African American approval ratings of President Donald Trump have nearly doubled since rapper Kanye West took to Twitter to express his support for the president, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

West was a vocal Trump supporter during the 2016 presidential race and recently returned to Twitter after a nearly yearlong hiatus.
