In a sort of a follow-up to my earlier post (Black Voters: Did we waste another opportunity?), it appears that the black voters in Maryland are signaling that the Democratic party better get on the ball if they want to retain the black vote.
A new poll shows that a majority of black Democrats in Maryland are getting frustrated with the Democratic Party, both locally and nationally.
The poll found that 65 percent of black Democratic voters registered in Maryland say their party and its candidates should commit to issues of concern to blacks before asking for their votes.
Those least satisfied with the efforts of state party leaders are blacks between the ages of 35 to 65.
The same survey also found widespread dissatisfaction with the inclusion of blacks on the ballot for top offices.
One in four democrats in the poll said they were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the Maryland Democratic Party’s direction on increasing diversity at the top of the Democratic ballot. Three in five said they were satisfied.
Thirty-two percent of registered black Maryland Democrats were bothered by the direction of the national Democratic Party on increasing diversity at the top of the ballot.
