How much will that translate down ticket. There seems to be more "noise" around blexit and what not. If that moves 200 basis points of votes from D to R (a net awing of 400 basis) points does that move the needle on the midterms?

Say instead of the historical 95% going D and 5% going R (roughly) that swings to 93%D/7%R. A small move like that could be huge and given Trump's reportedly high approval rating among Blacks could it happen?

Also does anyone else find it odd that Trumps overall approval rating is around 50% and his approval rating among blacks is 40%? Seems like with that high of approval in the black community his overall approval would be higher.

At the end of the day, I just dont see the black culture as beta cuckish as the left is headed towards. It just does not line up. They had 8 years of Obama and what changed?


Not a fricking thing.

Latino culture is the exact opposite of beta males, yet they still vote Dem at a good clip. I don't get it

I haven't seen the GOP do much of anything to gain Hispanic votes. What are they doing exactly?

Apparently some Rasmussen poll had that #.

Other polls have it at around 16-17 percent.

Doesn’t matter if it’s 100%, if there is a black candidate

That was in reference to the Dems going after them hard now. Need more in the country to combat losing some of the black vote.

Anecdotally there's no way I believe that number. I'd be surprised if it was over 15%.

I think this has been posted multiple times - being that the results are positive for Trump this poll is considered bona fide.

The republicans won’t care, they think their votes still only count 5/8ths of a vote

It's not 40% but even a swing to 15% or even 10% would be a huge hit the the DNC and Democrat candidates.

I've said it before; the Dems are talking about the mythical blue wave but the real convo needs to be about the Reps gaining the black wave.

If that 40% number was correct, his overall approval would be at least high 60s low 70s. There's no way 40 % is even close to being correct.
