Black Votes Matter For Clinton In New York, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds..April 12, 2016

April 12, 2016 - Black Votes Matter For Clinton In New York, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Trump Sweeps All Groups Against Cruz Or Kasich


With a 65 - 28 percent lead among black voters, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tops Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont 53 - 40 percent among New York State likely Democratic primary voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Today's results show little movement from a March 31 survey showing Clinton over Sanders 54 - 42 percent and Trump with 56 percent, followed by Cruz at 20 percent and Kasich at 19 percent.

Black voters matter for Secretary Hillary Clinton in the New York Democratic primary," said Quinnipiac University Poll Assistant Director Maurice Carroll.

"She leads Sen. Bernie Sanders in many New York demographic groups except the young folks and very liberal voters, but it's a huge lead among black voters that gives her a comfortable double-digit margin."

"Gender counts, too. New York women like the idea of nominating the first woman president.

"At this sort-of-late stage in the primary marathon, voters' minds are pretty well made up. Four out of five supporters of each Democrat say they won't switch," Carroll added.

This has ***always*** been true.

Too bad BS has poo-pooed this fact, despite the truer fact that most black Americans live in the South.
