NAACP's own poll reveals surge in black support for Trump – and they react badly By Thomas Lifson Dependence on 90% voting support from African-Americans for electoral success is the jugular vein of the Democratic Party. President Trump's rising support among black voters is correctly seen as an existential threat to the party's – and progressivism's – ability to win national elections. That's why I thought it was big news last Saturday when Rasmussen proclaimed that black approval of Trump had hit 29%, even though most of the media ignored it for reasons AT readers well understand. But the surge in black support for President Trump is real – so real that even the far-left NAACP discovered it in a poll, though that poll (perhaps with a differently worded question) put the support at 21%. Here is a graphic presentation of the result, showing the support for Trump among various ethnicities: What's a race victimology group to do with this? Of course, double down on charges that Trump is a racist. Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner: The NAACP said in its poll analysis, "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 percent), in particular, feel disrespected by President Trump." If calling Trump a racist hasn't stemmed the flow of black support his way, there is no reason to believe that shouting it more will start working. It's almost as if the groups that purport to represent the interests of African-Americans are really more worried about their own careers.

CNN thinks too many Latinos like President Trump Ronald Brownstein of CNN is in a panic. "Democrats have hit an unexpected speed bump in their drive to regain control of Congress: unsettling signs that the party may not generate as much turnout or support among Latino voters this fall as it expected," he wrote. Despite an endless stream of negative stories on CNN and elsewhere about President Trump, a growing number of Hispanic voters support him. And the wall. Democrats are worried that they won't be able to scare people into voting against President Trump's candidates this fall. "While cautioning that there is still time to reverse the trend, they point to signs of wavering Hispanic support and engagement in House districts in Texas, Nevada, Florida and California, and in Senate races in Texas, Nevada, Florida and Arizona," Brownstein wrote. Polls nationally show President Trump's job approval is up 10 points among Hispanic voters. We know why. Jobs. Breitbart News reported, "The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday the Hispanic unemployment rate sunk to a record low in the month of July — marking two consecutive months where this figure hit all-time lows. "The Hispanic unemployment rate dropped from a previous record of 4.6 to 4.5 percent in July. "President Donald Trump has made job creation for minority groups a focal point of his America First economic agenda. In a meeting with inner-city pastors this week, President Trump highlighted the falling unemployment rates among the African-American community." Cracking down on MS-13 and other people who prey on Hispanic communities also should help drum up support for our president. Democrats need to offer something more than anti-Trump vitriol. Calling him Hitler backfires once people notice he ain't Hitler. Original Article Original Article
