Sanders' base is rooted in whites, but he must improve his nonwhite numbers in order to stay competitive. Will it be easier to improve his numbers with Blacks or Hispanics? Additionally, this is separate from the poll question but what group do you think would be more advantageous for Sanders to improve his numbers in?

I assume white Latinos are lumped with whites and not Latinos here? My answer is Sanders either way.

The all encompassing category of Hispanic.

In that case, definitely Latinos. Black voters are being very loyal to the DNC this cycle.

2008 Data is garbage. The same people who supported Clinton in 08 obviously don't care about her now.

Neither group is exactly that familiar with him and he has no regional or social appeal with them, so the answer is equally difficult. Percentage wise, he'll get more votes from Hispanics, but he won't win them.

Blacks and Hispanics are not particularly prone to buying into over promising or ideological purity politics, they do actually want someone who can get results.

Hispanics. Blacks have deep loyalty to the Clintons. Even Obama had to pry that support away from her.

Blacks. Sanders has a history of being anti-immigration. He does not have a history of advocating any positions seem as disadvantageous to Black people.

Hispanics will definitely be easier. Sanders' two black surrogates are Killer Mike (no political experience) and Nina Turner (no name recognition).

What about Colonel West? Or Ben Jealous, ex-NAACP head?

He is meeting Al Sharpton for breakfast or dinner.

Cornel "Obama is the first n***erized black president" West's endorsement is worthless. Ben Jealous, maybe, but the NAACP isn't at ubiquitous as it used to be.

Al Sharpton's endorsement would definitely be a good get for Sanders if he could get it, if only for his connections.

Option 1 is the ONLY answer.
