Donald Trump’s Support Among Blacks Has Doubled Since 2016, Amid Racism Claims
Breitbart ^ | 14 Jan 2018 | NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 01/15/2018 8:36:45 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

Two new polls show President Donald Trump’s rising support among black voters, highlighting his political gains from pushing employers to hire Americans instead of lower-wage migrants.

The growing support from blacks — despite furious Democratic claims of racism — could become a shocking political validation in November when Trump will face millions of upper-income Democratic voters who are angry at his “Buy American, Hire American” policies.

Among black men, Trump’s “2017 average approval rating significantly exceeds his 2016 vote share,” admitted a January 11 article in the Atlantic by author Ronald Brownstein. “23 percent of black men approved of Trump’s performance versus 11 percent of black women,” said the article.

That score averages out to 17 percent, or twice the 8 percent score he was given in the 2016 exit polls.

In November 2016, Trump got 13 percent support among black men and 4 percent support among black women, according to the exit polls. That very low support was critical to his victory in the Democrats’ now-demolished “Blue Wall” states.

The poll was “a cumulative analysis of 605,172 interviews SurveyMonkey conducted with Americans in 2017,” according to the Atlantic.

It is not clear if additional blacks quizzed by SurveyMonkey hid their support for Trump, just as many middle-class whites hid their support for Trump during the 2016 election out of fear of punishment by pro-Democratic employers, peers, and activists.

Hence the reason for the new “racist” narrative by the Deep State and its DC congressional puppets!

Trump and all in the GOP need one voice going into 2018: "If Democrats win in 2018, you're going to pay more taxes."

How will we pay more taxes if the Dems win? Trump would veto that bill.

These are the official numbers.

I bet the Democrats’ internals say many more than that have left the Democrat plantation.

I have to believe this is a major reason they ‘have’ to get rid of Trump as soon as possible. And why they cannot afford to stem the tide of the illegals coming here.

Stay the course Mr. President!

I saw another poll indicating that Trump’s approval rating among Hispanic men has also grown substantially. The media narrative goes its own way, only occasionally intersecting with reality.

If it weren't for the mendacious liberal media, Obama's crimes would be exposed by now and the American African Blacks would see how they have been duped.

Even now the Liberal Left is trying hard to corral that same group back onto their 'plantations' of welfare where the superior Liberal Left can control them not help them.

If Trump can peel away 10-15% of the black vote the Democrats are toast.

Let’s be brutally honest here. Any man with an ounce of self-respect likes Donald Trump even if he doesn’t want to say it openly in the company of women.

It should keep growing. Aside from the economy, the Ds will probably continue messaging that goes like

Trump: s***hole African countries

Conservatives: those countries are s***holes because of corrupt government, poor education, and bad economy

Liberals: those countries are s***holes because they are full of black and brown people.

Liberals mastered “identity politics” when facing a Romney. With Trump on the other side they are so quick to attack that they continually fall into knee-jerk-honesty traps rather than using thoughtfully played race cards (not “smart”, but “thought out” and coordinated).

I typically won't click on a Breitbart link because of their stupid ads however I wanted to see who the pollsters were and CBS News was one of them.

I cannot imagine the screaming going on within CBS News right now about Trump gaining support amongst black voters. Heads must be exploding. Especially after they themselves had to admit that black unemployment right now is the lowest ON RECORD.

One last comment: Americans vote their pocketbooks first and foremost. The economy keeps picking up and we should see Republicans not just keep the House and Senate, but expand their majorities.

Democrats calling tax cuts and pay raises "crumbs" is just going to make the American people laugh on their way into the voting booths.

He may now get 5% of the black vote instead of 3%.

Now we know why we’re seeing furious Democratic claims of racism, along with the amplification from their obedient and crooked news media lapdogs.

The DNC and their media lackeys will be pushing an Oprah 2020 campaign, but it won't get really serious until after the 2018 midterms, because the intended DNC narrative for 2018 isn't working too well -- #timesup #metoo -- and Oprah is inseparable from Harvey Weinstein. By 2020 white women will have returned to the Trump ticket in more than sufficient numbers, along with employed black men.

Reminds me of a scene from the classic movie “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka”:

Kalinga: Yes, we marched on the Federal building. Five hundred of us young brothers, full of outrage.

[sighs]

Kalinga: They were hiring that day. The brothers came with guns; they left with jobs. Oh, yes, whitey is very tricky.

Democrats offer ‘job training’,

President Trump offers JOBS - not fake jobs - not make-work jobs, but JOBS. Jobs with benefits, promotions and dignity.

Trump also offers the black community the right to respectable leaders and Representatives - not poverty pimps working the gang bangers for power and answering only to the democrat plantation party.

So....if Trumps approval among blacks is up and if his approval among Hispanics is up, how us his approval rating at “historic lows”? The only way that could be is if he is tanking with whites.
