Fact Check: Does Donald Trump Have Strong Minority Support?
Here’s what I found:
– In a
poll of registered Latino voters in battleground states,
only 15 percent expressed support for Donald Trump.
– In August, although Donald Trump claimed to have the support of a majority of African-Americans, a
Quinnipiac poll found that only 8 percent of African-American respondents indicated that Donald Trump cared about their concerns, and that
only 3 percent of African-American respondents would vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. A November
Public Policy Polling survey found that Donald Trump had just a 9 percent favorability rating among African-Americans.
– The same November Public Policy Polling survey found that, among Americans categorizing themselves as neither African-American, European-American, or Latino, only one out of every three of respondents rate Donald Trump favorably.
– There has been no poll of Muslim voters in the United States to determine the level of support of Muslim voters for Donald Trump, so it appears that John has simply fabricated his claim of Muslim support for Trump out of thin air. However, a
2011 poll by the Pew Research Center found that only 11 percent of American Muslims identify as Republicans, 70 percent identify as Democrats, and the rest as independents.
In short, there is absolutely no evidence that Donald Trump has strong support from any minority group in the United States. Ethnic minorities are strongly opposed to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The Trump agenda of ethnic and religious and broad cultural hostility seems to have alienated almost everybody but heterosexual European-American Christian Republicans.
Update:
Multiple exit poll results in South Carolina have been unable to find evidence that black support for Donald Trump in primary voting was statistically distinguishable from 0% in the Republican primary. Black Americans make up 27.8% of the South Carolina population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
