Fowler Says Polls of Black Men Favoring Trump Are ‘Illusionary’
EXCERPT:
HEMINGWAY: "Well, you know, Howard University just did a poll that showed Donald Trump’s support among black men has tripled — "
FOWLER: "That's illusionary, Molly. Every time — "
HEMINGWAY: "Take it up with Howard University."
KURTZ: "Let her finish and then I'll let you speak."
HEMINGWAY: "Take it up with Howard University. And also, we just see, in all of the national polls, people are extremely dissatisfied with the Biden Administration and how it’s handling these major problems. And you can just — you know, I agree with you, it’ll all come down to the polls, but we’re definitely seeing some changes."
FOWLER: "The only reason I say it’s illusionary is because a poll is a snapshot in time. Every time black men have had a chance to go out to vote, in 2016, they voted higher for Trump than they voted for him in 2020. So the idea that in this election they’re going to flip and entirely vote higher than they did in 2016 or 2020 I think is illusionary, based on how they voted previously and based on how they voted in Ohio."
