Black male support for President Donald Trump doubled in just one week, according to a Reuters poll on presidential approval.
A poll taken on April 22, 2018 had Trump’s approval rating among black men at 11 percent, while the same poll on April 29, 2018 pegged the approval rating at 22 percent. It should be noted that Reuters only sampled slightly under 200 black males each week and slightly under 3,000 people overall.
Trump experienced a similar jump in approval among black people overall, spiking from 8.9 percent on April 22 to 16.5 percent on April 29.
Black males were also far more likely to say that they had “mixed feelings” about the president. On the 22nd, 1.5 percent said they had mixed feelings, while 7.1 percent said the same on the 29th.
The results are interesting given the recent transformation of Kanye West, who posted a picture of himself wearing a Make America Great Again hat on his Twitter account last week.
Anyone who doesn’t think this recent tweet storm by Kanye isn’t game changing is kidding themselves.
I wonder if Kayne reads Sowell

Now if we can just keep the conservatard cucks in the Republicuck ‘leadership’ from further ignoring the interests of their political base – white people – to preferentially cater to the dersires of their newly discovered tiny Based Black Guy™ in a MAGA hat demographic. Not that we should piss on them, particularly when we happen to have a common interest in reversing non-white immigration.
Just a reminder: There is still no Wall, and at least 30 million illegal aliens are still in the country illegally.

Wow! So now there are 40 kneegrow men in ‘Murika who be supportin’ Da Man?
I’m afraid this is utterly meaningless. I understand the deep desire for this to MATTER, and I do not denigrate the impulse. But it doesn’t make any difference.
Apparently the Blacks are so malleable and emotionally driven that they go from decades of lockstepping with the Jew Left Communists to suddenly asserting support for the nominal Right overnight.
Well, what of it? It’s not as though their support for either side is based on thoughtful evaluation of an abstract worldview, and the selection of a candidate that does the most to realize and enact their principled vision.
If your mental horsepower is of the caliber that can be swayed by a rapper chanting rhymes that would embarrass a reasonably intelligent sixth grader, then you will be just as easily swayed back to your original position the instant a different Clown comes along. Once Kanye falls out of fashion they’ll all flock back to the Marxist Left when whatever tin pot idol they are told to worship next tells them to do THAT.
This story says a great deal about black people; it says nothing about the state of our nation or its likely future. A game changer? Do they read Sowell? No and no.
When debating religion I used to frequently observe, “It’s impossible to reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into to begin with.”
The same applies here. Demagoguery used to be cause for lament; have we really fallen so far we see it as cause for renewed hope?
“Apparently the Blacks are so malleable and emotionally driven”
EVERYBODY is emotionally driven, that’s all politics is. Some more than others of course, but we aren’t Vulcans.
Greetings,
Where you are on the graph doesn’t matter. What does matter is the direction of the trend line. After all, popularity and the stock market move in similar ways. Until such time as there is a reversal, greater numbers of blacks will come out in support of the president.
As a side note, I believe this is in part caused by the fact that the Dems tried to FRAME the President for something he didn’t do. Like it or not, blacks come into contact with the criminal justice system more often than the other races and know all too well what it is like to see someone framed in some case with a glaring absence of real evidence. The Innocence Project has freed hundreds of framed men. It does happen.
It must feel horrible to be the recipient of such wonderful things such as stop & frisk while the real criminal political class commits crimes with impunity. With that said, this is the time to Red Pill as many as possible.
I don’t always enjoy a boost in approval from male darkies, but when I do, Kanye must be in town.
