Midterm elections: Black voters angry at Donald Trump expected to turn out in key House races, survey found
WASHINGTON – Donald Trump may not be up for re-election this fall, but a new survey shows anger at the president and a feeling of being disrespected by him is expected to drive black voters to the polls in dozens of competitive U.S. House races in November.
"That will be a heavy determinant of turnout for African-American voters," said Henry Fernandez, co-founder of the African American Research Collaborative, which along with Latino Decisions conducted the new poll. “Even though Trump is not on the ballot, electing people who will try to stop policies that African-American voters see as taking us backwards would be an important reason to vote."
The survey, released late Tuesday, was conducted for the national NAACP, one of the nation's largest civil rights organizations. USA TODAY was given a copy of the survey in advance.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson said the group aims to increase black voter participation in the midterms and will use the findings to help craft its message and boost its get-out-the-vote campaign, particularly in competitive districts.
“This poll reveals the high level of anxiety … and the enthusiasm to do something about it," Johnson said. “The level of concern within the African-American community as a result of the current political landscape is something that is notable, and the poll simply validates that fact."

Anyone who looks at this chart and claims that it looks good for Trump is a moron.
Hmmmm...so 21% of black voters approve of Don. That is HUUUUuuge! I don't know what Johnson is smoking, but this looks real bad for the Democratic Party of the Jackass.
