Even the NAACP’s own poll puts Trump’s African-American approval at 21% - a record high for him (was 8% on the day of the election).

Trump’s approval numbers are underwater for all voters of color, and for no racial/ethnic group of voters surveyed does he have majority approval.

If Trump gets 20% of the black vote in 2020, the election will be an epic landslide.

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%), in particular, feel disrespected by President Trump. This is a likely contributor to why African American women voters have had high turnout in recent off year and special elections – witness Alabama and Virginia.Trump’s strategy of trotting out black people to support him is not working, if it is intended to inspire African American support for him or his policies. Black celebrities like Kanye West or Dennis Rodman who support Trump do not help Trump’s support among African American voters. To the contrary, more than three times as many black voters say that black celebrities speaking on Trump’s behalf makes them less interested in listening to or supporting Trump’s ideas than black voters who say it would make them more open to listening to or supporting Trump’s ideas. A majority of black voters say these celebrities have no impact.  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. 2,045 registered voters were interviewed in the 61 congressional districts deemed most competitive by Cook, CNN and Crystal Ball, and the overall poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.1%.

21% = landslide.

 Approval doesn’t mean they will vote for him vs someone else. He’s unpopular among black voters 

[Bormio]

2,045 likely voters in this poll....really?

That is not a credible example of African American voters.

That actually is a pretty good number for a national poll.

[Bormio]

Just now, Sportsnut said:

Won't be anywhere that.

Besides, blacks won't be the only people voting against him.

8% on 11/8/16 and he got more than 8% of the black vote.

Same answer as above.  His vote exceeded his approval in 2016.

How?

Blacks make up 13% of the pop.

2,045 is not even a good sampling.

For polling purposes it is - most political polls have less than that.

margin of error was 2%.

If one wants to see if there is an actual shift in support, they should ask the same participants from the previous poll.

Do you know what a poll is?

I agree with them leaving the Dems, but to go to the repubs is just as naive and closed minded.  they went from one plantation to the next. They need to ask Michael Steele if we are wanted and appreciated.

What would you see as the alternative?  A black-identity based party would maybe get a few House seats and state legislature seats in majority-minority districts, but would never get Senate representation, win a governorship, or get anywhere close to the White House.

I always liked Steele.  Wish he had won the MD Senate seat back in 2006.  He ran a good campaign but MD is a very liberal state generally and 2006 was a bad year to have an "R" next to your name.

It’s bigger than the usual national poll sample. 

Add basic statistics to the ever growing list of things that you don’t know dick about.

Be an independent (that’s what I am) and not a voting bloc to either party.  Frankly national representation has not worked out too great bc it has created complacency and corruption. 

We all have very different national issues anyways, what’s important to me is not important to another black.  

At the lower level (city level) though I think identity politics is more relevant bc you can have issues that are localized to one demographic, people tend to live in segregated areas so schooling in those areas, business development, infrastructure, etc. are critical points.

"Only polled the 61 congressional districts deemed most competitive"

Read and comprehend son.

So it is not a snapshot representative of African American voters.

Okay. 

Stats 101. Feel free to get some at your convenience.

White guys on this board are telling you the opposite.  You know they would never do you wrong.

This could be a legit criticism.  Inner city CD’s with high African-American votes are typically not competitive.  There could be a sampling bias.
