Reuters Poll: Black Male Approval For Trump Doubles In One Week
2018-05-03
[Daily Caller] Black male support for President Donald Trump doubled in just one week, according to a Reuters poll on presidential approval.

A poll taken on April 22, 2018 had Trump’s approval rating among black men at 11 percent, while the same poll on April 29, 2018 pegged the approval rating at 22 percent. It should be noted that Reuters only sampled slightly under 200 black males each week and slightly under 3,000 people overall.

Trump experienced a similar jump in approval among black people overall, spiking from 8.9 percent on April 22 to 16.5 percent on April 29.

Black males were also far more likely to say that they had "mixed feelings" about the president. On the 22nd, 1.5 percent said they had mixed feelings, while 7.1 percent said the same on the 29th.

The results are interesting given the recent transformation of Kanye West, who posted a picture of himself wearing a Make America Great Again hat on his Twitter account last week.

#14  Black males seeing jobs returning after a long time and rediscovering their pride.

Do not forget, a lot of blacks migrated out of the south to work in Democrat cities because of jobs, and they started voting Democrat while there. Votes and jobs are linked.

Trump needs to keep the job numbers improving and the left will lose all but the fringe.

#12  Not that I'm paranoid, but, I won't be surprised if Mr. West is the target of some unwelcome attention very shortly. The Left can't let them uppity Nigg*** start thinking for themselves can they?

Turned past TMZ and got a segment where they had both people of color on their staff...though one was whiter than Obama but dreads...start bagging on Kanye, with a room of sodden white people nodding in sad approval.

I watched for a little bit and it was so lame, so predictable.

#11  Whiskey Mike, I saw Slappy Maxies comments. I figure that's the warning.

We'll have to wait and see what the action is. Between ANTIFA, BLM, Crips, etc. they have choices.

#10  “I was sleeping, but now I’m woke.”

Planned Parenthood simply cannot keep up with urban exterminations and transition to an immigrant, fully democratic voting society.

#9  Minority and victim pandering is all they have for a political platform. Minorities stop voting for them, they will be finished as a party and they know it.

Thus the vicious vitriol against those that speak or act against the approved group-think.

Ironically this will just make more people leave faster.

#6  And this from Kim Kardashian West. I nearly fell out of my chair when I read it. She defended her husband. Credibly.

"Kim Kardashian West slammed mainstream media critics attempting to demonize her husband Kanye West after the Grammy-winning rapper-producer publicly expressed support for President Donald Trump." And she went OFF on the critics. Whoda thunk it. That was from a Breitbart article.

What is the world coming to when Kim is a voice of reason.

#5  AlanC, did you miss auntie Waters comment on Monday? They are already trying to drag him back in chains.

"Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on Monday weighed in on Kanye West's recent comments about President Trump, praising the rapper for his contributions to the African-American community while also saying he sometimes "talks out of turn."

Talks out of turn. Wow. Slavemaster much, Maxine?

#4  Victor, that was exactly my thought. If Kanye stands firm for a few more weeks this could be a Yuuge change.

Not that I'm paranoid, but, I won't be surprised if Mr. West is the target of some unwelcome attention very shortly. The Left can't let them uppity Nigg*** start thinking for themselves can they?
