CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 29, 2023
WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT POLLS, THE MODERN VERSION OF FORTUNE TELLERS — OFTEN WRONG, BUT ADDICTIVE FOR SOME.
STILL, THIS POLL IS INTERESTING AND MAY BE ACCURATE. IT’S FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES AND SIENA COLLEGE AND IT SHOWS THAT TWENTY-TWO PERCENT OF BLACK VOTERS IN SIX BATTLEGROUND STATES WOULD SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP IN 2024 AND SEVENTY-ONE PERCENT WOULD VOTE FOR PRERSIDENT BIDEN IN A THEORETICAL CONTEST.
THOSE NUMBERS SHOW THE PRESIDENT’S APPROVAL AMONG BLACK VOTERS, WHICH IS USUALLY IS FALLING TO A LEVEL THAT – IF IT STAYS – SPELLS DEEP TROUBLE FOR THE PRESIDENT’S RE-ELECTION. BIDEN GOT NINETY-TWO PERCENT OF THE BLACK VOTE IN 2020, COMPARED TO JUST EIGHT PERCENT FOR TRUMP.
PERHAPS THE FACT THAT DEMOCRATS TALK MORE THAN THEY PERFORM FOR BLACK AMERICANS IS SINKING IN. LOOK AT THE CRIME, INCLUDING MURDER, LOOTING AND CAR JACKING. LOOK AT THE DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF SO MANY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN POOR AND MINORITY COMMUNITIES AND THAT DEMOCRATS OPPOSE SCHOOL CHOICE.
IT’S A LONG WAY UNTIL ELECTION DAY, BUT IT’S HARD TO RESTORE TRUST ONCE IT’S BEEN LOST. I’M CAL THOMAS.
