Trump's approval among blacks hits 42%

A new Rasmussen poll shows black voter support for President Trump has doubled in the last year to an astonishing 42%.

In November, polls by both Rasmussen and Emerson showed Trump had a remarkable 34% approval rating among black voters, compared to the 8% he received from blacks in the 2016 election.

An analysis by the Washington Examiner in November showed the dramatic rise in support by blacks could make the difference in the 2020 election.

I would look at that number with extreme caution...
If it looks like a trap and it smells like a trap, it is a trap... Normally...

Stop, just stop.. a sample size of a few tens of people has a huge margin of error.. either get better educated in math, statistics and probabilities or stop making ludicrous claims.

Trump is not going to get 40% of the black vote, he’s not going to get 30% or even 20%.

Trump will likely outperform his 2016 numbers of 8% but he is not going to get 20% support among voting blacks. Let alone 40%.

Highest support a GOP has gotten in the last 50 years was Reagan in 1980, who got I believe 14%.. yet in his 84 re-election when the nation was doing far far better his support among blacks dropped significantly.

If Trump were getting 20% support, let alone 40% support among AA you wouldn’t need a pill to see it it would be obvious on that ground and it’s not.

Trump will likely improve from 2016 but his numbers will likely be right in historical ranges.. 10-12%. Maybe on the outside he might put it up to a a little beyond Reagan’s 1980.. but even that would be an earthquake politically.. that kind of radical shift would be obvious on the ground.

When you subset of blacks being polled like Rasmussen are a few dozen the margin of error is huge.

And it was 8 percent because of black men

Trump has always had much stronger support with black men than black women, but then he also has much stronger support with white men than white women.
I have my own theories as to why.

Black women hate Trump because he fights back like a black man. The black men are taking notice.

Lavell Crawford agrees. The linked video is pretty raw, but some black men see Trump as blacker than Obama.

Lavell Crawford - Warning: Language

On the other hand, black women are solidly anti-Trump, and he will be lucky to get 5% of their vote. And they vote at twice the rate of black men. Trump will not get over 15% of the black vote in 2020. He got 8% in 2016, and 29% of latinos. If he increases those numbers by 5%, it's going to be an epic night.

My comment was specific to black women. I think I am correct for the most part.

Men want a daddy government, women want a mommy government.

It is just that simple.

But that’s been true of the GOP for decades. It’s not just Trump. The Lib media talked for years about the “gender gap” and how the GOP needed to do more to appeal to women.

What they purposely ignored was the fact that Democrats always had a gender gap problem with men. That’s never gone away, really.

If black men vote higher than normal for Trump this time then yes, that would be new. But men in general have skewed Republican for decades.

I can hear the nails being pounded into the rats coffins. Their racist division strategy is failing.

Going from 8% to 12% coupled with a retarded turnout will have a profound effect in critical swing States: Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina. Florida .....any State where Trumps margin of victory was razor thin in 2016.

Blacks probably not that taken by Trump getting railroaded by white prosecutors. They’ve seen that movie before.

That’s gotta be Alveda King in those 2 pix. I’m just surprised she’s BEHIND the barricades instead of in front.

If he got just 20% of black votes that’s nearly 3% of the national vote

In this age that would matter

Or if his popularity depresses black democrat voting turnout

Which is likely considering none of the Dems are attractive

I want to believe this, but on election night 90+% of blacks will vote for the D candidate

Rasmussen is traditionally Republican...so let's say his real rating is 33% positive.

Which is still huge. Big enough to carry every state he carried in '16...and possibly pick up one or two others.

Excellent.
I had forecasted a while back that we could hit 50% by Election day. Looks like we are well on our way.

Actually I think the numbers for white women (and men) are statistically tied. It’s not as big a thing to be a woman as FRs like to make it out to be.
