from WND:



Rasmussen continues to poll President Donald Trump’s support among black likely voters, and for the second week in a row, those numbers show that a game-changing political realignment could be underway.


Trump narrowly won the 2016 election but garnered only about 8 percent of the black vote, according to exit polling.


His opponent, Hillary Clinton, received 88 percent of the black vote in the race.

The notion has been that if Trump could increase his support in that community by even several points, he could poach away at a voting bloc which Democrats desperately need.


Rasmussen shows he’s overperforming expectations.


Rasmussen Reports survey of black likely voters published last week found Trump’s approval rating started went from 25 percent on Monday, Oct. 19, to 46 percent on Friday, Oct. 30.


On Thursday, the pollster reported that nearly one-third of black likely voters said they would vote for Trump after being asked: “If the presidential election was held today, would you vote for Donald Trump or Joe Biden?”


The president started the week off with a robust 27 percent support from black likely voters, and by Thursday, it was at 31 percent.


According to the Washington Examiner, the polling for Thursday’s results was conducted between Monday and Wednesday among 1,500 people, with a margin of error of + /- 2.5 percentage points.




Rasmussen is a credible pollster, but still, the numbers are hard to fathom.


But even others in the polling industry are finding that Trump is potentially much more popular with black voters than any other GOP candidate for president in recent memory.


As the statistical analysis website FiveThirtyEight conceded last week, “Trump is performing slightly better than last time among college-educated white voters, and he has gained among voters of color, especially Hispanic voters and younger Black voters.”


We don’t know how significant those gains are, but if the numbers reported by Rasmussen are even remotely correct, this could be the story of this election and of future elections.


Democrats count on the black vote to survive as a party, which is partially why they spend such a great deal of time attempting to paint their opponents as being racist.
