Trump at 36 Approval Among African-Americans New Poll Finds

The stunning data spells disaster for Democrats just months away from the 2018 Mid-Term Election. Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. Donald Trump has nearly doubled his approval rating among African Americans in the last year. Even as cable news networks debate reported about Omarosa Manigault Newmans White House departure a new poll from Rasmussen Reports says that the presidents approval rating among African-Americans is at 36 nearly double his support at this time last year. And an NAACP poll released on Aug. 7 found that Trumps approval rating was at 21. No Republican Presidential Nominee has received more that 12 since GOP nominee Bob Dole in 1996. Said the Rasmussen firm in a tweet: Rasmussen Reports   ✔@Rasmussen_Poll   10:19 AM - Aug 15 2018

Todays @realDonaldTrump approval ratings among black voters: 36. This day last year: 19 http://bit.ly/preztrack  @POTUS @realDonaldTrump

And a recent NAACP Poll showed Trumps support coming in at about 21. That is a staggeringly high number for a man who only won 8 of the African-American vote in 2016. Conservatives celebrated the poll as a sign of trouble for Democrats in upcoming elections. Charlie Kirk the founder of the conservative campus group Turning Point USA cited the poll as evidence that Trump is breaking the Democrat party as we know it.

@realDonaldTrump is breaking the Democrat party as we know it. Trumps Black Approval is at 36 Previous GOP Election Best Was 12 in 1996. If I was a Democrat I would be terrified. And its only going to get worse for them

A post on Fox News host Sean Hannitys blog cheered the apparent increase in support which defies the non-stop media attacks.

The stunning data spells disaster for Democrats just months away from the 2018 midterm election with the partys base beginning to fracture as the economy roars to life under President Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress the post says. 

Trump frequently cites Rasmussen polls because they consistently show him with a higher approval rating than other polling organizations. For example the Real Clear Politics average currently has Trump at 43 approval. And while Trump has never topped 46 on the RCP average Rasmussen has shown Trump with approval ratings as high as 59.  But other polls have also shown an increase in support for Trump among African-Americans  albeit a more modest increase than Rasmussen found. And a survey conducted in June by the Pew Research Center in June found Trumps approval rating among blacks at 14. Although a vast majority of African-Americans still disapprove of Trumps job as president those numbers represent an improvement from his share of the vote in 2016. No Republican presidential candidate has done better than 12 among blacks since Bob Dole in 1996 according to Cornell Universitys Roper Center.  Trump proudly and frequently cites the current low unemployment figures among African-Americans as a reason voters from that demographic should support him. Trump cited those numbers recently in a tweet in which he also said he was honored to have the support of musician Kanye West. Donald J. Trump   ✔@realDonaldTrump   5:58 PM - Aug 10 2018

Thank you to Kanye West and the fact that he is willing to tell the TRUTH. One new and great FACT - African American unemployment is the lowest ever recorded in the history of our Country. So honored by this. Thank you Kanye for your support. It is making a big difference!

In May Trump boasted to a crowd at a National Rifle Association convention that Wests endorsement had doubled his percentage of African-American supporters after a Reuters poll showed it went from 11-to-22 in one week.  Kanye West must have some power because you probably have saw I doubled my African-American poll numbers Trump said. Thank you Kanye! The Rasmussen Survey of 1500 Likely Voters has a margin of error of 2.5.
