Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) appears to be growing her share of support from black voters, who have been slow to warm to her campaign.
A new poll from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal found Warren in second place among black voters with 13 percent support, her best showing in any poll to date. That’s up from 8 percent in the previous survey from July, although the 5-point swing is within the poll’s margin of error.
An Economist–YouGov survey released Wednesday found Warren’s support among black voters at 11 percent, up from 5 percent in July. And the latest Politico–Morning Consult survey found Warren gaining 5 points among black voters.
Former Vice President Joe Biden still dominates the field with black voters, and he’ll be the favorite to win the nomination unless that changes. Biden pulled 49 percent support from black voters in the NBC-Journal poll, a 36-point lead over Warren.
But Warren is showing signs of life here after public opinion surveys from earlier in the cycle showed her languishing in the single digits among black voters, raising criticism from some quarters that her appeal was limited to wealthy white liberals on the coasts.
Democratic strategists say Warren’s gains are enough to indicate that black voters are at least open to considering her candidacy, leaving her in prime position to capitalize down the road if she can maintain her upward trajectory in the race.
Only 9 percent of voters in the NBC-Journal poll said their minds are definitely made up, and Warren is the top second choice for voters.
“She’s expanding her coalition, and that’s a credit to her strategy and messaging and the bottom-up campaign she’s built to this point,” said Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright.
This whistleblower in the IC seems like a big deal right ? Can’t wait to see the GOP attack and claim DEEP STATE
I think it’s likely this foreign leader was Putin.
It's like he's begging to be impeached.
Washington (AFP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu skillfully "played" US President Donald Trump by plying him with inaccurate information, former secretary of state Rex Tillerson said.
Netanyahu, who is fighting for his political life after close elections, was "a bit Machiavellian" and would share "misinformation" with the United States, according to Trump's former top diplomat.
Tillerson, who was fired by Trump last year, made the observations during a forum Tuesday at Harvard University as reported by The Harvard Gazette, the university's official news outlet.
"In dealing with Bibi, it's always useful to carry a healthy amount of skepticism in your discussions with him," he was quoted as saying, using Netanyahu's nickname.
"They did that with the president on a couple of occasions, to persuade him that 'We're the good guys, they're the bad guys.'
"We later exposed it to the president so he understood, 'You've been played,'" Tillerson said, according to the newspaper.

"- In counties that went Obama-Trump, Bernie has 3x more donations than next D candidate"
People have been talking for the last three years how much he really hates being and didn't actually want to be president, so...
Seriously, though, I really hope this whistleblower news actually does become the catalyst for finally getting him the hell out of here.
What does Trump have on Giuliani that Giuliani is willing to make a complete fool of himself to say nothing of his likely criminal behaviour to boot. Is Giuliani that much of a grifter?
Rudy Giuliani acknowledged on Thursday that he had asked top Ukrainian officials to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, an admission that comes as Capitol Hill Democrats investigate whether President Donald Trump and his personal lawyer are pressuring Ukraine’s government to dig up dirt on a 2020 election rival.
“So you did ask Ukraine to look into Joe Biden?” CNN’s Chris Cuomo asked Giuliani in an interview on Thursday evening.
“Of course I did,” Giuliani shot back.
I watched him with Chris Cuomo last night, he's totally unhinged. It was painful to watch yet I couldn't look away.
Absolutely nothing went wrong the last time we sent troops to Saudi Arabia. Nothing at all. Everyone over there took it well.
note to future historians: this part of the thread is the one in which the eternal war with iran starts.
It's ageist if you make it a totally blanket statement. There are 80+ yr olds that are as sharp as tacks, doing mentally chalanging jobs.It was mean.
And he should do it again. And again. And again.
We need to stop nominating candidates who are in their mid to late 70s for this job. Cognitive decline is a real thing. It's not ageist to suggest so. It's reality.
That said - Biden's gaffes have been discussed ad nauseum. His record player comment trended for days.
dopey's own lawyers confirmed in court filings today that the state of new york is conducting a criminal investigation into our glorious orange leader
Idk, but he has been rascist, and mean (nyc'r and around during his tenure).What does Trump have on Giuliani that Giuliani is willing to make a complete fool of himself to say nothing of his likely criminal behaviour to boot. Is Giuliani that much of a grifter?
I watched him with Chris Cuomo last night, he's totally unhinged. It was painful to watch yet I couldn't look away. If Biden gets the nomination ( I don't think he will) they will go full on with this Ukraine bribery thing.
Giuliani definitely has some sort of thing for Trump and I don't think it's far fetched at all to believe that Trump has lots of dirt on him. All those years in the same circles in NYC. Rudy has tons of dirt on Trump too.
I have a Rudy autographed book-fire kindling. Bet it couldn't even get $20 on EBay
If a de Blasio campaign falls in the woods, does it make a sound?
Looks like 2016 all over again.
If you ever the Bernie Bros, online prepare to be inundated with a swarm of responses how that is total bullshit and a made up thing and Sander supporters are the best, and never engage in horrible behavior, etc...
I was a Bernie supporter for much of 2016. But even I couldn't escape the wrath of Bernie supporters if I dared point out any fault of his. I have to admit my late switch to Clinton was driven in part by the borderline insane interactions i would have with Bernie people online.
Now here we are in 2019 and we see their charming ways are still intact.

In the days since the Working Families Party endorsed Senator Elizabeth Warren for President on Monday, staffers at the progressive group have received hundreds of furious messages, including several using racial slurs against black staffers and at least one celebrating a junior employee’s rape.
Maurice Mitchell, the National Director of the Working Families Party (WFP) and an organizer with the Movement for Black Lives, received messages calling him a “half man” and “Uncle Tom,” and telling him to “go back to his slave masters,”
WFP organizer Ember Ollom, a rape survivor who has tweeted about her assault, received a message that said: “We were raped by this process, so I’m happy it happened to you.”
You know because that corporate whore, oligarch-humping, neo-liberal Elizabeth Warren should NOT receive and endorsement that clearly should go to Sanders...
