Democrats are going to be bitterly disappointed as they lose their monolithic support from African Americans. Trump is doing real things to help as opposed to lip service and lousy results Dems provide.
Of course, the latest numbers will probably not be making headlines in the liberal media, as conservative commentator and radio show host Dan Bongino noted. The liberal media narrative continues to counter Trump’s support among black voters but the latest poll numbers show a different story, as the president has touted how his economy has benefited black Americans with unemployment rates at record lows, an improved economy, prison reform, and urban renewal programs.
Back in November, Emerson and Rasmussen polls reported Trump polling at 34%, and a Marist poll showed a 33% approval among black voters. Of course, the latest numbers will probably not be making headlines in the liberal media, as conservative commentator and radio show host Dan Bongino noted. The state of race relations under Trump has also been tracked and both Rasmussen and Gallup polls found an improvement under the current administration versus that of former President Barack Obama. First daughter Ivanka Trump touted the latest Gallup poll in a tweet on Thursday. “ Gallup records double-digit increases in public satisfaction with the nation’s economy, security from terrorism, military strength and the state of race relations,” since Trump took office in 2017, according to the latest survey.
“Satisfaction is also up by between six and nine points on crime, the position of blacks and other racial minorities, the distribution of income and wealth, and the opportunity for a person to get ahead through hard work,” the report indicated.
“The position of blacks and other racial minorities in the nation” saw an increase of 9 points since Obama’s exit, from 37% in January 2017 to 46% currently. And the state of race relations was at 36% this month, up 14 points from 22% at the end of the Obama administration, Gallup found.
“Americans’ average satisfaction rating for the 27 issues Gallup has tracked consistently since 2001 is now 47%. This is up three points from a year ago and is the highest since the January 2005 poll,” the report also indicated. “Today’s average satisfaction is roughly on par with the level of the early 2000s. Only in 2002 was the average for this metric substantially higher than it is today.”
And the left continues to dismiss, or outright ignore, the numbers.
Trump will be re elected
He will and I think he is going to siphon off some of the black vote from the party of division & hate. I'm guessing it could be as high as 10%

Ok everyone, the topic of the seeded article is the rise of support for Trump from African Americans and why it’s happening. Let’s stick to that please.
[deleted]
Because they're paying them to say they support him?
With "Jobs" ?
The "Horror" !!!!
So what is double of .01%?
Let's DO. The Gallup poll doesn't ask ANY questions of 'black voters'. Nor does it ask about approval for Trump. The poll is about OVERALL topics, NOT for Trump in particular.
In short, the seeded article is bullshit and relies on the gullible to perpetrate the propaganda.
The polls in question which you would know if you read the article are Rasmussen and Emerson not Gallup.
If YOU had read the article YOU would recognize that the Gallup poll is LINKED in the fucking article and it says that Ivanka 'touted it' and it talks about the Gallup poll findings for 3 fucking paragraphs.
Here's the sum total of what the seed says about Emerson and Rasmussen:
The headline in your seed is 'NEW POLLS' and the Gallup poll is a 2020 poll.
I await your correction...
Guess that the whole humble thingy doesn't translate when it comes to admitting that you're wrong about your own seed.
“The position of blacks and other racial minorities in the nation” saw an increase of 9 points since Obama’s exit, from 37% in January 2017 to 46% currently. And the state of race relations was at 36% this month, up 14 points from 22% at the end of the Obama administration, Gallup found.

Which has NOTHING to do with 'black voter approval of trump'.
FAIL.
Well maybe you can help us with that. In 2016 Trump got 8% of the black vote. Now he has a record to run on. In your honest opinion - will he improve on that 8%?
Just to get you on the record.
The TOPIC here isn't MY opinion Vic. The TOPIC, as set out by Xx is:
One would expect a modicum of EVIDENCE for that alleged rise. The seeded article provides NONE.
In other words you prefer not to answer. We all got it!
Where is Xx? He should be chastising you about staying on topic.
Here you are again pretending that you talk for more than yourself. Bad Form.
It's a simple question. I just want your opinion.
That's off topic.
That'll be the day.
That's up to the seeder/author. What are you afraid of? You can't say whether Donald Trump will get more than 8% of black support after his first term? Or you are afraid to admit that ya, he definitely will!!!!
Don't hide behind Xx's pants
Oh, he will give it to you alright. It is normally wrong, but at least he tries s/
He already has at the start of this thread. Did you miss it?
My mom and mother in law. You?
How the fuck would I know. I DO know that the seed doesn't support the headline OR what the seeder says it does though.
Again, how the fuck would I know?
Ewwww.
He wasn't asked. Dulay got the question and suddenly she can't respond!
When have you ever proven it so? Vic sure hasn't.
Ewwww was, I believe, the final response from Muhammad Ali when his jaw was broken.
I am asking you for an opinion. If you stop I will!
He’s not off topic here.
I love it when she goes straight to vulgarities when she can't prove anything she spews.
Every single time.
See the second sentence of my 4.4.22. That should answer your question.
[Deleted]
And I answered you.
That will be the day.
Oh and what are you waiting for me to stop Vic?

Rasmussen and Emerson are the ones that created specific numbers regarding African Americans support for the President. Gallup provides supplemental background info to support the assertions that things are better for African Americans in Trumps America than before he became president.
Who else?
Thank you President Trump!
Yet as YOUR seed states, those polls were conducted in NOVEMBER and therefore ant NOT the 'new polls' referred to in the headline of YOUR seed.
NO IT DOES NOT. Either you haven't actually reviewed the Gallup poll for yourself or you are intentionally posting bullshit. Why keep posting comments that are false?
BTFW Xx, I see that you are FINALLY backtracking from insisting that your seed cites data about black VOTERS. Better late than never.
Who else WHAT Xx?
You know that many cant stay on a topic like this. They have some irrestistable urge to get on these and just blather on trying to deflect.
I call bullshit on this article. Just more far right wing propaganda.
I call bs on this reply. Just more far left wing propaganda.
Support for Trump among blacks on the rise? Every point by Freida Powers is wrong. The wealth is concentrating, personal debts are increasing, public debts are higher than
ever. The cohesion of America is fractured and all of it by design. Americans are being divided by outside players and Trump is using those divisions for his own personal protection.

And yet Trump is growing his and GOP support among African Americans, Hispanic American, Asian Americans, working class Americans, and Jewish Americans.
If only you could seed an article that actually proved that. This one doesn't.
The Gallup poll shows Trump's support with Blacks and Hispanics basically as a flat line. Got anything to refute that Xx?

tRump is just paying black folks to support him. They should just take the money and still vote Democrat.
You mean with higher wages, more jobs, more support for historically black colleges, charter schools in urban areas, prison sentencing reform, and enterprise zones?
They've voted democrat for years and saw ZERO improvement. But then again ZERO is all that can be expected from a democrat.
thats for darn sure.
What now 4 black guys support Trump!?!
Gee, whatever happened to Ben?
Ben Carson
American neurosurgeon and politician
Alternative Titles: Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr.
Article Contents
Ben Carson, in full Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr., (born September 18, 1951, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.), American politician and neurosurgeon who performed the first successful separation of conjoined twins who were attached at the back of the head (occipital craniopagus twins). The operation, which took place in 1987, lasted some 22 hours and involved a 70-member surgical team. Carson also refined a technique known as hemispherectomy, in which one-half of the brain is removed to prevent seizures in persons with severe epilepsy. He later became active in politics and served as U.S. secretary of housing and urban development (HUD; 2017– ) in the administration of Pres. Donald Trump.
Ben Carson
Quick Facts
Early life and medical career
Carson spent his early childhood in Detroit. His parents divorced when he was eight years old, and thereafter he lived with his mother and brother, spending a brief period in Boston and later returning to Detroit. Although Carson showed potential as a student, he performed poorly in school until his mother challenged him and his brother with reading and writing assignments in addition to their regular schoolwork. Carson developed a newfound interest in learning and eventually earned a scholarship to Yale University, receiving a bachelor’s degree in psychology in 1973. While at Yale, he met Lacena (“Candy”) Rustin; the couple married in 1975 and had three children. He next attended the University of Michigan, earning a medical degree in 1977, and later Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore, Maryland, where he completed a residency in neurosurgery. In 1984, after a brief stint as a senior registrar in neurosurgery at the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, part of the Queen Elizabeth IIMedical Center in Nedlands, Western Australia, Carson became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins. He was one of the youngest doctors in the United States to earn such a title. He later also held professorships in plastic surgery, oncology, and pediatrics at Johns Hopkins.
In his successful separation of occipital craniopagus twins in 1987, Carson used a radical approach in which the twins’ body temperatures were lowered to the point of circulatory arrest. The success of the procedure and the reconstructive techniques employed gained Carson world renown as a pediatric neurosurgeon. In 1997, in a 28-hour-long operation, he led a team of South African and Zambian surgeons in a separation of twins conjoined at the top of the head (type 2 vertical craniopagus twins). Carson was also known for having performed the first successful rescue of a hydrocephalic twin using an intrauterine shunt. The shunt served to drain fluid under high pressure away from the developing brain of the fetus and into the amniotic cavity of the mother. Carson’s techniques for hemispherectomy and craniofacial reconstructive surgery were influential in the fields of neurosurgery and plastic surgery.
Move to politics
In 2012 Carson published America the Beautiful: Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great (cowritten with his wife), a work reflecting his growing interest in politics. The following year he appeared at the National Prayer Breakfast, a traditionally nonpartisan event organized by the Family, a Christian movement. In his keynote speech, Carson was highly critical of U.S. Pres. Barack Obama, who was in attendance, and the resulting media attention helped make Carson a rising star in conservative circles. In mid-2013 he retired as a surgeon, and the following year he joined the Fox News Channel as a commentator. In that role, he expressed his opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion and claimed that homosexuality is a choice. He also was highly critical of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In 2014 he wrote (with his wife) One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America’s Future, and the following year he entered the 2016 U.S. presidential election race. In the 2015 volume A More Perfect Union: What We the People Can Do to Reclaim Our Constitutional Liberties (also written with his wife), he issued his interpretations of the mandate established by the U.S. Constitution.
Presidential run and HUD
With his conservative agenda, Carson initially proved popular with Republican voters, and by October 2015 he was among the party’s front-runners. However, soon thereafter his campaign began to struggle when questions mounted concerning his grasp of foreign policy. In addition, his debate performances were criticized for a perceived lack of energy. After failing to win any states a month into the primary election season, Carson formally suspended his campaign in early March 2016. He was a vocal supporter of eventual winner Donald Trump, who in December 2016 announced that he would nominate Carson to serve as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In March 2017 Carson was confirmed by the Senate, 58–41, and took office shortly thereafter.
In an effort to promote self-sufficency, Carson supported rent increases for those receiving federal housing assistance or living in public housingproperties. He also sought to reduce housing regulations, including those designed to end discrimination. Such moves were met with opposition, as critics alleged that he failed to understand the complexities of the issues. In a February 2019 interview Carson suggested that he would leave HUD at the end of Trump’s term in 2021.
Other activities
In 1994 Carson cofounded the Carson Scholars Fund, an organization that awarded scholarships to students who had demonstrated academic excellence and community service. He received numerous awards during his career, including the 2008 Presidential Medal of Freedom, given to him by U.S. Pres. George W. Bush. Carson also traveled as a motivational speaker, was an outspoken supporter of creationism, and was the subject of the 2009 made-for-television movie Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story. The movie took its title from Carson’s autobiography, Gifted Hands(1990; with Cecil Murphey).
Kara Rogers The Editors of Encyclopaedia BritannicaGood Grief JA give us all a break from the nonsense.
Where has Ben been for months, no possibly years since the dining room table debacle?
I don't give a rat's ass what he did in 1973, 1990, 1994 or 2012.
What has he been doing lately as a CABINET MEMBER?
Where are all of the HUD victories, stories of TRUMP WINNING?
Carson has done a good job running that federal agency.
Carson hasn't yet figured out where the light switches are or where the restroom keys are kept.
Carson was an equal opportunity surgeon. One and done-----then out.
True, he was an average surgeon who took on cases no one else could justify and he had average results.
He marketed himself well after retirement and has written 12 books, mostly about himself since 1990.
You asked. I answered.
You obviously haven't seen Ben in Congressional hearings. I almost felt sorry for him. Almost...
A lot more than that. You will be stunned to find out on election night.
I would imagine Trump would have earned more support from African Americans if they watched the SOTU, since Trump particularly highlighted and pointed out a number of situations concerning them, such as the girl getting a scholarship, the boy wanting to go into space, his grandfather who was an original Tuskagee Airman, the man who was down and out and now is employed... It might be more telling to see new polls after the SOTU.
and it might be more important to be a black person talking to a white person who both work at say,
the equivalent jobs at a medical center in Baltimore MD and seeing if their experiences are the same or not.
Living the "dream here" is so much more accurate than opinions or than polls "from here" or questions from "over there".
Polls are so dynamic, like does anyone know how much more often Black American Independent Voters participate in polls
versus other demographics, like Canadians who live in Communist China?
Just asking, not picking a fight, it's late here so I must retire soon to avoid being grouchy tomorrow....
/s
I know that polls can be misleading because they can be manipulated so easily - the demographics that are polled, the questions that are asked, etc.
Forget that I was curious - I'll just wait and see what's reported.
You mean the one that Betsy Devos is going to pay for and claim a tax deduction?
Ya that's an AMAZING policy accomplishment isn't it? /s
Link? Proof?
There are at least a dozen articles about it. Go look.
How about just asking black voters?
In an ESSENCE x BWR poll released in September, Black women felt similarly about the man occupying the oval office. At the time, 83 percent said that the GOP leader deserved an ‘F’ for his job as president. They also expressed concern over the racism that runs rampant within our justice system. In the ESSENCE x BWR poll, criminal justice and policing reform were the number one issue going into the 2020 election.
Ok, since you put your faith in that poll, I expect you can give me your opinion. Will Trump (after a term in office) improve on his 2016 black support of 8%?
Unlike all the white folks here speaking for blacks, I went and checked what blacks thought, and they seem not to like him. I am not sure what that 8% was based on, so I will not guess as to if it will change.
The 8% was the percentage of black vote for Trump in 2016 and unlike the other "white folks" who don't want to admit it - I'll say it - HE WILL WITHOUT DOUBT IMPROVE ON THE 8% AFTER BENEFITING MINORITIES FOR 3 PLUS YEARS!
I agree. We have more minority including African Candidates running for office as Republicans at an all time high. Blexit is working and Trump has accomplished much to get many African Americans to reconsider their voting patterns.
Yes, as this chart shows, the African American unemployment rate was WAY up there and took a YUGE dip after Trump took office:

the same was true in 2016 - so, what's your point?
IF 1/3 of black voters support trump?
the dems simply can not win.
