President Trump said in his speech to the National Rifle Association on Friday that his support among black Americans has increased since hip-hop artist Kanye West expressed his support for him. “Kanye West must have some power because you probably saw I doubled my African American poll numbers,” Trump said. And we won, but now the numbers are much higher than they ever were before with African Americans, and we're happy.”Trump's getting quite a bit mixed up here. The Pew Research Center poll released Thursday reported that only 13 percent of African Americans approve of Trump. Gallup has Trump's approval rating at 13 percent with black Americans this week, up from 11 percent in February.
