Trump garnering unprecedented support from minorities 

&NewLine;<p>Considering the number of civil and criminal cases President Trump faces in courts in multiple states – and the constant pounding he is getting from Democrats and leftwing media – his general polling numbers are phenomenal&period;&nbsp&semi; He is in a statistical tie with President Biden in most polls – leading in some&period;&nbsp&semi; He has a significant advantage over Biden in virtually all the major issues – including in Biden’s most touted issue – Bidenomics&period;&nbsp&semi; Biden’s only lead is with abortion&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once used the term &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;a riddle&comma; wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma” to describe the inexplicable&period;  That could apply to Trump’s polling numbers – at least from the standpoint of his critics&period;  But nowhere is Churchill’s description more applicable than in terms of Trump’s support among minorities&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Trump and his followers have been &lpar;wrongfully&rpar; described as racists and white supremacists who only serve the interests of rich white people&period;&nbsp&semi; Conversely&comma; Democrats have always claimed the loyalty of Blacks and Hispanics – and more recently&comma; Asians&period; And until the Hamas War&comma; Muslims&period;&nbsp&semi; That has been the historic reality&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>But times&comma; they are a changin’&period;&nbsp&semi; And it has Democrat politicians and strategists bewildered and worried&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In a recent compilation of five leading polls&comma; Trump has been averaging 20 percent with Black voters and 42 percent with Hispanics&period;  That is virtually the exact percentage of Black and Hispanic votes that President Reagan got in 1984 when he carried 49 of the 50 states in a landslide election&period;   Biden leads Trump with Black voters by a 47-point margin – but that is down 15-points from a year ago&period;  Biden is currently hemorrhaging among Black voters – especially Black men&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>With Biden having only a 3-point lead over Trump with Hispanic voters – according to an Emerson poll &&num;8212&semi; it is possible that the former President could win a majority&period;&nbsp&semi; President George W&period; Bush won 50 percent of the Hispanic vote in six swing states in his winning 2004 election – and 41 percent nationally&period;&nbsp&semi; That is the best performance by a GOP candidate in modern times – and Trump is tracking at the same numbers&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>A recent <em>New York Times<&sol;em> poll in six critical swing states showed Trump with an astounding 30 percent support among Black voters and 50 percent among Hispanics&period;&nbsp&semi; If those figures are accurate and hold up until Election Day&comma; it is game over&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In the 2020 presidential election&comma; Trump won 29 percent of the Asian vote&period;&nbsp&semi; According to recent polls&comma; he is now supported by 40 percent of Asian voters&period;&nbsp&semi; In politics&comma; shifts of this magnitude are seismic&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>In 2016&comma; Trump received 13 percent of Muslim votes&period;&nbsp&semi; In 2020&comma; he increased that to 35 percent according to exit polls&period;&nbsp&semi; He did that despite the Democrats calling his restriction on immigration of Muslim-majority nations &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Islamophobic&period;”&nbsp&semi; While there has not been a lot of polling&comma; news reports suggest that Muslims are abandoning Biden in great numbers for his embrace – literal and figurative – of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&period;&nbsp&semi; In addition to crossing over to Trump&comma; many Muslims have expressed their intention to skip voting for President&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>There are many reasons why Trump and Republicans are making gains among minorities&period;&nbsp&semi; They are complex and multitudinous&period;&nbsp&semi; Many urban Blacks are re-evaluating their ties to the Democratic Party in view of their generations of segregation and oppression in Democrat run cities&period;&nbsp&semi; The largely Catholic and family-oriented Hispanics are pro-life and reject the woke gender fluidity of the Democrats&period;&nbsp&semi; Asians are seeing anti-Asian racism in such Democrat programs as Affirmative Action&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Whatever the reasons&comma; there is a clear trend of minorities moving to the GOP&period;&nbsp&semi; The trend has momentum – meaning the best is yet to come for Trump and the Republican Party&period;&nbsp&semi; If the Black&comma; Hispanic&comma; Asian and Muslim polling numbers remain this high for Trump&comma; he is very likely going to win the 2024 election&period;&nbsp&semi; Biden’s challenge is not to hold on to the minority vote&comma; but to regain it&period;&nbsp&semi; That is a much harder task&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
