Exclusive poll: Black Americans motivated by Trump to vote in 2020

Exclusive poll: Black Americans motivated by Trump to vote in 2020

"SNIP.....

A majority of black Americans are more interested in voting in the 2020 presidential election than they were in 2016, according to a national survey of 1200 black voters and non-voters conducted by Third Way and the Joint Center.

Why it matters: Black voter turnout declinedsignificantly in 2016 nationally and in key swing states, ultimately contributing to Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump. New details from focus groups and polling suggests that the motivation to remove Trump from office is firing up black Americans to head to the polls next November.
.....

They also commissioned a quantitative survey that goes beyond the 2020 horse race to better understand how these Americans are feeling and thinking about things like the economy, immigration and other issues central to the next election.

Black Americans' increased motivation to vote next year stems from an intense opposition to President Trump and a belief that he "has been a disaster for our country, and we need to do everything we can to vote him out," according to the survey.

All this BASHING of the ONLY party that can stop putin from a complete take over of our country, sure does not help.

Not just to encourage dems, but to strike fear into the GOP. Especially anti-American senators of the KGOP.

White people vote for Trump - in much larger percentages than black people do - even though he's done terrible things to white people.

Black folks have seen Trump coming since the 70s, Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous, and even on Oprah.

He was full of shit back then and full of shit now.

Thank God for them!

We need that voting bloc. Most encouraging to hear that they’re fired up. That’s what we need, who we need, and how - and how much - we need them.

This is what makes me think Joe Biden may be our best bet.
