Trump Approval Among Black Voters Rises to Record
The Epoch Times ^ | 29 OCT 2018 | Petr Svab

Posted on 10/30/2018 7:42:13 AM PDT by ManHunter

Some 40 percent of black likely voters approve of the job President Donald Trump is doing, according to the daily Rasmussen poll released on Oct. 29.

The number marks a record high, the pollster noted, and shows a rapid rise in support for the president among black voters, compared to Rasmussen’s own results from a year ago.

The poll showed 29 percent support for Trump among blacks on Aug. 6, compared with 15 percent on Aug. 3, 2017.

Reuters/Ipsos polls also have revealed an increase, though more modest, to 16.5 percent approval among blacks in an Oct. 18–22 survey, from 11 percent at the end of August.

Among all likely voters, Rasmussen has been tracking Trump job approval at around the 50 percent mark throughout October, compared to the 40 to 47 percent range being reported by other pollsters.

Women substituted the Democratic Party for men. Black men paid the heaviest price. Most black men I meet are entrepreneurial and make natural R voters. Last election every black Uber driver I met was voting Trump.

It’s the trend and direction that matters. Black citizens are tired of being taken for a ride by democrat plantation overseers, taken for granted, and played for fools. Lots of black citizens are naturally conservative - they have a home with us...

The thing that seperates Kanye from Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell is that he makes the case that leaving the plantation is cool, not just right. That is why he is more of a danger than Herb Cain, Condoleeza Rice, Clarence Thomas, etc.

As a lady freeper of 10 years, I was all in for Trump the first time I heard him speak about his political ideas. It was my husband who needed convincing. I asked him to watch a rally. He was then also all in for Trump.

Here’s a dangerous statement: FReeper women use their minds and are much better informed than most women I encounter (when I leave home where my wife is, of course).
FReeper women do not go by feelings and impressions as so many women in the country do.

Bill Clinton and Obama were seen as looking like “caring” after hurricanes and floods thanks to TV propaganda photo ops and many women voted for them on that basis rather than woman abuser (Bill) or costing them thousands in Obamacare.

It bothers me to think our House will be run by those horrible leftists because of vague emotional impressions of being for the children and their downtrodden illegal alien parents and having them go on American welfare as an extended chain migration family.

But they are not all zombies voting D no matter what. There is an increasingly large number of black Americans who ARE beginning to think critically about what the Democrats have done to them for decades.

In 2012, 87% of black men voted for Clinton over Romney (5% of voters). For black women, it was 96% (8% of voters).
In 2016, 82% and 94% respectively.

Trump has doubled his support among black voters from the mid teens to the mid 30s. If he can convince just 20% of them to vote for him, it would be a major swing force in the election.

My sister teaches in an almost all-black school in Baltimore. She is constantly amazed that her black teacher colleagues almost all espouse strong conservative views (self reliance, achievement, hard work, education, family, no drugs, no crime, independence, thrift, getting off welfare, saying “no” to ghetto culture) yet hate Republicans. We marvel at how the Stupid Party lost the marketing war to the Dems.

Many of them have substituted Government for a male provider in the family. They aren’t going to kill their sole source of income.

This president has the perfect last name because he is the ultimate Trump card against the democrats. The democrats must be in panic mode after seeing these numbers. The rats are done if the race card and hate can’t win them elections.

But according to the fake polls the GOP is going to lose the House because everyone hates Trump.

Even if they stay home it is devastating to the Democrats.

I applaud you but that doesn’t do us any good among Independent and dem and mildly conservative women.

And an outlier situation like yours is just that. An outlier.

I don’t think it’s a reach that dems play to maternal instinct and the desire of women to have a provider MUCH better than the Rs.

I just apologize to my wife regardless of how non factual and purely emotional her grievance is against me :)

It makes life so much easier.

But my domestic bliss and the FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY are different stakes!!

She told me about 3 years ago to STOP getting her expensive jewelry for Christmas.

So I got her monogrammed cutlery. Expensive and nice.

“you got me silverware for Christmas?!?!!” she screamed and ran into the other room sobbing.

When she found out they were monogrammed she calmed down.

I give up :)
