Polls increasingly show they have improved dramatically in key voter blocs.
mounting number of voter polls show that, despite shrill denunciations of the President by the Democrats for his alleged racism, Trump is enjoying a dramatic increase in his approval ratings among minorities. This isn’t, as some liberal news outlets and pundits have suggested, wishful thinking based on outlier polls. The trend began showing up in surveys early this year and appears to be gaining momentum. Some polls now show his approval numbers at 25 percent among African-American voters and 50 percent among Hispanic voters. If those figures hold for the next 15 months, they will render Trump unbeatable in November of 2020.
If this claim seems over the top, it should be remembered that Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 despite garnering only about 8 percent of the black vote and 29 percent of the Hispanic vote. Put another way, Clinton lost the election despite winning nearly 90 percent of the African-American vote and two-thirds of the Hispanic vote. In other words, they simply can’t beat the President if he holds them to significantly lower percentages of these key voting blocs. The Democrats and their media enablers understand this, of course, which is why they have worked so diligently to discredit polls that confirm the president’s gains among minority voters.
This began in earnest when, in January of this year, Marist found that Trump’s approval rating among Hispanics had reached 50 percent. Then, in February, a Morning Consult poll showed Hispanic approval of the President at 45 percent. This was followed by a March poll from McLaughlin & Associates that found Hispanic approval for the President at 50 percent. All three polls were discounted as outliers by the media or simply ignored. This continued in June, after Harvard Harris..

“All three polls were discounted as outliers by the media or simply ignored.”
good. it’s always very helpful when your opponents and enemies refuse to acknowledge reality: that puts them at a tremendous disadvantage ...
though, these poll results DO explain why the NYT, the rest of the media and their Democrat Party subsidiary have decided go all out on beating the “Trump is a racist” (and so are his supporters) drum 24x7x365 on all outlets ... that and attacking “whitey”, which they hope will be cheered by non-whites ...
Agree not pandering is important. I thought him calling out rat infested areas was brilliant. Do people really think the poor want to live with rats? Most politicians act like they don’t notice. Trump noticed them and treated them like they were important too.
Dims losing favor with blacks and Hispanics? I guess they’ll have to pander to muzzies - oh, wait.
Well said
If Vegas is any indicator the place is going third world fast. We got married there in '72 and have gone back on many anniversaries. The demographic shift towards hispanics is obvious. The social ills that follow that are equally obvious.
“1) record low unemployment numbers for both groups; 2) Trump’s strong stance on border security; 3) the fact that Trump doesn’t shamelessly and insultingly pander to them, which they no doubt find refreshing.”
4.) speaks in plain ordinary language, and not the BS political euphemisms we’ve all heard from all politicians all of our lives
5.) Is an anti-establishment rebel and disrupter who fearlessly takes on massive establishment forces and WINS
And the cool thing about all of that is that those five Trump characteristics appeal to ALL of us, not JUST folks of color, but to to all stripes of folks regardless of creed, color, gender, ethnicity, or socio-economic status ... because basically people are people regardless of how the leftists try to slice and dice us into identity groups to try to pit us against each other ...
if the polls are correct, then Trump will indeed become the great unifier, something that’s truly going to drive the left insane ...
It’s why the leftwing communists are pushing the old & tired race card - it’s the last arrow in their quiver.
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard him pander once to any balkanized group. This is indeed very refreshing not just for minorities, but for all Americans, especially those of us who have been yearning for this for over 35 years.”
totally ...
Has a contractor here in State of California he’s had multiple Hispanic employees all of whom are here legally nearly 100% of them are very conservative
Not a single one has ever objected to me playing rush Hannity in Savage on my little radio while at work let’s put it that way
The major liberal problem we have is white women
Coincidentally, the only people I know who celebrate Kwanzaa.
Excellent analysis.....concur!
Same here. Black leaders are democrats but individual black citizens - the real backbone of the black community - are people who want to live in safe neighborhoods, have decent jobs for themselves, good schools for their kids and a chance to move up in life. That makes them Trump supporters.
Same with Hispanic Americans - love of family - love of country and a chance to move up... And all of us - all ethnic groups in the US - want borders closed to illegals... Only ‘elites’ who want cheap labor want them open.
Good point about Baltimore. It’s almost “reverse pandering” — treating people in those hellholes as respectable, good citizens rather than slaves on the Democrat plantation. Nobody has ever done that before. Nobody has ever asked “Where did the billions we sent you go? What good did it do you?”
“The major liberal problem we have is white women.” Women as a whole, but you are onto something. The PC entitlement brainwashing success has been immense here. People should be laughing Granny Liawatha out of the race.
Illegal aliens, whom the Dems love, especially hurt African-Americans in many areas such as obtaining jobs. If the so-called black leaders really cared about African-Americans, they would be screaming for deportations and building a wall.
You're so right... and therein lies the difference.
In Trump's mind THEY are IMPORTANT.
He realizes that the parade moves only as fast as its slowest member.
The mistake politicians make with Hispanics is thinking they are all alike. Hispanics around here that are descended from those that have been here hundreds of years and those that came here legally have zero use for illegals. The legal Hispanics do not support open borders or illegal immigration unless they are children of illegals.
