-It's a poll of African Americans
-
across the United States.
-
We asked them how they feel about life in America,
-
in general, but we also honed in
-
on how they feel about the different primary candidates
-
and kinda how they were making their decisions.
-
One of the biggest factors for African American voters,
-
as well as voters, you know, who are not African American,
-
is whether or not they feel that a candidate can beat Trump,
-
whether that candidate can go head-to-head with Trump and win.
-
And that's a large part of the reason
-
that Joe Biden is leading,
-
because people feel like he can beat Trump
-
and that makes him the most electable.
-
Pete Buttigieg doesn't do particularly well
-
in a head-to-head matchup with Trump.
-
He would win, if the election were today.
-
He wouldn't win by as much as a Joe Biden
-
or a Bernie Sanders or an Elizabeth Warren.
-
When asked who they prefer, which candidate they prefer,
-
Democratic-leaning African American voters,
-
I think just 2% said Pete Buttigieg.
-
There's a couple of reasons that African Americans
-
largely prefer Joe Biden, according to our survey.
-
One is the fact that he was Obama's vice president.
-
They feel like Biden would mean a continuation
-
of the Obama-era policies that they like.
-
Many of the voters have said, "Look, we know who Joe Biden is.
-
We know the good. We know the bad.
-
We know the history. We know the track record.
-
We know what we're getting".
-
That history with Biden, for right or wrong,
-
is a big part of his staying power.
-
Kamala Harris went after Joe Biden in a Democratic debate.
-
-It was hurtful to hear you talk
-
about the reputations of two United States senators
-
who built their reputations and career
-
on the segregation of race in this country.
-
-Cory Booker has called out Joe Biden
-
in a Democratic debate.
-
-This week, I hear him literally say that,
-
"I don't think we should legalize marijuana".
-
I thought you might've been high when you said it.
-
-And through it all, you know,
-
Biden has been relatively consistent
-
with African American voters.
-
They're pretty loyal to him.
-
Black voters are probably the most consistently loyal bloc
-
for the Democratic Party.
-
Many people will say, you know, a Democrat can't win
-
unless they prove that they can pull
-
in a significant number of Black voters.
-
-We have not relegated racism and white supremacy
-
to the pages of history.
-
But the greatness of this nation has always been,
-
and must continue to be, that we still strive to relegate it.
-
-Amen.
