Low turnout in early voting reveals Clinton’s limited appeal among blacks<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Low turnout in early voting reveals Clinton’s limited appeal among blacks:-<\/strong> Democrats\u2019 fears are coming true about Hillary Clinton\u2019s limited appeal among blacks, as numbers from early-voting states show the bloc isn\u2019t as fired up for the Democratic nominee as it was for President Obama.<\/span><\/p>\n

In key battleground states such as Florida, North <\/span>Carolina and Ohio, early voting patterns show that blacks aren\u2019t casting ballots in the same numbers they did four years <\/span>ago, when they helped propel Mr. Obama to re-election.<\/span><\/p>\n

The president is working furiously in the last week of the campaign to spur blacks and young people to vote. At a rally for Mrs. Clinton in North Carolina on Wednesday, he criticized state officials <\/span>as trying to suppress the black vote and accused Republican nominee Donald Trump of trying to intimidate blacks from voting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump is calling on his supporters to monitor \u2018certain areas,\u2019\u201d Mr. Obama said at the University of North Carolina. \u201cWhere are those \u2018certain areas\u2019 he\u2019s talking about?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem for Mrs. Clinton is critical in Florida, the biggest battleground prize, where blacks have accounted for 11.58 percent of all early voters this year. University of Florida political scientist Dan Smith reported on his ElectionSmith blog that in 2012, blacks made up 15.83 percent of early voters in Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n

In North Carolina, black turnout is down 16 percent from four years ago. Michael Bitzer, a professor of politics and history at Catawba College, in Salisbury, North Carolina, said registered Democrats are 4.2 percent behind their same-day total numbers from 2012, while registered Republicans are 4.5 percent ahead of their pace four years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n
