Trump is making gains with Black voters. So much so, his campaign internal polls are showing support as high as 38% in door-to-door surveys among select Black neighborhoods. Democrats are in panic mode, they have the same internals and they know any Black support for Trump above the 8% he got in '16 means doom for their party's chances to unseat him in '20.
So expect to hear more about "racist" charges amped up to try and blunt this Trump opening on the Black front. Dems can't afford to have Trump draw 38%, 35% not even 20% of the Black vote from their base. If he does, they'll get buried in a landslide and they know it.
Here's the cold hard truth staring Dems in their face a year away from the election:
Trump bets on more Black support in 2020. (he may need it)

Kamilah Prince, who directs African American engagement for the Republican National Committee, rattled off a list of Trump accomplishments, from near-record-low unemployment numbers for black workers and a healthy business environment for black entrepreneurs to support for historically black colleges and criminal justice reform.

"his camp is hyping criminal justice reform as its hallmark achievement. After black voters learn about that accomplishment, 2020 Campaign Manager Brad Parscale told RCP, “we notice a significant uptick in support. Specifically, the Trump team recorded support for the president in the “low double digits” while knocking on the doors of 1,200 black households. When those same households were told about criminal justice reform, things changed. According to Parscale, support jumped to nearly 38%".
