    It is in fact a real question, because Trump has made significant inroads into that demographic. Given how tight the margins are, Dems need to be pulling in all of the black, male voters.

    Anecdotally, I’ve known a handful of black men in my area that support Trump. All of them also smoke a ton of weed, so there’s a lot of cognitive dissonance there.

      Trump has made significant inroads into that demographic.

      From approximately 0% during the Obama presidency to the low 20s against Hillary.

      But right in line with what Republicans have normally received going back to the 70s.

      All of them also smoke a ton of weed, so there’s a lot of cognitive dissonance there.

      No, that tracks.
