But we'll proceed with NAACP president Derrick Johnson writing about some potentially important unusual research…This poll… analyzed the views of African-American, or white,Latino, Asian-American and Native American voters in 61 of the nation’s most competitive midterm races. We found that African-Americans stand to play a key role in 21 of these races, or making up from 7 to 24 percent of the voting-age population. In 31 of the key races,voters of color represent 20 to 78 percent of the voting-age population and are positioned to have a meaningful impact.
Based on this, we expect their perceptions of Mr. Trump’s racism and his party’s acceptance of it will motivate them to cast votes for Democratic candidates.
Perhaps we're seeing the makings of a backlash against the backlash against the first black president.
