      He’s a prominent black radio host who likely has a decently good impression of the political leanings of his listeners and is observing a contrast between the polling and his experience on the ground.

      Is his listener base representative of the black community - good question.

      But I think his opinion is probably relatively informative.

        Okay but should we take someone who calls themselves ramenshaman seriously?

        Or just calls themselves Charlemagne, really.

        Not exactly a nice guy, what with all the warmongering and forced conversion to Christianity. (Though it should be noted several social reforms including education helped spark the carolingan renaissance)
