but that is dwarfed by the under-40 male vote that Trump is winning 60-40.
Harris ain't going on that Charlamagne doofus and talking up going on Rogan 'cause her Swifties are coasting her to victory.

Crosstabs are dumb. It probably won't be that, even just isolated in GA.

However, I keep entertaining the idea that Kamala will lose men more than Trump loses women.

I just can't wait for the media to ignore the Democrat failure with men to focus on how Trump needs to make his entire agenda about childless cat ladies instead of the people who sent him to office because it's the only way to be presidentin'.

This really is the definition of a pyramid scheme.
but first - it is false since migrants are costing us trillions. How is that helping to pay for SSI?
It increases GDP, but that is easy when debt counts and we are destroying the culture that built the GDP
GDP is a useless number. If you double population GDP will rise even if everyone is poorer. GDP/capita is more important, and more important than that is average wealth of citizens.

But if it takes doubling the population every 20 years to pay off SSI, then eventually we will run out of people to import.

Trump could use the DOJ to investigate Congress as agents of foreign powers in order to clean up the corruption there. Democrat, Independent, and GOP voters by and large recognize that our Congress has been bought by foreign powers malicious to the US. Act Blue smurfing, foreign money from assholes like Wyss (Swiss billionaire funding referendums and leftist political groups here) and so on.

It also paralyzes Congress as an institution to come up with lame brained impeachments or harassment of the administration via intel community backchannels.

Investigate the IC and their military counterparts like Milley too. Recall his ass to active duty along with his douchebag cronies and try him for insubordination etc. in his China calls and more.

He wasn't speaking to the Chicago Economic Club as much as he was to Middle America, where his stories resonate. Bloomberg is trying to write Fact Check stories on their site after the fact today, but the truth is that Trump won hands down. If JD is a scalpel, Trump is a sledgehammer. A very effective one.

Politics is a lot more about the heart for most folks than a dry recital of factoids, studies, research, etc. Part of it, many of those factoids, studies, and research are in fact crap and some of it is simply made up crap proposed by someone in authority (six foot distancing rule anyone?).

290 It's why I'm usually hesitant to support female Republican candidates.

I'm hesitant because most women - Margaret Thatcher being a notable exception - want to be liked, and therefore are easily swayed.

Men will look you in the eye and tell you to GFY, but most women want everyone to like them, and so are disinclined to throw down like that.

That is why you start by investigating your enemies. Start with the Lawfare project and direct action via denial of civil rights and liberties charges directed at Leticia, the asshole judge in the Trump Organization case, the dumbass prosecutors in NY and GA, and so on.

Investigate the Brookings Institute among others for acting as foreign agents for Muslim Brotherhood and China via funding. Do the same with Capitol Hill and the Chamber of Commerce. etc.

Embedded ticks need to be burned out of American society and that includes the rank and fetid whorehouse on Capitol Hill that specializes in screwing the American public for wealth, power and just for kicks.

or

2.) Waiting till election day and voting for Trump in person to give the Deep State less time to figure out how much they need to cheat.

--------

[NC is a] R+5 state by registration while Dems are underrunning their 2022 VBM by 18 net points to Rs in requests.

Not a competitive state.

I really, really think NC is going to be called within 30 minutes of polls closing.

That appears to be ending. People here do not like them but MTG, Luna, Bachman (not in office now), are playing by new rules. I think part of it is an age thing--Democratic women got societal pass to act that way (Killary, Ferraro, Pelosi, etc.) but GOP female candidates tried to be softer and nicer to distinguish themselves in primaries from those mean white men candidates.

That trend appears to be ending .

315 What I like best about Harris' proposals is they are as tone-deaf and appealing to black men as the GOPe proposing another round of corporate tax cuts.

I'll pull this back in, but the head of Kamala's PA campaign is Nikki Le.
She's never had a job outside of government and unions her whole life.
She received her masters in Pittsburg in 2013. Barely ten years ago.

That, that is the seasoned, wise and experienced person they put in charge of her must-win state.
What a shitshow.

Vote early if you are in a Dem shithole with the election run by Dems as they will screw you up on election day like they did in AZ Maricopa County in 2022.

GOP voters there faced long lines as the machines did not work, the paper for the ballots jammed the readers because it was not compliant, and so on.

Rural area, solid GOP run elections, etc. then vote when you feel like it.

DIEversity affects the Dems in particular as those activists pushing that shit in government, ngos, and corporations come from teh same pool as the new Dem party organizers.

They are selected for their race, politics, and gender (sexuality), rather than competence at doing their job. Why expect different results when DIEversity is applied to teh Dem party itself.

Same shit is killing Big Tech too. Activists are there to mooch a living, not to make things or sell things.

I see a fair number of nics here giving them shit and that is precisely because they don't fit a narrow traditional GOP femininity and they are harsher on those GOP women than some faceless drone McConnell sell out like Cindy Hyde something or other (MS and recent former Dem) or Ernst in IA.

I find their toadying to the loathsome slug McConnell far more disgusting than anything Boebert did with her date.

Political whoredom for enemies of this country is far worse than any sex in their personal life that an officeholder does like Mace or Boebert.

It's all she has left. The illegal immigrants will be used as vehicles to try and juice her vote counts. Hence the issue with the recent Georgia court case, as well as Arizona. Trump is probably going to win the popular vote. Harris will trying to steal with razor thin margins in the swing states buttressed by illegal alien balloting.
