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.

    It’s assuming the Dem Party doesn’t sabotage their own candidates

    The party is the DNC

    The DNC is a dictatorship controlled by the chair

    You don’t have to guess what kind of chair Ken Martin is, he was Minnesota’s chair for a decade and that track record stands for itself.

    He’s already purging out old guard committee members, did a 180 on the flow of money between states and DNC, openly advocates for voters deciding the platform via fair primaries…

    Like, not as a personal dog, but the overwhelming amount of people complaining about the DNC just aren’t up to date on what’s happening

      Fair point! I am not up to date TBH.

      I guess I’m pretty jaded too. The DNC getting things together!? What is this?

        The DNC getting things together!?

        The biggest thing:

        https://democrats.org/news/dnc-and-asdc-announces-organize-everywhere-win-anywhere-strategy-largest-ever-monthly-dnc-investment-into-democratic-state-and-territory-parties/

        You may have seen articles about how two “union leaders” gave up on the party as well…

        The thing is, they were both superdelegates who sat on the committee that have been influencing primaries to favor neoliberals, and one of them even tried to go against the primary results and give it to Hillary in 08.

        Don’t expect the media to portray things accurately, it’s all owned by billionaires who would rather have a Republican than a progressive.

        And this wasn’t a sudden overnight response to the 2024. The DNC is ~400 voting members who maybe get to vote for a chair every four years, if a Dem becomes president they name a chair.

        That group of ~400 have been moving left for decades, it’s just that we finally reached the tipping point. We can’t afford to slip like with Obama, and if I went into why 08 didn’t fix the party this comment would be 10x as long
