Young black conservatives are finding their voice and it is moving them toward the GOP

... the Democrats also may have a more long-term problem with black voters. A small but growing number of young blacks are aligning themselves with the GOP, rejecting their parents’ and grandparents’ hand-me-down political fealty to the Democratic Party.

This past weekend, hundreds of black conservatives ages 15 to 35 gathered in Washington, D.C., for the Young Black Leadership Summit. The three-day event—sponsored by the conservative campus outreach group Turning Point USA—hosted sessions in grassroots political organizing and leadership training. Featured speakers included prominent black leaders such as Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Heritage Foundation President Kay James, talk show host Larry Elder, and actress Stacey Dash.

On Thursday night, Donald Trump, Jr. spoke to the energized crowd, which greeted the president’s son with chants of “USA! USA!” He took direct aim at how the Democratic Party takes black voters for granted. “You know what the Left is resisting?” he asked. “They are resisting their stranglehold on entire communities. All of the promises the Left has made, all the of the things the Left has said for years and years, what have they done?” The room erupted with cheers. (Junior has some of his father’s authenticity and natural political skills without the alloy of self-puffery. He will be an interesting figure to watch over the next few years.)

President Trump welcomed the activists to the White House on Friday morning; he thanked the crowd for their political courage.

“It’s historic what you’re doing,” the president said. “You are not afraid to stand up for your beliefs. You refuse to be told by the same failed voices how to think or what to believe.”

“The Democrats are very nervous,” he added. “They do nothing for you, and it’s supposed to be automatic [black support for Democrats]. But not anymore.”

An NAACP poll in August showed the president with 21 percent approval among blacks; results from a Rasmussen poll that same month indicated as many as 36 percent of black voters approved of Trump.

If these polls reflect black voter sentiment it could effect the normal demographics of those doing polling for the election.   If they are relying on their previous numbers for black voters they are going to be overstating Democrat support.
