34. He's actually doing the 2nd best with POC (Biden is obviously top there) If Pete were pulling Bernie

Oct 2019

numbers with POC and Bernie was pulling Pete's, it would be a 3 way race, Biden, then Warren, then Pete, and Bernie would be toast even now (he will be anyway, down the road). Unfortunately, Pete is nowhere near Bernie or even Warren level with my fellow blacks voters and I do not see that changing much atm, unless he does very well (even may have to win it) in IA and then NH, which would be a huge help in NV, which, then would perhaps portend a very decent showing in SC, etc etc.

In the new (very favourable to Biden) A rated national poll from SurveyUSA, Bernie is pulling 18% of A-A's and (so surprisingly) doing even better with conservatives (24% to Biden's 33%) and also is 2nd to Biden with moderates at 17%

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

What are the ethnic demographics in Queens? [View all] NurseJackie Oct 2019 OP

This: The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2019 #1

Interesting. (Thank you.) NurseJackie Oct 2019 #2

"50% white, 28% Hispanic, 24% Asian, 21% black, and 3% mixed" equals 126% (n/t) thesquanderer Oct 2019 #5

Hispanics are often counted twice - as Hispanic and also as white or black StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #32

Better check your figures. Queens isn't 50% white. It's maybe half that as Queens is as diverse... brush Oct 2019 #22

Not my figures. Direct cut and paste from the source. The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2019 #28

They add up to way more than 100%. brush Oct 2019 #29

Still, they're not my numbers. The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2019 #30

It's very diverse. Every faith and ethnic group is there and maybe a fourth is white. brush Oct 2019 #33

You can't get much more ethnic diversity than Queens. Every race and faith is there. brush Oct 2019 #13

Agreed. He definitely does not have the confidence (or support) of the AA community... NurseJackie Oct 2019 #19

His campaign would do better to get busy with GOTV efforts in those same housing projects. cwydro Oct 2019 #16

Myopic. Short sighted. NurseJackie Oct 2019 #43
