New Poll Shows President Trump Gaining Black Supporters

Over the past few weeks, rapper Kanye West has openly expressed his support for President Donald Trump after saying he likes the way conservative commentator Candace Owens thinks. Under a barrage of criticism from his peers and Hollywood, he's refused to back down. 

I love the way Candace Owens thinks— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 21, 2018

You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018

Although black voters overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, a new Reuters poll shows Trump gaining significantly with the demographic. Specifically, with black men. From the DC:

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.

On the 2016 campaign trail, Trump attempted to court black voters by saying they had nothing to lose by supporting him.

Trump appeals to black voters: What do you have to lose?

Meanwhile, unofficial White House advisor Darrell Scott is reportedly working on a summit with President Trump, Kanye West and other culture leaders about race.

Let’s hope that the tag team of Kanye and Candace Owens doubles that number...

The Dems are panicking because they KNOW that if black Americans wake up to their treachery, it’s OVER.....
Kanye’s “awakening” scares them because if he SURVIVES the onslaught for daring to think outside the Plantation, it paves the way for others to question their overlords and we KNOW that the Dems’ political ideology can NOT stand up to logic.

Guess that’s why so many were talking down Kanye West.

You really didn’t think they would poll 2 million people, did you?

Doubling in a week! Without divine intervention that is basically impossible. But maybe there are a lot of black males who are waking up.

It’s amazing what it can do for a man’s perspective to suddenly be able to get a job, or have more than one job to choose from instead of having to rely on government handouts. Once free from the welfare system, life looks so much different -— so much better!!!
