Despite brief post-election bounce, Trump has struggled throughout term to get majority approval from Black voters
Donald Trump appears to have lost of goodwill he had among Black voters during the 2024 presidential campaign, according to a new poll.
Among African-Americans, 71.5 percent disapprove of Trump’s presidency so far, while just 24.1 percent approve, according to a Decision Desk HQ average of polls current through July 7.
The president hasn’t gotten majority approval from Black voters since the end of his first week back in office, according to the aggregator, but the latest numbers represent a notable increase in discontent, after Trump had a 63.7 percent average disapproval rating among the voting demographic in mid-June.
People genuinely take pride in not reading articles (or, as is obnoxiously common on lemmy, losing their god damned minds over a paywall). Same with how nobody watches the news and takes pride in “valuing my mental health”
The vast majority of those voters likely only knew about trump from a few clips from his rallies or hearing a “friend” talk about him. They never actually listened to a complete non-sentence or looked at any of the policy stances.
Which, to be clear, is not an excuse. It is an explanation.
My comment was mostly about the stuff I mentioned in the second and third paragraphs.
Which is irrelavent when the vast majority of americans STILL don’t know the first thing about trump other than his slogans.
