New CNN poll showing 10-point momentum for Trump appears driven by people of color in swing states

CNN polling found 26% of 'people of color' approved of Trump in June, compared to 37% in August.

A CNN poll released Sunday shows President Trump has narrowed Democratic rival Joe Biden's lead by 10 points since June, in part by what appears to be growing support for Trump among "people of color" in swing states.

The new poll shows the Biden-Harris ticket leading the Trump-Pence ticket 50% to 46%, compared to early June when the numbers were 55% to 41%.

Over the same period, the CNN poll found that 26% of "people of color" in battleground states approved of Trump in June, compared to 37% in August.

"Joe Biden's lead over Donald Trump among registered voters has significantly narrowed since June, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS, even as the former vice president maintains an advantage over the president on several top issues and his choice of California Sen. Kamala Harris as a running mate earns largely positive reviews," Jennifer Agiesta, CNN Polling Director, wrote on Monday.

In the August poll, the 37% told CNN they approve of Trump's job performance, with 33% of them saying that if the election were held today, they would vote for Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, the Republicans.

In last month's poll, "people of color" within battleground states, 44% said they had with a favorable view of Harris and 31% had an unfavorable view, 14% reporting they had "never heard of," her, and 11% with "no opinion," of Harris.

The CNN poll was not lost on President Trump, who tweeted, "What’s with @CNN POLLS increasing me by 10 points in a short period of time. Maybe they want to take over from FoxNews!"

This is why the MSM-Democrats are going wall-to-wall with “Trump’s A Racist.”

More and more “blacks” are tired of being the Dims pawns to power, and the Marxist attitudes of BLM toward “race” make blacks who have good relationships with whites KNOW the “systemic racism” and “white supremacy” claims are false.

That’s where Kanye’s “candidacy” comes in. I think a lot of people got the message that Biden is a loser for them.

This is indeed great news as “people of color” will turnout to vote more than they ever have and will make up the highest percentage of the total voter base ever in America. All will be good for Trump.

Yeah, well if the Marxist win in court to have mail in battots everywhere and to accept them for days after the election, it will be a Biden Landslide ... of fraud.
And the courts never want to interfere with elections.

Jeeez, what must the Biden campaign be thinking when CNN can’t even fake polls? Usually, the fake polls oversample minorities as a means to skew. What do they do now?

Never Trumpers are visibly shaken, and will be publically humiliated.

I will say it again. THE POLLS ARE ALL FAKE.

The only reason it will swing in favor of Trump is so that they can swing it harder against him down the road. It all fake and calculated. The ultimate manipulation.

How does 12% of the population who notoriously do not turn out to vote have such an effect on the polls?

Hispanic are over 16% yet they don’t seem to matter.

How bad at math is the general public?

Yeah, I smell a set up. Trump says something in September that the media tells us is racist, and his poll numbers with "people of color" collapse overnight.

But no, I don't believe anything CNN says.

Manipulation or not, this article goes against the Narrative. “People of color” are supposed to hate Trump, and hate him more and more as his racism is revealed by the always-objective MSM.

The Democrats get their votes in ‘groups’, this group, that group and the other group, pandering to all the different groups they can.

If they lose just one group, or a majority of several, their coalition implodes.....................
