Trump Hits 36 Approval Among African-Americans New Poll Finds

Conservatives celebrate poll as a signs of Democrat trouble mounts for Mid-Term Elections Texas Insider Report: WASHINGTON D.C. A new poll from Rasmussen Reports says President Donald Trump has essentially doubled his approval rating among African American Voters. With an approval rating among African-Americans at 36 Trump has almost doubled his 19 level of support at this time last year. Said the Rasmussen firm in a tweet earlier this week: Todays @realDonaldTrump approval ratings among black voters: 36. This day last year: 19. The Rasmussen Reports survey of 1500 Likely Voters has a margin of error of 2.5 And a recent NAACP Poll showed Trumps support coming in at about 21 a staggeringly high number for a man who only won 8 of the African-American vote in 2016. No Republican Presidential Nominee has received more than 12 of the African-American vote since 1996 GOP nominee Bob Dole received 12 according to Cornell Universitys Roper Center.  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.

Trumps Black Approval is at 36 Kirk tweeted. If I was a Democrat I would be terrified. And its only going to get worse for them. @realDonaldTrump is breaking the Democrat party as we know it. 

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.
• But todays tracking poll from Rasmussen has the president at 49.
• 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. An NAACP poll released on Aug. 7 found that Trumps approval rating was at 21. And a survey conducted in June by the Pew Research Center in June found Trumps approval rating among blacks at 14. Trump proudly and frequently cites the current low unemployment figures among African-Americans as a reason voters from that demographic should support him. On Friday Trump cited those numbers in a tweet in which he also said he was honored to have the support of musician Kanye West. 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.
