Reuters Poll: Black Male Approval For Trump Doubles In One Week
Daily Caller ^ | 5/2/2018 | AMBER ATHEY

Posted on 05/02/2018 4:58:03 PM PDT by grayboots

Black male support for President Donald Trump doubled in just one week, according to a Reuters poll on presidential approval.

A poll taken on April 22, 2018 had Trump’s approval rating among black men at 11 percent, while the same poll on April 29, 2018 pegged the approval rating at 22 percent. It should be noted that Reuters only sampled slightly under 200 black males each week and slightly under 3,000 people overall.

Trump experienced a similar jump in approval among black people overall, spiking from 8.9 percent on April 22 to 16.5 percent on April 29.

Black males were also far more likely to say that they had “mixed feelings” about the president. On the 22nd, 1.5 percent said they had mixed feelings, while 7.1 percent said the same on the 29th.

The results are interesting given the recent transformation of Kanye West, who posted a picture of himself wearing a Make America Great Again hat on his Twitter account last week.

Re: “Sounds too good to be true.”

Black males have consistently voted in the 15% range for the GOP presidential nominee.

However, their turnout is significantly lower than Black females, so the guys have a limited impact.

Also, black female college graduates vote in the range of 100% for the Democrat candidate!

The Dems are organizing “get out the vote” tactic.

Woe are the Democrat slave masters who, for decades, have dictated to Blacks how they are supposed to think and vote. The reward was the welfare check. Democrats originally were slave owners, fought to retain slavery, and voted against the Civil Rights Act. Thanks to Kanye West the gig is up. Trump engineered the lowest Black unemployment rate in many years and, guess what, he isn’t a Democrat. Time for Blacks to wake up and realize that Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and the rest have done nothing but use them.

If black fellas become welcome to the ideas of their group that has served in the military, it would be wonderful for black folks and America.

Black unemployment has noticeably declined - FAR more than it did under Obama. Wages are going up. This is partly the result of cracking down on illegals who were taking jobs too. I think many poorer Blacks are well aware cheap illegal immigrant labor was costing them jobs and crushing their bargaining power in the labor market.

If this continues and the economy keeps cranking out jobs, its going to be impossible for the race hustling poverty pimps to prevent a significant percentage of them from noticing the obvious - Trump is doing good things for them.

Dennis Prager always says the Dems have to fight for their lives to keep blacks on board, or they are over. This could be the tipping point.

Sometimes it takes then outspoken “crazy” people to be the keynoters. Like Donald Trump. Or Kanye. Moses wasn’t the perfect leader either at the time.

Well this news is really hard to argue with:

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/05/black-unemployment-rate-falls-to-record-low.html

Does everyone remember Trumps pitch to blacks during the election? (sorry its a CNN ink)
Trump was EXACTLY right.

>>Kanye made it safer for a black man to admit he likes Trump. That’s why the Dems made it a priority to destroy Kanye for it.<<

The 14th Amendment guarantees judicial due process of law to blacks and all Americans. 94% of Republican Senators and 96% of Republican House members voted for the Amendment. ALL CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST IT.

I wouldn't have chosen Kanye West to be the messenger but I'm happy he is doing it. Sometimes people need to hear things from someone they can relate too. How many positive stories about president Trump make it into the black community? This could have a huge impact if a few more influential black people join Kanye.

oh boy. If true the Dems will have to go all out character assassination mode. Their rhetoric will only cause Kanye to see them for what they are. You can’t drag somebody back to the left once they leave. This is why they MUST not allow it.

Sounds like Islam.
