Three weeks ago, both Rasmussen and Emerson published polls which showed 34 percent approval by the same demographic. Leftists are in denial, of course, yet when peer reviewed results can be duplicated from multiple sources - science!
Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner puts a bow on it:
"At the Trump-Pence campaign headquarters, top organizers are seeing similar numbers. But they are cautious with their confidence, believing that the polls are just starting to capture a pro-Trump black voter trend that they want to continue.
“The only story here is that the support is increasing,” said senior campaign official Katrina Pierson. “It’s on the rise. It’s not decreasing. It’s going in the right direction,” she said.
Pierson recalled that long before running for president, Trump was respected in the black community, a friend of celebrities, such as Don King, and politicians, including Jesse Jackson.
But when he ran for the presidency, the Democratic playbook demanded that he be smeared as a “racist,” and that took root, and it has taken time to overcome.
“He couldn't understand it at first, and it’s very frustrating. But it came with the baggage of running as a Republican,” said Pierson, a longtime political aide to Trump.
“It went through a couple of years, during the campaign, where Trump’s a racist, he hates brown people, but yet he’s doing all of these things that the first black president never did for black people, and so you kind of have this new perspective on who Donald Trump is," she said.
Along the way, he has picked up support from some notable minorities such as Kanye West, who joined Trump to help push Congress to OK criminal justice reform, long promised by Democrats but never achieved."
