  1. I’m sure the GOP is working hard to gerrymander their vote into irrelevance, so they won’t care.

  2. Trump’s net approval rating among Black voters has dropped by 25 points since May, according to The Economist/YouGov polls.

    The most recent poll, conducted between August 1 and 4 among 1,702 U.S. adults, found just 11 percent of Black respondents approve of Trump’s job performance, while 84 percent disapprove, giving him a net approval rating of -73.

    In the survey conducted in early May, 22 percent of Black voters said they approved of the job Trump was doing, while 69 percent disapproved, giving him a net approval rating of -47. Trump’s net approval ratings among Black voters in polls conducted in June and July were -54 and -64 respectively.

  7. The fact that he had a positive view amongst any black voters will always mystify me.

  8. Newsweek alternates this headline weekly using either “collapse” or “plunge”.

  9. I thought it was my turn to post the Newsweek article saying Trump’s approval rating is plummeting??

  11. Good news for the GOP is that the Voting Rights Act will finally be given its Last Rites soon by the Roberts Court so they’ll never need their votes again.

    And what’s good news for the GOP is bad news for democracy.

  12. ***Collapses***. They voted for him to get another term. We’re not even through his first year back. Everyone said how shitty he is, it’s clearly evident in everything the man has ever said and done. He’s a shady rich guy who makes shit up and shits on everyone.

    I couldn’t give two shits about approval ratings. Hail to the King, Trump voters.

  13. This should of crashed a years ago when he was being racist and sexist.  
    Sadly these morons will say they hate him but they will still vote republican.  Republicans are very low IQ.

  14. That he had *any* approval with black, LGBTQ, recent immigrant voters is astonishing.

  15. He made sure to be seen with some black celebrities, but that only fools so many.

  16. It was never high to begin with. Even with his increase with black voters.

  17. I’ve always thought these were all oxymorons: Black Republican, gay Republican, female Republicans, brown Republican, Asian Republican, non-evangelical Republican, etc

  18. His bragging about “getting away with” sexual assault on multiple occasions, should have been the end of his career, and not just political.

    Anyone who supported him despite that are just purely immoral and corrupt people who care nothing for others and don’t even respect themselves.

  19. Aren’t black voters the only demographic Trump couldn’t break through to since they overwhelmingly voted against him?

  20. He doesn’t give a fuck, if the election was next month they could run those algorithms again and they would hypnotize and entertain plenty of targets regardless. I thought the “gorditas” meme they ran on tiktok was particularly insidious.

  21. Would’ve thought his opening with a “DEI” purge from government would’ve done this sooner.

  23. The fact that ANY black person would vote for an obvious racist white supremacist is mind blowing.

  24. as a gen z heterosexual, cis, half native American and half Caucasian man from Louisiana… how anybody voted for this bumbling dumbass over Kamala is a mystery to me. I mean he was openly racist, sexist, everything you can think of that invokes repulsion he was. I mean I understand the podcast out there, but still. Just listen to the man speak.

  25. The black people who still support him should read the entire Wikipedia page about his views on race.

  26. “Central Park Five” should’ve been a clue. Dems brought it up during their convention and had two of them speak, but most of the country didn’t watch. They should’ve been blasting that in every swing market among other things.

  29. It literally doesn’t matter. He could get a zero approval rating and it does not matter.

  30. They can go pound sand for supporting him this election when the pedo also has a very known history of racism.

  31. Literally doesn’t matter. He won’t be taking part in another election.

  32. “Nobody knows black peoples better than Trump! He is the King of Blackness. People tell him that all the time”

  33. With him and the MAGAfied GOP wrecking independent courts, separation of power as a whole and also the integrity of the voting system, I can only hope that this still matters and that there will be a time after this inhumane bullshit.

  34. Maybe Dems should focus on their messaging and bench — because the fact Trump was a preferred candidate to a growing number of working class Americans in any race is WILD.

  35. That will really affect him in the 2024 election!!!

  36. When did he ever poll well with black people. The man openly hates them!

  37. Trump has the swagger that’s been missing in American politics.

    He’s playing that until the wheels fall off. Overall he mostly hates people except a very small demographic.

    How about those Epstein files?

  38. They were never that high for black voters to begin with, so don’t try to pin it on them.

  41. The fact it was up highlights the education issue in the US

  42. “Collapse” feels like a word that should apply to going from positive to negative approval.

    Going from -47 to -73 isn’t so much a “collapse” as “the rubble settling further”.

  43. While I’m not surprised, black people voting for Trump seems crazy to me. He’s a committed racist and always has been.

  45. Was it that he did the things he said he was going to do?

  46. The Assistant to the DEI Officer at my job was a Black woman who voted for Trump, and now doesn’t have a job because of it. I can’t even fathom the choice.
