Quinnipiac University Poll; Trump has 1% of black vote

Donald Trump is notorious for his attacks on Muslims, Hispanics and women — but he is by far faring worst with black voters, a new poll showed Wednesday.

The latest Quinnipiac University poll says the billionaire businessman has exactly 1% of black voter support. His presumptive Democratic challenger, Hillary Clinton, has 91% support from the black voting bloc.

Republican presidential candidates routinely lose the black vote in a landslide. Even so, Trump’s numbers position him to finish the general election with the lowest black support in recent history.
