I read this headline today Is This the Beginning of the End for Blacks and Dems? The Obama era represents a peak in black voters’ identification with the Democratic Party, which will have to fight to retain their loyalty. While President Obama made history by becoming the first black president in 2008, black voters made history four years later. In 2012, for the first time ever, black voter turnout nationally surpassed that of all other groups. But that is unlikely to happen in tomorrow’s election. An even bigger question to consider, however, is whether it will ever happen again. Black voter enthusiasm has been at an all-time high during the era of the first black president, but will this enthusiasm last in the post Obama era? Clearly there were black voters before Barack Obama, but to put in context the difference between black voter turnout in the Obama era and black voter turnout before, consider this. In 2008 two million more black voters showed up at the polls than had four years before. Among young black voters ages 18 to 24, there was an 8 percent increase in turnout from 2004 to 2008, the highest increase among any demographic, across racial, gender and generational lines. thedailybeast/articles/2014/11/03/is-this-the-beginning-of-the-end-for-blacks-and-dems.html ==================================================== If anything last nights poll results indicated that blacks are waking up to realize they have been manipulated by democrats for over 50 years. Used for their votes by an assumed improvement in their lives. Has that actually happened or have things actually become WORSE?
