Donald Trump shared his approval rating among Black Americans from a Fox News poll …
New Fox Poll shows a “40% Approval Rating by African Americans for President Trump, a record for Republicans.” Thank you, a great honor!

Truth be told, we can’t find this particular poll but we did find a Rasmussen poll that has him at 36% which is close but yeah. And perhaps that’s the angle Rep. Eric Swalwell should have taken with this dig at the president but oh no … he went the ‘check my math’ route instead.
Folks, NEVER go full Common Core, especially on Twitter.
So 60% are against you? Twitter, check my math. https://t.co/8bSQtrvzob

Dude.
He tried so hard too.
He made this poll up

We tried to tell him but nope.
The congressman knows it's a fake poll…he is pointing out the irony. Way too many of you are not catching on to the subtleties. Snap out of it! Snap out of it!

Eric, if people have to explain your joke or dig for you … it didn’t work.
And we can’t help but notice a bunch of smug, white people acting like they own the Black vote on this thread:
Let's see. So Trump got Candace Owens and nine of her friends together. Four of them said they like him. That about it?

A very thorough survey carried out on 10 people of color at a trump rally ???

With Omarosa and Kanye turned against him, it should be down to 0.001%.

This is a non existent poll

It's just a typo, it was supposed to say 4%.

The comments here are gold. One of his supporters assured me this poll is real. I said okay, where is it? “Being released.” If it’s not out yet how does he know what it says? ?

Yeah, the comments from a bunch of white people talking smack about Black Republicans … gold.
That poll was taken by FOX and involved the 10 African Americans who work for FOX, if you get my drift, a lot of people now say there are only 4 African Americans working at FOX!

Classy.
No wonder they follow Eric.
