The liberal coalition is crumbling!
Two new surveys reveal what every Democrat fears most: President Donald Trump’s approval ratings are climbing where they least expect it.
He’s picking up support from black voters.
A little-seen detail in a Survey Monkey poll earlier this month found Trump’s support among black voters is now at 17 percent.
That’s more than double the 8 percent of the black voters he picked up in 2016 (which was already well ahead of the 6 percent who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012).
And that’s not the only good news for the president.
A CBS/YouGov survey found 4 percent of black voters are strong Trump supporters and another 10 percent are Trump supporters as long as he keeps delivering.
That’s a total of 14 percent.
If Trump wins 14 percent of the black vote in the next election, it would represent the most won by a Republican since 1976, when 17 percent of African-Americans voted for President Gerald Ford.
But Trump also has a chance to top those numbers.
In what should be even more alarming news for liberals, a stunning 22 percent of black voters who DON’T support him say they’d reconsider if Trump did a good job.
Many of them might be reconsidering already as new data shows that unemployment among blacks is at 6.8 percent, its lowest rate since 1972.
In other words, black unemployment is lower now… under Trump… that it was at any time under Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president.
No wonder African-Americans are abandoning the Democratic party!
Put it all together, and you have a recipe for a progressive disaster – not to mention an overwhelming Trump landslide in 2020.
“[Democrats] are terrified that this president gets somewhere north of 10 to 15 percent of the black vote,” Niger Innis, spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality, said on the “Laura Ingraham Show” last week. “And they’re terrified because, if that happens, then it is first of all, mathematically, electorally impossible for a Democrat to win.”
He said Democrats are so “invested” in monopolizing the black vote that they are absolutely powerless without it.
“That monopoly is based on blacks as forever seeing themselves as victims, forever seeing themselves as victims of racism, of economic depravity of the white man,” he said.
Instead of being victims, they could end up some of the biggest beneficiaries of the Trump economic boom, with more jobs and – most importantly – more money.
“Unemployment for Black Americans is the lowest ever recorded,” Trump tweeted Tuesday. “Trump approval ratings with Black Americans has doubled. Thank you, and it will get even (much) better!”

This shouldn’t be too surprising to insiders.
A Horn analysis of the 2016 election found a small surge in black voters delivered the election to Trump, especially in critical swing states such as Florida.
Now, that trend is only growing in a seismic shift that could change American politics forever.
Of course the ‘fake news’ media is livid over this.
The Washington Post, New York Times, The Hill and everyone else is going on and on and on about how polling “doesn’t work that way.”
You can’t compare a Survey Monkey survey today to exit poll results from more than a year ago, they claim as they conveniently ignore the nearly identical numbers in the CBS poll.
But according to them and the polls that the MSM trusts the most… Hillary Clinton won the 2016 election.
We all know how well that turned out.
