Joe Biden remains top choice for Black voters, according to new poll

[Scurrilous]

Despite taking multiple jabs over his record on race in the debates, he is doing consistently well among African American voters

"Former Vice President Joe Biden, likely still popular for his time in the White House with President Obama, is still doing well among Black voters, according to a recent poll.

Despite some negative stories that continue to surface about Joe Biden’s voting record on race, and a surprise attack from presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris in the first Democratic debate in June, Biden still remains the frontrunner among African-American voters, according to NBC News.

In a recent Quinnipiac poll, 53 percent of Black Democratic primary voters said they supported Biden. This compares to 8 percent who back Sanders, 7 percent who say they’ll vote for Harris, and out of the remaining candidates, none received more than 5 percent of the tally.

This poll seems to mesh well with an earlier NBC/WSJ poll taken in early July where 46 percent of Black respondents said they supported Biden and 17 percent supported Harris."

4. But, but ...

He referred to Sen Harris as 'kid'.

"Take it easy on me, kid."

7. I may have thought Joe's use of the word "kid" was

un-collegial and inappropriate. But I never thought it was based on race. It attacked her by framing her as less — as a neophyte which is inaccurate. And I don’t think anyone who found the remark offensive (like myself) ever thought it was going to turn off the black community just because Kamala is black.

5. It's a "recent" poll, not one taken after last night's debate.

A new one.might be the same but this is predebate.
