Among African Americans and Hispanics, reactions to Trump depend more on gender than age or education. In every age group, and at every level of education, about twice as many African American men as women gave Trump positive marks. In all, 23 percent of black men approved of Trumps performance versus 11 percent of black women. The outlier here isnt [black] men its [black] women, where you have near-universal disapproval of Trump, said Cornell Belcher, a Democratic pollster who studies African American voters. Still, black men are one of the few groups for which Trumps 2017 average approval rating significantly exceeds his 2016 vote share.

Among Hispanics, men were also much more likely than women to express positive views about Trump. Among Hispanic men older than 50, Trumps approval strikinglyexceeded 40 percent. But at least three-fifths of Hispanic women in every age group (including both those with and without a college degree) disapproved. Trumps 2017 approval rating slightly exceeded his 2016 vote share among Hispanic men, and was slightly below it among Hispanic women.

Trump's approval is down across most groups that voted for him in the election, but twice as many black men say they approve of him now than they did on election day.

Any theories for why this would be?
