:lol:
That :lol: is extremely appropriate wes...

The guy who falsely claims not to believe polls (despite all the posts he's made showing that he's perfectly happy to believe them if they conform to his preconceived fantasies...) cherry picks this one HUGE outlier to hold up as some sort of proof of Fearful Leaders African-American support...(And then of course, just like his hero, as Ray points out he lies to try and make it even better)

That's hilarious, and well worthy of: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Far more representative of the majority of recent polls measuring Trump's support among black voters is this one:
Poll: Overwhelming majority of black voters back any 2020 Democrat over Trump

An overwhelming majority of black voters — 85 percent — said in a new Hill-HarrisX poll that they would choose any Democratic presidential candidate over President Trump.

The survey, which was released on Monday, found this sentiment to be particularly true among black voters along partisan lines.

Ninety-eight percent of black voters who identify as Democrat, and 72 percent of those who identify as independent said they would back whoever ultimately becomes the Democratic nominee over Trump. Just 12 percent of black voters who identify as Republican said the same.

Black voters are considered a key voting bloc with the Democratic Party, particularly in states like South Carolina where they make up a significant proportion of the electorate.

I noticed that in another thread you made the eye-popping assertion that you rarely lie...

I can only assume from that that you must never lie at all in any other area of your life and save it all up for this forum, or perhaps you simply don't know what a lie is...

Since you've said that you couldn't think of a single example of where Trump has lied, that's a very real possibility...

Trump Approval Among Blacks Tops 34 Percent in Emerson Poll
https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-app ... 55737.html

With approval erosion like this our porn star POTUS is in for a heap o'trouble.
As reported in "The Epoch Times." Who? Oh:
Though the newspaper has been known for general interest topics with a focus on news about China and its human rights issues, it is becoming known for its support of U.S. President Donald Trump and favorable coverage of right-wing politicians in Europe; a 2019 report showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign itself.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The newspaper is part of the Epoch Media Group, which also operates New Tang Dynasty Television (NTD).[7] The group's news sites and YouTube channels are known for spreading conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccination propaganda.[7]

For some reason I get ads for Epoch Times when I go to youtube. Very pro Trump. Having said that, they are actually accurately quoting the Emerson poll FWIW.

Taking this at face value, if black voters support Trump at 34% and white males support him at 58% in the same poll, I take this to mean that black voters are around 50% smarter than the average Caucasian guy. I have an epistemolical objection to making generalized conclusions based on a single data point but I'll make an exception in this case.

They are, but there is a reason why it was left to Epoch Times, Breitbart, and that ilk to quote that number from the poll, when Emerson refused to do so in its own release. And that is because, while the overall sample size of 1092 is, wes's abject ignorance of statistical sampling notwithstanding, sufficient to draw conclusions within a reasonable margin of error (+/- 2.9%), the subsample of black voters, numbering only 153, would have a margin of error rendering any results virtually meaningless.

And of course the technical reasons for dismissing the cherrypicking are overshadowed by the fact that the poll does not mean what wes wishes it did, because approval <> voting intention.

Wow, wes, Breitbart and Epoch Times all being intellectually dishonest...

Next you'll tell me Trump is pardoning war criminals because he thinks that's a good way to score points with decent soldiers...

Nah, not even Trump could go that low...

Where can if find a believable (not photoshopped) nude crotch shot pic of Conan, the transgender war dog recently feted at the White House?

Yes: and that's pretty much what my 'FWIW' implied - it's not worth very much. I downloaded the table of data from Emerson's website in the form of a .pdf spreadsheet and although the number is correctly quoted, it's based on Emerson's very questionable methodology. Emerson for example predicted H Clinton winning the 2016 election by 323 to 215 in the EC and even Democrats winning the Senate. Of course they were not alone in getting it wrong but they were spectacularly wrong. Asking Emerson any question and expecting to get any sort of reliable response is like asking Yogi Bear about global climate change.

Well, as the Little Red Hen said, 'then I will do it myself.' I found a picture, full frontal but not quite nude, of Conan.

ceertainly looks like a dog and not a bitch to me. But of course, that leaves the more significant question of just where the spokespersons for this administration get their information if something this simple causes hours of confusion.

I’m having a hard time understanding why there could be so much confusion about the sex of a dog named Conan. :loon
