Johnson needs 15 percent nationwide to qualify. The questionable claim looks to mobilize Republicans, with the all-important start of early voting in some states just weeks away.
Just 15 per cent say Trump would make an “average” president, the poll said.
Republican presidential candidates have a long history of failure and frustration trying to make inroads in the black communities, let alone actively campaign for their vote, so what Donald Trump did this week was especially unexpected.
