NAACP's own poll reveals surge in black support for Trump – and they react badly

Dependence on 90% voting support from African-Americans for electoral success is the jugular vein of the Democratic Party.  President Trump's rising support among black voters is correctly seen as an existential threat to the party's – and progressivism's – ability to win national elections.  That's why I thought it was big news last Saturday when Rasmussen proclaimed that black approval of Trump had hit 29%, even though most of the media ignored it for reasons AT readers well understand.

But the surge in black support for President Trump is real – so real that even the far-left NAACP discovered it in a poll, though that poll (perhaps with a differently worded question) put the support at 21%.  Here is a graphic presentation of the result, showing the support for Trump among various ethnicities:

What's a race victimology group to do with this?  Of course, double down on charges that Trump is a racist.  Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner:

The NAACP said in its poll analysis, "Voters across all racial and ethnic groups believe Trump is setting race relations back.  Three quarters of African-Americans, Latinos and Asian-Americans believe Trump is setting race relations back while a small majority of white voters believe so.  Black women (89 percent), in particular, feel disrespected by President Trump."

If calling Trump a racist hasn't stemmed the flow of black support his way, there is no reason to believe that shouting it more will start working.  It's almost as if the groups that purport to represent the interests of African-Americans are really more worried about their own careers.

Nobody has EVER set race relations in this country back farther than the Kenyan Usurper.

Trump is a racist because Hitler.

What other Republican got 29% black support? Even 20%?

Big blow to Dazis. (Dem-Socialists)

[PGR88]

Trump’s our first Black President!

NAACP is to Americans that are black as...

AARP is to Americans that are retired

I doubt if the blacks in Michigan are calling Trump a racist.

It isn’t just the black numbers, latino and asian ought to scare the bejeebers out of them too.

Trump only needs to pick up 5% in those groups from where we are to put the Dems out of reach.

I would suggest this....if you did the trend line from November 2016 to now....there is a trend. I would suggest there’s a one-point per month trend going on. So you might be there in November 2020....watching the news media freak out because 40-percent of the black community is voting Trump.

Same type trend for Latinos.

The racist organization is deathly afraid of losing the millions that it rakes in by falsely blaming Whitey for all the problems in the world.

Imagine a world without race hucksters like jesse jackson, al sharpton, barack obama.

DAZIS - man I’m stealing that.

I would be curious to see the breakdown between black men and black women.

Then why was Ohio so close? Where were these voters in these primaries on Tuesday? Guess they couldn’t vote cause not registered as repubs? Ryan and turtle types of #nevertrumpers are the real Trump problem...they are dimmos...rinos and they will be the undoing in nov...and if the commie dimmos that the house in nov...the county is lost forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black men support Trump more than black women 2 to 1

One liberal dogma is that people would rather get a handout for doing nothing rather than a paid job for doing something.

Native Americans, in particular (I know quite a few and share bloodlines with some), are, as a general rule, only lazy when they allow themselves to be conquered with alcohol or drug problems. That may account for the 43% approval rating, second highest to whites.

The NAACP racialists can always be counted on to reflexively act out the incredibly tired “Black outrage” game. They do it every time. Whatever they can do to hark back to the sometimes thinly veiled, sometimes overt, and always cliched anti-White act they worked so well during the 0bama admin they will do. If they were as good and righteous as they claim they would obsolete themselves. They’ll never give up the fundraising locus they are. And they probably raise 5x the money from Whites as they do from Blacks. They ain’t giving that up.

Very low turnout among Republicans + huge turnout among Dems.
