The Rise of Black Support for Trump
Since President Trump's win in 2016, black support for him has more than tripled, now
exceeding 20 percent in some surveys. Polling suggests that black people and other minorities who once spurned President Trump now appear willing to give his candidacy a fresh look—a trend that could help spell the difference between victory and defeat. Three main factors appear to be spurring black people to pivot toward President Trump: the economy, the criminal justice system, and the influence of other black people going public with their support.
