I have talked with several black and Hispanic voters and they think trump is an idiot. I talked to one black voter tonight and he said he's from New York and they know all about trump. He said it would be a cold day in hell before he would vote for trump.

Clinton campaign in 'panic mode' over Florida black voters Politico

snip

Hillary Clinton's campaign is in panic mode. Full panic mode, said Leslie Wimes, a South Florida-based president of the Democratic African-American Women Caucus. They have a big problem because they thought Obama and Michelle saying, 'Hey, go vote for Hillary' would do it. But it's not enough, Wimes said, explaining that too much of the black vote in Florida is anti-Trump, rather than pro-Clinton. In the end, we don't vote against somebody. We vote for somebody.

Part of the problem Clinton faces is that Obama, the actual black president, is the toughest of acts to follow. Obama enjoyed support from 95 percent of Florida's black voters in both 2012 and 2008, according to exit polls.

Clinton isn't polling quite that well in a state that has nearly 1.7 million black voters. An average of the last three Florida polls that provided racial breakdowns shows she's polling less than 85 percent among African-American voters in Florida, while Trump polls around 5 percent.

It's not just Clinton's margins with black voters that concerns Democrats. It's whether African-American voters turn out in force for her in a pivotal state whose 29 electoral votes are essential to the GOP nominee's path to an Electoral College victory. A loss in Florida all but guarantees a Trump defeat on Election Day.

Clinton faces a similar potential problem with Hispanic voters...
