A growing political force to be reckoned with: black Republicans
Nice article, worth a read. Money quote is at the end:
A study from the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies last year found that in the previous two years, black support for Democrats dropped 11 percentage points, resulting in less than two-thirds calling themselves Democrats. Meanwhile, support for Republicans more than doubled among black voters, from 4 percent to 10 percent.
That is still a small percentage, but it does represent a 150 percent increase. Further, the largest Republican support comes from the youngest segment of black voters ? the future.
If Sarasota is any indication, this trickle one day could turn into a dam-break.
