Poll: Cruz wins 3 percent of black vote, but 45 percent from Hispanics
The Hill, Sep 18, 2018, Brett Samuels
Ted Cruz is struggling to win over black voters according to a new poll, that despite that weakness shows the Republican senator with a healthy nine-point lead over Democrat Beto O'Rourke. Cruz is getting support from just three percent of likely black voters, but is winning 45 percent of likely Hispanic voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.
The performance with Hispanic voters boosted Cruz to a significant lead over O'Rourke overall in the poll. He leads the Democrat by 9 percentage points, 54-45 percent.
Tuesday's poll suggests Cruz is actually performing better among Hispanic voters compared to his performance in 2012, when he garnered 40 percent of the Hispanic vote against Democrat Paul Sadler, according to a survey Cruz's team conducted six weeks after the election.

If the President can help boost the Black vote (and I think he can) Beto best prepare for a bloodbath on election day. :smokin:

The fake Hispanic spent quite of the debate apologizing for white privilege and bemoaning all the unarmed black men shot by white cops. Pandering at its finest. He thinks that will give him the black vote.
