Poll: Almost equal number of African Americans open to voting for Biden, Sanders

(snip)

The poll, conducted from Jan. 8-10, showed 56 percent of African American respondents said they would "consider voting" for Sanders, with 54 percent saying the same of Biden.

Twenty-three percent of African Americans said they would not consider voting for Sanders, compared to 24 percent who said they would not consider voting for Biden.

The Vice-Ipsos poll also shows 47 percent of Hispanic respondents saying they would consider voting for Sanders compared to 37 percent who said they would consider voting for Biden.

“Despite frequently being described as a ‘socialist’ or ‘too liberal’, Bernie Sanders has as many, if not more, minority Americans considering voting for him as any other candidate,” said Ipsos Public Affairs Vice President Chris Jackson.

I think it is telling how Biden's biggest asset is supposed to be how electable he is.

But the polls in his favor keep slipping ever so slowly down.

Preference in the primaries and "would consider voting for" in the general election are two entirely different things. Trying to extrapolate AA respondents who would vote for Sanders vs. Trump to AA support for Sanders in the primaries is misguided, at best.
