I'll also note I didn't see anything about black voters in the link in the OP it is just a generic poll of likely voters.

This is how I see it. I do not think said persons really care about Black people at all. Said persons care more about Republicans having more power than they do about Black people. The fact is, said persons know that Blacks are voting for Democrats at a clip to 88-90 percent. I believe that said persons see Blacks as standing in the way of Republicans. This is the obsession about Black people and who they vote for. It isn't about looking out for the best interest of Black Americans. It is about looking out for the best interest of conservatives and the power of the Republican Party.

Black people are warming to Donald Trump


Hardly surprising if he'll pay you $180K/year to say nice things about him.

If it is true, it's a disaster to the Democrat party.


Then again maybe they are tired of politicians like Hillary Clinton who only show up on election year with a bottle of hot sauce in the purse and an fake Aunt Jemima accent.

Since this report comes hot on the heels of the Omarosa interviews, I believe that I can safely brand any uptick in the black approval ratings fake news.

I only mention this poll because you're unlikely to read or hear about it in the liberal media.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports®
And here is something you're unlikely to hear from the conservative OP:

"Democrats continue to lead Republicans on the latest Rasmussen Reports Generic Congressional Ballot, but after two weeks of a tightening race, Democrats have expanded their lead."

Here’s some data from the Trump approval polls other than Rasmussen released today or yesterday (8-14/15):

CNN: no specific “Black” but for “nonwhite” 23% Approve 70% Disapprove

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/do...ugust_15th.pdf
Economist/YouGov: black approval 16%/disapproval 72%

https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.ne...rt.pdf#page219

Quinnipiac: black approval 9%/ Disapproval 85%

Yeah, generic ballot continues to favor Dems. And I'd be surprised in Republicans get a whole lot of black votes.
Our only hope (Republican) is that the voters get the ballot and say, "You mean THAT Dem!?" Because when taken individually, there just ain't a whole lot of them that make sense.

I'm not particularly fond of Trump or many of his policies, but I think people need to be careful about drawing conclusions about how someone "should" vote or think based on the sole factor of their race.
