The USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times "Daybreak" poll released Thursday had a stunning finding: Donald Trump's support among African-Americans had increased by over 10 points virtually overnight.
Armand Emamdjomeh and David Lauter, who wrote the narrative accompanying that poll, predictably ignored it, but they did even more. Readers here will see that their verbiage in the section specifically addressing "By race/ethnicity" pretended that the shift hasn't even occurred (dashed box around the "Black" box added by me):
Emamdjomeh and Lauter are hoping that readers don't see the visually small movement above.
While blacks still "lean heavily towards Clinton," a look at the change in the numbers during the past week shows that Trump's support among blacks has gone from a virtually nonexistent 1 in 30-40 to about 1 in 7:
The timing of the shift occurred just after the August 13-14 rioting in Milwaukee, even though the poll's methodology says that "We update the data each day based on the weighted average of poll responses over the previous week." In other words, even now, the poll results still don't fully include interviews conducted during or after the riots.
This could be an outlier, but if there has been similar double-digit shift to a Republican candidate and from a Democratic candidate among black voters in at least the past 40 years of presidential polling during the final 90 days before the election, I don't recall it.

And from newsbusters no less!
Wednesday Trump has a rally in Jackson, MS with a black population of 80%. Trump working hard for the black vote.
Of course they ignore it. The figure is probably much higher by now.
Blacks l-o-v-e-d Obama. They aren’t thrilled with Hillary. Many see her as the doormat wife who should have walked out on Bill and his horndog ways a long time ago.
That’s great. The optics are good but he needs to get out to states where an uptick in the black vote might actually help.
Donald Trump needs to continue to speak directly to the black community. He needs to keep telling them over and over again how their loyalty to the Democrat Party has been a one way street, with the Democrats getting their vote, and giving back nothing in return.
It’s like magic!
Trump is definitely going to carry record black support for a GOP candidate. It’s going to be so great when the supposed “racist” wins and all the lying press have to explain that Trump did “better than expected” with “African Americans” and “Hispanics.”
True but unfortunately Hillary has the Electoral College sewed up and knows it. I don’t know if there’s any way to change that.
It has long been said the Rats could not survive anything less than 90% of blacks. Curious.
I suppose one could get an idea of just how big this is by checking the numbers in 2012 with vs. without the black precincts that voted 110%. The question really becomes, “Can Hillary win PA without those 110% precincts.”
If she can’t then she may be in serious trouble.
Trump is putting black Americans ahead of of Hispanic illegals. That’s a wedge the Democrats can’t even acknowledge, much less tolerate.
You are a concern troll.
They loved him at first, but they now see a lot of disappointment, at least privately. Clinton is not inheriting the enthusiastic support she needs, and Trump is willing to go out and earn their votes.
The polls are our secret weapon. Donald’s plus 5-10 over the polls, and Hillary’s people will be lulled into a daze until the day after election day.
Yessss, and how has that worked out for them.
The LA Times is part of the MSM—the Tokyo Rose class. They’re going to tell you you’re getting killed, losing...just like Tokyo Rose did. Wishful thinking.
Unfortunately you are an idiot. :-)
