Trump: We have tremendous African American support. You’ve probably seen it in the polls.

Trump has between 5 percent to 11 percent support among Black voters, according to polls from Fox News and Quinnipiac University.

On Sept. 15, US President Donald Trump said, "We have tremendous African American support" during the ABC town hall. You've probably seen it in the polls, we're doing extremely well with African Americans."

But results from recent polling do not support his claim. He has between 5 percent to 11 percent support among Black voters, according to polls from Fox News and Quinnipiac University. The most recent polling is similar to where Trump stood in 2016, when 8 percent of African American voters supported him, according to exit polls.
