If you’re a member of the media, you might want to sit down for this.  Even after months and months of speculation that President Donald Trump is a racist, the American people are not buying it.

A new poll from Rasmussen Reports says that the president’s approval rating among African-Americans is at 36 percent

That’s almost twice as much as last year at this time, according to a tweet from the polling agency. “Today’s @realDonaldTrump approval ratings among black voters: 36%. This day last year: 19%.”   Also, it’s worth noting that he only got 8 percent of the African-American vote in 2016.  That’s a big jump.

Democrats believe the upcoming elections are going to be a landslide for them. They’re so confident that they alone have a message that will resonate with African Americans.  But do you know what actually resonates with black Americans?

Money.  Jobs.  Opportunity.

I guarantee that black Americans are not sitting around wondering if someone at the White House used a racial slur.  I promise they aren’t hoping that someone, somewhere will bring up identity politics, once again.  They want to be able to pursue the American dream, just like the rest of us.

This new poll, folks, is a potential game changer.  And the most amazing to me is that this is happening in spite of the press.

Keep it up, guys.
