Why do younger black voters like Trump more than elders? UCLA study explains
Just the News ^ | June 10,2020 | By Carrie Sheffield

Posted on 06/10/2020 9:12:00 PM PDT by Hojczyk

The data collected from April 2-May 13 by the Democracy Fund + UCLA Nationscape project, an initiative that conducted weekly surveys of thousands of potential voters for nearly a year, found that 29% of percent of black voters ages 30-44 and 21% ages 18-29 have a "very favorable" or "somewhat favorable" view of President Trump. This compares to just 14% of black voters 45-64 and 9% of those 65 and older.

"Trump symbolizes a much broader understanding than just his personality, what he represents," veteran black empowerment activist Bob Woodson told Just the News. "I think that our younger people are realizing how they have been taken for granted by the Democratic Party and Democratic philosophy, and therefore are really open to alternatives."

Woodson cited as evidence of this new trend the 2018 Florida gubernatorial race, where white Republican Ron DeSantis won by only 32,000 votes over the black Democrat in the race, Andrew Gillum.

"And that's because 100,000 low-income blacks voted for DeSantis, even though Gillum had Obama and Oprah campaigning for him," Woodson said. "And that is because of DeSantis' position on choice in education and charter schools. So I think you're seeing a more independent strain through younger blacks who are able to look beyond the ideology and the personality and make decisions more on objective reasons to vote for people."

Will Trump get more votes because of the riots?.....

The only place that really matters is in the swing states...

Aside from maybe Pennsylvania, there really are no swing states and there is a poll that shows Trump leading there by 4 points. Everything else will fall as it did in 2016 with Trump maybe picking up Virginia and Colorado, Nevada, and Minnesota.

Because Donald Trump doesn’t try to rap — white rap is just another form of blackface.

I am totally and completely tired of POLLS. I am also sick of the whole “put people in a category” polls. It only serves to tell people who they “should” vote for.

It’s one big fat voter intimidation move.

If you are (insert category), you MUST...

If you do not vote accordingly, you ARE...

You would like my poll.

It would have only one question—yes or no.

Would you like to have your business or home looted?

I _dare_ them to ask that question.

All the evidence you need to know that blacks are leaving the plantation, and Democrats know it:

1. The all out sudden rush by DNC party bosses to recall Biden from the dead, and push him to the front. (Trumps black polling numbers were steam rolling into fatal territory for DNC Presidential prospects.)

2. Then, consider how Dims/MSM used an unfortunate death of a black man - by a white cop - to stage Biden rallies/what’s his name’s funeral in all 57 (well, er, maybe it wasn’t all 57 states after all) states.

3. The clown show with every elected Democrat wearing the Kente cloth, and (sic) kneeling, and for extra drama kneeling for a full 8 or 9 minutes. All for the very important (essential, really) cameras.

4. And finally, the non-stop MSM show after show after show after show after (puke) show, about racism this, racism that, racism etc.

Expect to see hardly anything but racism discussions until November, along with the popular meme “Trump’s recklessly inviting the deaths of thousands of Americans with his selfish rallies” blah, blah, blah; along with obligatory 1,000 point headlines proclaiming, “Polls show Biden trouncing Trump 80 points to 20 points”.

Come November 4th we’ll know if it was enough...

Actually, swing House districts in Blue territory are crucial to GOP hopes for retaking the House, and governorships and Senate seats can be decided by a thin vote margin in which swing voters have a decisive influence. In addition, even if relatively small, young, pro-Trump Black conservatives can have a major impact on Black politics. The demographic elements are there already in the form of Christian churchgoers, active and retired military, business people, and police and other public safety professionals.

You should probably take a look at the large numbers of white suburban women protesting the George Floyd thing.

And poles that were only off one or two per cent in 2016 have Trump down by quite a bit right now. I think that will change but what you’re talkin about I don’t know where you got it from recently

Can you post the link where that information is?

People who work and EARN their money are, as a general rule, much happier than those who sit around waiting for the next government check.

Speaking of which, I have yet to see a penny. Not my federal WuFlu check, not my state check for one week in April and another in May. Though I do have a letter confirming I am eligible for $572 per week for my Covid-19 related plant closure plus another telling me that Fedzilla will add $600 on top of that and it will be automatic. What a fustercluck!

The young Black folks get it. They are smart and on target when they realize how the Democrat Party has really screwed them and their families, over many, many years in the Ghetto cities, where the Democrats kept the Black folks in Slave Plantation chains and Slave poverty levels!!!

And...the absolute worst abusers & screwers of all African-Americans is none other then Democrats, Ex-POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama & Ex-VP Joe Biden. Case closed...End of Story!!!

The truth is not always pretty, but, the truth is still always, the truth!!!
