Black Voter Misrepresentation in Polls
Public polls have reported varying percentages of black voters supporting Donald Trump, but data from Hit Strategies, based on conversations with 1200 black individuals, indicates a lower percentage at around 9 to 12% supporting Trump. The discrepancy is attributed to smaller sample sizes in public polls, leading to misleading results. Black voters prioritize issues concerning the cost of living, such as rising gas prices, education expenses, housing costs, and healthcare fees, over traditional economic indicators like job creation and stock market performance.
