Quote:REPORT: Trump’s Support Among Blacks Doubles Despite Racism Claims

Trump's support among black men "significantly exceeds his 2016 vote share."

Support from the black community for President Donald Trump has doubled since 2016 despite the media and the Democrats' insistence that Trump is a racist.

The report from The Atlantic, a left-leaning publication, states that Trump's support among black men "significantly exceeds his 2016 vote share" at 23%, while his support among black women increased to 11% — an average of 17%.

That score is approximately double the support that Trump received from the black community during the 2016 presidential election, as the BBC reports that approximately 8% of black voters voted for Trump.

Exit polls from the 2016 presidential election show that only 4% of black women voted for Trump while 13% of black men voted for him, according to CNN.

Broken down by gender, Trump's support from black women has nearly tripled from 4% to 11%, while his support from black men has nearly doubled from 13% to 23%.

One possible explanation for this increase in support from the black community is the historic low unemployment rate the community is experiencing under the Trump administration which currently sits at 6.8%, the lowest number ever recorded, according to CNBC.

The unemployment rate for black Americans has been on a steady decline since 2010. It hit a high of 16.4% in August of that year, and dipped down to 7.8% in January 2017 when Trump took office. It's at 6.8% now, so great news....but is that decrease due to Donald Trump's leadership, or is it just part of the longer trend? I'm not sure you can really tell about that yet, but if it's because of the Donald, good job to him.

It's strange that those pumping up Trump for this are the same that dismissed Barack Obama about this though....

As far as the approval rating that the article suggests, it seems there are conflicting reports on that now. Some polls seem to suggest that his approval rating has actually been cut in half among black Americans. But whether the approval rating is 25% or 8%, I'm not sure that's something to be proud of.

in other news... OP's approval rating recalibrated

Numerical hocus pocus.  You can't average averages and you can't compare voting numbers to approval rating.

Gallup has consisitently polled the public regarding Trumps approval rating since he took office.  His approval rating among blacks has dropped from 15% to 6%.  Polling by Reuters and the Pew Research Center are consistent with this finding.  They also show a large drop in approval rating among African Americans.

Another false narrative from a garbage fake news website. It's trying to compare vote share with approval rating as if it's the same thing.

54% of people think Pepsi tastes good, therefore 54% of people would buy Pepsi over Coke.
