  "account": "President Donald Trump claimed on social media that Black and Hispanic voters are gravitating towards the Republican Party, citing Abraham Lincoln's Republican allegiance. However, recent polling data disputes this assertion, revealing a sharp decline in Trump's approval rating among these demographics. The Economist/YouGov survey shows Trump's net approval rating among Black voters plummeting to a record low of -66, a 25-point decrease since May. Similarly, Hispanic approval has dropped by 39 points, currently sitting at -39. White House spokesperson Allison Schuster defended Trump, arguing he has done more for Black Americans than any other President. However, the latest Federal Reserve data indicates that Black households are in their worst financial position in a decade, with economic instability worsening since Trump's tenure.",
  "summary": "Trump’s net approval rating has plunged to -66 among Black voters and -39 among Hispanic voters, according to latest polling.",
