Kanye West may believe he’s out of the “sunken place” but judging by a recent tally, it looks like he’s still there. A new CNN Poll shows West is more popular among white people than non-white people.
The poll states 23 percent of people who identified themselves as white said they had a favorable opinion of ‘Ye, while only 20 percent of those who said they’re non-white feel the same. Meanwhile, 53 percent said they had an unfavorable opinion of West overall.
Interviews were conducted from May 2 to May 5, 2018 among a sample of 1,015 respondents. The landline total of respondents were 402 and there were 613 cell phone respondents.
The poll comes just weeks after West went on TMZ Live and made the statement that 400 years of slavery sounded like “a choice.” Of course, this caused a flurry of controversy and subsequently spawned the hashtag “#IfSlaveryWasAChoice.”
Prior to that interview, Yeezy made it clear he still supports Donald Trump, even posting a photo of himself wearing a Make America Great Again hat. He described both himself and Trump has having the same “dragon energy,” and referred to Trump as his “brother.”
West also aligned himself with conservative political commentator Candace Owens in a tweet stating he likes how she thinks. Owens then appeared with him on the now infamous TMZ Live interview.
Throughout the firestorm of contentious tweets, West dropped two singles, “Lift Yourself” and “Ye Vs. The People” featuring T.I.
West is reportedly back in Wyoming wrapping up several albums he promised to deliver this summer, including his own follow-up to 2016’s The Life Of Pablo.

Racist poll
BS
First, non white would include Asians fir example. What about blacks?
You say you like Donald Trump and they run a racist poll against you. How many of you believe this poll?
Good for him. But what are they willing to buy from him?
this is CNN trying to forge the narrative that the blacks are ‘deserting’ Yeezy because of his support for the presidnet
Ye has five records coming out!
More popular with Americans than UnAmericans.
this is pretty shocking, it proves that liberalism is really a religion to the progressive left! Kanye is the apostate
I'll say. What the hell is the point of a poll like this except to spread division?
Oh, wait... It's CNN.
fox news should be loudly declaring the cnn poll racist
Yeah, whatever.
They jus be making up polls again, to say whatever...again.
Yeah, it’s interesting how they just have “white” and “non-white” in a poll about a black person and his comments about slavery. Uh . . . I think most people would be curious to know about black people in particular, not just “non-white”.
I've never heard of such a poll. Is it customary to poll whether celebrity Chelsea Clinton is more popular among native Americans or Puerto Ricans?
Unrelated: Is there a national organization with the authority to grant Mr. West honorary white status?
Propagandist poll meant to keep the Slave on the Plantation.
The comments are very telling:
“The poll states 23 percent of people who identified themselves as white said they had a favorable opinion of ‘Ye, while only 20 percent of those who said they’re non-white feel the same.”
Roughly, whites and non-whites share the same opinion of Kayne.
Here is the problem for libs. If the 20% of non-whites who like Kayne are mostly black people and for some reason they like Kayne enough to vote like Kayne....
GAME OVER. A shift in black votes from 5% to 20% is a tectonic event.
exactly, the Democratic political plantation NEEDS that support or they will have to declare blanket amnesty to illegals!
This is a nothingburger. Twenty percent follow West and he destroys the Democrat party PERIOD.
