Richest districts are Dems, Poorest are Republicans

[gwb-trading]

From your source

Exit polls suggest that in the past 12 presidential elections (so 1972 and every one since), the Republican candidate won only about 10 percent of the black vote, on average; the Democrat averaged 87 percent.

Yes... and your point is what?

The percentage of blacks who voted a Republican for president does not align with the percentage of blacks who generally voted for Republicans in other federal, state and local elections. One political contest is just subset of the entire sample of all elections - as 538 points out

Where does it say


16% of Blacks generally voted Republican over the past two decades.

"Blacks voted overwhelmingly (90%) for the Democratic candidate, including comparable shares of black men (88%) and black women (92%)."

Btw,blacks are moderate and conservative in many ways but wont vote republican because of racism.Things like republicans support for the confederacy,most republicans supporting George Zimmerman,white supremacist support of the republican party,trying to end affirmative action,trying to stop them from voting etc.

I think you are missing the point here.

With a large number of blacks identifying as conservatives or moderates -- they are ripe for picking away from the Democratic party.

I will agree that the Republicans will need to put forward candidates and an agenda that address many of the issues in the black community with employment and education. I will also agree that Republicans will need to ditch candidates that support what I will call "confederate" agenda items to bring blacks back to the Republican party.

Despite your continual portrayal of the South in negative light - the reality is that the switch of many blacks back to the Republican party is likely to start here. This is due to a number of factors including:

• There are many black religious conservatives in the South.
• Traditionally many blacks supported the Republican party for decades in the South before 1970. The family histories run deep with black Republicans.
  
• In the South - unlike the rest of the U.S. - blacks and whites live side-by-side. We have the most integrated schools, workplaces, neighborhoods, and the highest percentage of blacks who hold local & state offices.
• A large number of blacks are moving back to the South for better opportunities (as noted in other ET threads). Most of these blacks are middle class and bring more economic based Republican perspectives with them.

So once again you are merely pointing to a single election year --- not the entire sample set over a couple of decades. Yes, it is easy to cherry pick information. You can cherry pick 2018 or you can cherry pick the Trump results in 2016. If you are cherry picking information should state a citation of the year/election you are referencing --- and not try to assert it is across all elections.

Jones benefitted from near-unanimous support from black voters, historically large support from whites


Fully 96 percent of African Americans supported Jones, similar to President Obama’s 95 percent support among this group in 2012.

Democrats Draw Vivid Lesson From Alabama: Mobilize Black Voters

By JOHN ELIGON
DEC. 14, 2017

Amid the Democrats’ celebration over their success in turning out a huge number of black voters in the Senate election in Alabama, party leaders, activists and operatives are seeing a vivid message to increase outreach, mobilizatifund investment in minority communities.

In the wake of Doug Jones’s victory Tuesday over Roy S. Moore, some Democrats are making the case that the party erred in recent years by failing to put enough of its resources into engaging with black communities, who helped produce the stunning upset in Alabama on Tuesday — and who turned out heavily in Virginia last month as well
