"Poll question: Do you think Trump has more or less black support than in 2016?"
Do you think he can go from 8% in 2016 to 12% support in the 2020 election? This article poses Trump's strategy for "the blacks" as crucial towards his re-election. But as the article suggests, the strategy is probably more about suppressing black voters rather than turning them out.
"Florida is a case study in how a small shift in the black vote can make a big difference in a key battleground. According to exit polls, black voters made up 14 percent of the electorate in Florida in 2016, and Trump won just 8 percent of them. Had Trump received 12 percent, it would have netted him more than 50,000 votes, roughly half of his total margin of victory in the state."
Dennard, who worked in the George W. Bush White House and at the Republican National Committee, said Trump is courting African Americans far more aggressively than previous Republican presidential candidates did.
