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.

    Misogyny and bravado. Same for a lot of the Latino and Muslim communities. If the election were rerun tomorrow they’d probably just not vote. People with these personalities will never vote for a woman.

      Which, sadly, is why the Dems need to stop nominating women for president if we’re ever able to have free elections again. I don’t have much hope that will happen, though, since he’s admitted he only “won” the 2024 election because “Elon knows how those vote counting machines work.”
