Trump’s Approval Rating With African-Americans Hits Record High
Hot Air ^ | August 8,2018 | KAREN TOWNSEND

Posted on 08/08/2018 11:07:14 AM PDT by Hojczyk

President Trump’s approval rating with African-Americans now stands at 21% but to read the latest polling results released by the NAACP, you’d think Trump was the most racist human being to walk the face of the earth. It’s their narrative and they are sticking to it, even if it means twisting poll results to do it.

There is no question that this is a left-leaning polling effort. Lot of people, myself included, no longer hold a very high opinion of polls after the really wrong data produced in the 2016 election. This poll should be taken with a grain of salt, too. Also, I’ll point out that polls are more accurate if likely voters are polled, not registered voters.

In the NAACP poll, 21 percent of blacks approve of the president, up 3.5 percent over the Reuters poll, and his disapproval is 79 percent.

That is higher than the 14 percent approval among blacks that the latest Pew Research Center poll found.

And that 21 percent is far higher than the 8 percent of the vote Trump received in 2016, or the 6 percent Republican Mitt Romney received in 2012.

Still, Derrick Johnson, NAACP president and CEO, said, “Our analysis shows President Trump’s racism is a major factor in both why and how people will vote in the midterm elections. The poll confirms how Trump’s racism has not only divided the nation and polluted policy, but also serves as a key factor in motivating voters of color to disrupt politics as usual on a national scale.”

Uh huh. How about citing a single example of "Trump's racism"? Johnson speaks of this as if it were an established fact instead of a particularly aged and ineffective talking point. 21% of his bloc disagrees. If that translates to votes, say goodbye to the great Blue Wave.

If this holds, and especially if it increases, it will be curtains for the disgusting Demonrat Party.

Johnson just can't understand why some of his peeps would like to leave his handout plantation to get real jobs that actually pay better . . .

D@mn this tight labor market for making the handout plantation less attractive!

2008 “Obama will make everything better”

2016 “He didn’t but... errr.. it wasn’t his fault.”

2016 “Trump will make everything worse”

2018 “He didn’t.... yet”

At some point, it clicks

This is just what one says in a poll...

Bigger will be voting with one’s pocketbook and leaving the plantation...and more blacks getting the message.

No one is watching you when you vote...it will be bigger than 30%.

Black race-baiters and race pimps are going to hate Trump no matter what, and will vote for any democrat over a Republican. Those people are unreachable.

But there is a growing group of black Americans who see that Trump is actually trying to help working class people of all colors. And who also see that increased immigration of lower-skilled workers will hurt black Americans disproportionately.

Immigration is the single issue on which the media and elites are the most out of sync with voters in general, and Trump should hammer that.

Anyone who missed Candace Owens tearing the moron Dr Eric Dyson apart should check it out...lots of hot air, no substance. This is the essence of a rich race hustlers.

And he called her a little girl.

Race hustlers days are numbered.

167,000 signed up for #walkaway. Many are gay, black, Hispanic, legal immigrants, Jews. Some walked away years ago. Many recently. Imagine how many have walked away and haven’t “signed up” for campaign.
Attacking Candace Owens. Attacking the pastors who met with Trump.
Turning off a lot of regular folks. Now if only THEY VOTE!!

Saw him on Fox. Senate candidate John Jame is a West Point graduate, ranger qualified Apache pilot who served in Iraq and is president of James Group International, a logistics and supply chain management firm. Impressive.

I wish the NAACP’s Johnson would tell us a little more about PRESIDENT Trump’s “racism”. Like the Russki “collusion” thing, I’m not seeing it. Maybe the Johnson should pay a little less attention to the hate being spewed by the white boys and girls in the DNC’s “national media”.
