The Polack MSgt

(13,451 posts) Thu Oct 6, 2016, 01:18 PM Oct 2016

I just averaged the last 5 national polls [View all]

and Donald Trump leads Secretary Clinton by almost 17% among white Americans.

That's fucking disgusting, but I note that his support is right at 50% and Sec. Clinton's is 33% - he does not quite receive a majority of the white vote... so, yay?

I'm not sure what I should feel about that to be honest.

How could this charlatan get a vote from anyone other than Klansmen and meth heads?

Although I am willing to reluctantly accept that 50% of white people could be Klansmen and meth users.

Peace
