Donald Trump Has Doubled His Support Among Black Voters: New Poll
Newsweak ^ | Aug 23, 2024 | Mandy Taheri

Former President Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, has doubled his support among Black voters, a recent Morning Consult poll found.

A Morning Consult survey of 11,501 registered voters conducted between August 15 and August 18, 2024, found that Trump has garnered significantly more backing from Black voters compared to his 2020 run. The 2024 poll shows 21 percent of Black voters supporting Trump, a 12-percentage point increase from a 2020 Morning Consult poll. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.

Trump's increase in support among Black voters contrasts with the poll's findings for Democratic candidates. In 2020, then-candidate Joe Biden received 81 percent support, according to the poll. The Pew Research Center found that Black voters overwhelmingly supported Biden in the 2020 election, with 92 percent backing his candidacy.

In August 2024, the poll found newly-named Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris with 72 percent support among Black voters. While Harris still polls significantly better than Trump among Black voters, she lacks the percentage growth seen by the GOP candidate in this survey.

this is just a Morning Consult survey but this trend has been noted before, particulary with young black men. She can't win if this holds.

And yet, he will likely still "lose" to Cackles Harris in November, where she will get 90+ million "votes".

I'd love to be wrong on this, obviously.

How is it tied in the polls with this result?

If true, this is good news.

But for me to be a real believer, I need to see that level of support at the polls.

After Election Day when exit polls show a significant increase for Trump from black voters, I’ll believe it.

Because they wish to tell people it’s tied in the polls.

Blacks need to realize what’s pouring across our borders isn’t just to replace “the white man”.........

Blacks have had three and a half years to see this Democrat Administration (and its BLACK Vice President) deliver on their promises of 2020. None of them have been realized and the HARRIS/WALZ campaign lying about it doesn’t counteract what black voters (and whites, too) are experiencing with the economy in their day-to-day lives.

Do Republicans even have a ballot harvesting strategy? A strategy to have 60+ million early votes banked before election day? Seems to me, that what would be needed to win. No strategy means Rats will over perform like 2022.

21% of the 12% total “Black” population OR
21% of the 50% of the 12% the does/can vote OR
21% of the 10,000% of the 12% who’s votes are tabulated OR
nevermind...

I want to know where he stands with 0.19% of the population who are “Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander”

Hey a vote is a vote right! Even if it (hope I’m wrong) has already been decided for Kamaltoe long ago.

That would be approximately 35% for black men and 5% for black women.

Just say The Color Purple was a hit piece on black men where Whopee, Oprah, and Danny Glover, laughed all the way to the bank.

Don’t forget the Joo director Steven Spielberg but one should leave that fact out.

Paraphrasing Trump from just the other day:
We have the votes. We're now going to focus on election integrity.

It does seem like there’s been some warning signs type articles from the media towards Harris suddenly. Hmm.

Once black democrat voters realize that, the democrat party has not and will not be good for them,

the democrat party will become such a minority that, they might as well cease to exist.

That’s why the democrat party always desperately tries to keep blacks scared of the republican party. Keeping blacks voting democrat is a life and death decision for the party.

Some blacks don’t like the foreigners taking their jobs and getting all those government benefits.
