Trump sees massive surge in the polls with surprise demographic: 'Truly historic'
UK Daily Mail ^ | May 18 2024 | JAMES CIRRONE

Former President Donald Trump is surging with a voter bloc Americans might not expect.

Black voters are flocking to Trump in huge numbers, while simultaneously leaving President Joe Biden, CNN's average of polls showed.

Trump's support among black voters surged to 22 percent compared to 2020, when the 45th president only had the support of 9 percent of the demographic.

Biden, on the other hand, saw his 81 percent of black voter support in 2020 dip to 69 percent.

Like other Americans, blacks have a right to pursue the American Dream. They seem to be realizing that the dems have taken advantage of them and kept them down, and that they are now being passed-over as dems focus on ‘newcomers’ to abuse, instead.

welfare is a private, charitable, local, or state function.
it is not properly a federal activity

President Johnson’s “Great Society” was a brilliant scheme to buy votes with our tax money (and it has worked ever since)

Just one vote different and we’d never even known who “Landslide Lyndon” Johnson was:

“The 1948 United States Senate election in Texas was held on November 2, 1948. After the inconclusive Democratic Party primary in July, a hotly contested[2] runoff was held in August in which U.S. Congressman Lyndon B. Johnson was officially declared to have defeated former Texas governor Coke R. Stevenson for the party’s nomination by eighty-seven votes.[3] The state party’s executive committee subsequently confirmed Johnson’s nomination by a margin of one vote. The validity of the runoff result was challenged before the U.S. Supreme Court due to allegations of irregularities, and in later years, testimony by the parties involved indicated that widespread fraud occurred and that friendly political machines[4] produced the votes needed for Johnson to defeat Stevenson.” —Wiki

The difference this year is that Black America saw their economic condition improve under Trump, and have seen it tank under Biden. Plus, many black people identify with Trump, the way he is being persecuted by the Man.

Trump getting the Black Vote in the high teens is very possible and would still be a catastrophe for Democrats. The models for how states and congressional districts vote changes if you do not consider the Obama years of 95+% Dem vote to be the future base line. To a large extent, what we are seeing is a reversion to mean. Think about What those models of congress look like if Republicans can get 15-18% of the black vote like they did when Reagan or Bush was president.

If blacks save the nation by overwhelmingly voting for Trump and helping him overcome massive election fraud helping him win, it be the ultimate revenge against a party that has enslaved, murdered, abused, harassed the black race for the past 158 years.

And by the way, besides doing very little to ensure election integrity, here we are now a little over 5 months away from the election and the RINO party still will not start an ad campaign revealing Bidens racist past as a segregationist just like they ignored it in 2020. Just what does this party do anyway when it comes to elections?

Trumps black support in polls collapses when actual votes are counted. I doubt this year will be different.

If Trump thinks he is going to get significant black support in the election, he’s an idiot.

Maybe Blacks liked it better when they were bringing home a paycheck.

I’m sure they’ll be an increase, however, Chicago has decades, and decades of corruption built-in into the system. Do I think it will flip, honestly no, will it make it uncomfortably close, even with fraud for them, probably

I hope you're right.

If Biden is losing the support of black voters,...

That is a very big "IF".

It sounds more like the same wishful thinking we hear every four years. It never happens. Is this the year it will be different? I would like to believe it.

Based on social media chatter....I’d say around Chicago presently....nearly half of adult blacks are persuaded to vote for Trump. Entirely possible for Illinois to be a Trump win by November. This whole migration ‘gimmick’ was not clearly thought through and considered on impact to the present population.
...
would be possible for illinois to flip but the dems control the voting apparatus there. they can and will use it to their advantage.

hey! we’re talking about chicago.

Based on years of experience and reading in politics, I believe that the era of crisis that the Left has worked so hard to produce is bringing many in the Democratic Party to question their political allegiance. The Left loves revolution and chaos as a way to power, but the general public does not and wants reform and improvement instead. When the Left creates uncertainty, most of the public recoils and seeks to protect what they have. And in 2024, that primarily means voting for Trump.

Again, you aren’t paying attention to Baris’s polling.

He does deep interviews. He always said that in 2016-2020 it would be 10 or under. He’s saying something much different today because THEY are saying something different.

I’d bet you a $50 contribution to FR that it’s above 15, or roughly double than 2020 this year.
