There are always a few contrarians in any demographic segment, but keep in mind, support for Democrats among black men has always been in the high 80 to low 90 percent range.

No other demo segment, except of course black women, gets even close to that so we can toss that false narrative in trash bin.

Unlike Ice Cube, it appears Trafalgar Group's check cleared the bank. I don't know squat about polling methodology, but one might suspect the Trafalgar Group selected their polling groups very careful, like, say, targeting uber conservative African American churches (a half dozen pirated church directories, and they're good to go).

services to caravan to polling places to vote for Democrats.

Don't believe that silly hype. It's misinformation. Ninety some percent of black voters will vote Democratic, as always. We don't vote for white supremacists, which is what trump is.

Black men (Black women were never on his side) when he claimed to be the least racist person and when he dodged the driving while Black question. Trump doesn’t care about people so he can’t put himself in anyone else’s shoes

That demographic will rise in total percentage of the vote, meaning net votes to the Democrat won't change as much as the margin might suggest
