President Donald Trump is seeing a notable surge in support among Black voters, according to a new poll.

The latest Quantus Insights poll, conducted June 23-25 among 1,000 registered voters, shows Trump's approval rating among Black voters has grown by 8 points since the beginning of the month.

According to the poll, Trump's approval rating among Black voters currently stands at 31 percent, up from 23 percent at the beginning of June. Meanwhile, his disapproval rating is down 4 points, from 68 to 64.

The poll had a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.

Why the Shift? Experts Weigh In
"If I have to speculate about why this is happening, I would say that the broad economic effects that economists have been predicting from the tariffs has not yet hit the Black community and inflation has cooled a little bit since Trump took office," Alvin Tillery, founder of Alliance for Black Equality and co-founder of 2040 Strategy Group, told Newsweek.

Since Trump took office on January 20, inflation has shown modest signs of cooling, although economists caution that the trend could be temporary. According to the latest Consumer Price Index data, overall inflation rose by just 0.1 percent in May, down from 0.2 percent in April. On an annual basis, headline inflation now sits at around 2.4 percent, slightly higher than April's 2.3 percent, but still near the Federal Reserve's target.

Meanwhile, reports have noted that Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs, released in April, have not noticeably pushed up prices.

However, polls show that Black voters are still not optimistic about the economy. The latest Gallup poll shows that only 14 percent of Black voters rate the economy as good or excellent. And the latest YouGov/Economist poll showed that only 9 percent of Black voters describe the economy as good or excellent, while only 12 percent approve of his performance on the economy.
