On Monday, CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said that former President Donald Trump is “careening towards a historic performance for a Republican presidential candidate, the likes of which we have not seen in decades.”
“I keep looking for this to change, to go back to a historical norm, and it, simply put, has not yet. So this is the margin, or Biden and Trump among black voters, compared to where we were at this point in 2020, compared to where we are now. At this point, look at this. In 2020, Joe Biden was getting 86% of the African American vote. Look at where it is now. It’s 70%, that’s a 16-point drop, John,” Enten told host John Berman.
“And more than that, it’s not just that Joe Biden is losing ground. It’s that Donald Trump is gaining ground. You go from 7%, single-digits at this point in 2020, to now 21%, and again, John, I keep looking for signs that this is going to go back to normal, and I don’t see it yet in the polling of anything right now. We’re careening towards a historic performance for a Republican presidential candidate, the likes of which we have not seen in six decades.”

Biden is a big loser in Iowa so far.
Gold standard poll in Iowa I was just referencing. They nail it there every year. Biden approval is 28%! in Iowa. If he loses Iowa by 18, this race isn’t going to be close. Trump beat Biden by 8 in 2020. https://t.co/WaP73xTIH7

MLK and MOST black peoples were Republican until LBJ started ‘welfare’. Fact.
That is a certified fact.
Trump has been breaking records for 8 years.
I think he is the most popular President in the history of the USA…or will soon be.
Which makes jealous-envious people hate him more.
Unfortunately that means the jealous-envious will rig the election even more.
I hope so many people vote for Trump that democrats will not be able to produce enough fake votes this time.
My hope is some what mitigated by fears of greater vote fraud.
Exactly. Unless there are some real checks to ensure voter integrity (which there will NOT be in blue states and even in corrupt governments like Georgia and Arizona), the election will be stolen again.
