A new poll shows that there was a significant uptick in support for President Trump among black males following tweets from hip-hop mogul Kanye West appearing to back the president.

According to a Reuters poll taken April 29, 22 percent of black males approved of the president’s job performance, up from 11 percent one week earlier. Seven percent of the demographic also reported having “mixed feelings” about the president, up from 1.5 percent.

Seventy-one percent of the cohort still said they disapproved of Mr. Trump’s performance in office.

Support among black females remained relatively steady over that same span, increasing slightly from 6 to 9 percent.

Overall, the Reuters poll found 41 percent of the country approved and 54 percent disapproved of Mr. Trump’s job performance.

That should be 22% approval in the headline.

combined with Kanye putting an arrow through the brainwashing universe of black America and record low black unemployment rates with Trump, I think we’ll see some solid movement out of the dark fog for some. If it happens it groups and numbers like this poll then I am deeply grateful. It serves us surely. But for those that awaken it is a freedom from a very long bondage.

It shows that black men are looking for black, male leadership.

Imagine if another young black "celebrity" would do what Kanye is doing.
It would rock the black community.

“Support among black females remained relatively steady over that same span, increasing slightly from 6 to 9 percent.”

A 50% improvement is “increasing slightly”?

My guess is the number of black men that will ADMIT to liking Trump doubled.

I welcome anyone supporting Trump even if Kanye is probably doing it for the publicity.

That makes Kanye the Most Dangerous Man in America.

The Dems now have no choice but to try and take him out.

This is not gonna be pretty.

One should include the caveat that this is a small sample size, but doubling the number is still impressive.
