Just a slight shift to the truth has killed his numbers
Twitter and the like being able to daily report on the evidence coming out also hurts him
This is going to be interesting to watch. I am curious how far Newsome gets. The arrogant ass has destroyed his home state and yet he thinks he is going to be the next President. Talk about your lack of reflection.
But perhaps more alarming to the Biden-Harris campaign camp was a key statistic buried within the poll: Trump is favored by 22% of the Black voters — a modern high for any Republican presidential nominee.
"In a remarkable sign of a gradual racial realignment between the two parties, the more diverse the swing state, the farther Mr. Biden was behind," wrote the Times' Shane Goldmacher, "and he led only in the whitest of the six [states]."
Should the vote actually turn out in 2024 the way the poll shows, it would be the largest percentage of Black voters to support a Republican presidential candidate since Richard Nixon got roughly 36 percent of the Black vote in 1960.
And should Trump be nominated and go on to capture the 22% among Black voters, he would almost surely defeat Biden in key battleground states with large Black populations such as Michigan and Pennsylvania.
He would also win as many as 300 electoral votes nationwide — well above the 270 required to elect a president.
Political analysts did not react with much surprise to the figures from the Times/Siena polling.
"It seems a little high, but we can see it coming," Bill Ballenger, editor of the much-read, on-line The Ballenger Report on Michigan politics, told Newsmax.
In Michigan, the poll showed the former president leading Biden 48-to-43 percent among likely voters.
"His aggressive, non-traditional approach appeals to many people regardless of ethnicity or race," said Wayne Thorburn, former executive director of the Texas Republican Party and author of two critically-acclaimed books on Texas politics.
Just can't win though
