[....] A new poll this week from The Economist/YouGov posed the question "How much do you think Donald Trump cares about the needs and problems of black people?" A majority of respondents—57 percent—said either "not at all" (38 percent) or "not much" (19 percent). Twenty-four percent said they believed Trump cared "some," while just 19 percent felt he cared "a lot."
Among black respondents, 61 percent thought Trump cared "not at all," while 14 percent thought he cared "not much." Pretty much the only people who thought Trump cared about black people were those who voted for the former reality-TV star. Eighty-eight percent of Trump voters thought he either cared "a lot" or "some" about black people's issues and needs. Just 1 percent of Hillary Clinton voters thought he cared "a lot," while 95 percent thought he cared "not much" or "not at all." [....]
Comments
The 14% number given for blacks who think Trump cares "a lot" about black people seems high. The topic is #65 on the actual poll. Only 158 black people were polled.Prior to the election, Trump's popularity among blacks was near zero.

Trump received 8% of the black vote in 2016

Hard to believe that 14% number.
