New Poll Shows President Trump Gaining Black Supporters

Over the past few weeks, rapper Kanye West has openly expressed his support for President Donald Trump after saying he likes the way conservative commentator Candace Owens thinks. Under a barrage of criticism from his peers and Hollywood, he's refused to back down. 

I love the way Candace Owens thinks— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 21, 2018

You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018

Although black voters overwhelmingly vote for Democrats, a new Reuters poll shows Trump gaining significantly with the demographic. Specifically, with black men. From the DC:

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.

On the 2016 campaign trail, Trump attempted to court black voters by saying they had nothing to lose by supporting him.

Trump appeals to black voters: What do you have to lose?

Meanwhile, unofficial White House advisor Darrell Scott is reportedly working on a summit with President Trump, Kanye West and other culture leaders about race.

If Trump’s adm can break that stranglehold Liberals have on American minorities... he will TRULY be the best President ever.

It will be a great day for American politics and we can have a genuine debate about our future as a country and a unified, stable, society

If they do then they did it with simple honesty. Praise the Lord!

I have profound admiration for any Black American who breaks the chains of the left.

It earns them approbation, not only from the left, but, often from their own friends and family.

It is a VERY courageous thing to do, and even if I don’t agree with the person on other issues, I totally respect the person for his courage.

It’s actually quite like Communists that leave communism become anti-communist and are despised by their former comrades for it. Whittaker Chambers comes to mind.

“President Trump Gaining Black Supporters”

The Democrat’s worst nightmare, apocalypse.

Even if just a few escape the plantation, the Dems are DONE.

They control states by controlling the cities, they control the cities by controlling almost all of the Black vote.

Even a small crack in that dam would destroy them.

Democrats would have a hard time winning elections in many places, without a monolithic black vote.
