[PJMedia] President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...received an astonishing surge in black support during the Republican National Convention, a new poll has found.
The latest Hill-HarrisX poll, conducted August 22-25, shows 24 percent of registered black voters approve of President Trump, a jump of 9 points from the previous survey taken August 8-11.
Trump’s support from Hispanic voters also increased to 32 points, up from 30 points in the previous survey.
In 2016, Trump won the election with 8 percent of the black vote and 29 percent of the Hispanic vote.
The Republican National Convention prominently featured minority speakers challenging the narrative that minorities are "supposed to vote" for the Democrats. The positive economic impact of Trump’s policies on minorities was a common theme, as was criminal justice reform. Biden’s recent racist remarks, like his claim that black voters who didn’t support him "ain’t black" and that black voters don’t have a diversity of thought, were also brought up several times, as were his policies.
The GOP Convention Had Better Viewership Than the Democrat Convention
[PJMedia] Across television and online streaming, the Republican National Convention got 147.9 million total viewers from Monday through Thursday, while Democratic National Convention got 122 million total viewers, according to figures released by both campaigns.
The Trump campaign also raised $76 million during its convention, compared to the $70 million the Biden campaign raised during its convention.
Post-Convention Bounce for Trump Halves Biden's Lead
[PJmedia] The first rash of post-convention polls was released today and all of them are showing a definite Trump bounce.
Trump’s post-convention bounce is about average. A bounce of two to four points is standard. But what has to have Biden sweating is that he got a dead-cat bounce from his convention while Trump is surging.
