DEMOCRAT NIGHTMARE! BLACK SUPPORT FOR TRUMP SURGES TO OVER 40%! Video begins at 2:50.

Reversal: Once upon a time, Democrats could count on nearly universal support from black voters. But then something happened: Donald Trump. A new survey from Rasmussen Reports less than a week before crucial midterm elections on Nov. 6 show black support for POTUS at an all-time high for any Republican president at 25 percent. Overall, the president’s approval rating is 50 percent, or six points higher than his corrupt predecessor, Barack Obama, at the same period in his miserable first term.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – In this banking center walloped by the Great Recession, where unemployment just hit a 20-year high and as many as one in three black people are out of work, blacks could easily be frustrated with President Barack Obama's insistence that a rising economic tide for all will lift African-American boats.

McCall - who trails by a wide margin in his effort to become the state's first black governor - said during a live radio interview that he was disappointed with the Democratic Party's efforts. Asked specifically whether national Democratic leaders have left minority supporters in the lurch, McCall said: "Let's get down to the bottom of it: I think that I'm not happy with what the party's done for me." Last month, Rep....

The political spillover of Middle East issues into U.S. politics is threatening the political livelihoods of some members of the Congressional Black Caucus and straining relations between black and Jewish Democrats. This is a significant political development because blacks and Jews have been traditional political allies and both have been strong pillars of support for the Democratic Party. What's more, Jews were among the strongest supporters of the civil rights movement and remain prominent in the struggle for racial justice. The most recent example was the defeat of U.S. Rep. Earl Hilliard, a five-term black congressman from Alabama's 7th District....
