This is happening right now:

Bernie Sanders LIVE now

As of 5 Feb you can go to question 38 to see how the candidates stand or getting their support from whites, blacks, Hispanics. Now this is nationwide. It is also dynamic and changes week to week.



Over the last three weeks, Biden's support among blacks has dropped from 55% down to the listed 43%. Sanders and Warren have fluxuated between 10-14% each among blacks. Blacks who have left Biden haven't gone to either one. The big winner or who the blacks have went is Bloomberg, he has went from 0% up to 12%.

The lowering of black support for Biden is big in my opinion. That doesn't make him a sure winner in states where the black primary vote is 35% or more. Winning over half of blacks in those states while the rest of the field split the white vote was exactly where Biden's hopes lied.

Some early states where the non-white Democratic Primary vote can be decisive. These figures are from 2016 thanks to Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball Report.

Nevada 36%
South Carolina 57%
Georgia 56%
Alabama 57%
Texas 54%
North Carolina 38%
Tennessee 34%
Virginia 38%
Louisiana 52%
Mississippi 52%
Illinois 43%

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
