Trump strategy to deter Black Americans from voting in 2016
Millions of Americans in key battleground states were separated into eight categories, so they could be targeted with tailored ads online. One of the categories was named ‘Deterrence’, which was later described publicly by Trump’s chief data scientist as containing people the campaign “hope don’t show up to vote”.
Analysis by Channel 4 News shows Black Americans - historically a community targeted with voter suppression tactics - were disproportionately marked ‘Deterrence’ by the 2016 campaign. In total, 3.5 million Black Americans were marked ‘Deterrence’. Overall, people of colour labelled as Black, Hispanic, Asian and ‘Other’ groups made up 54% of the ‘Deterrence’ category.
Meanwhile, categories of voters the campaign wished to attract were overwhelmingly white. The investigation reveals the Trump campaign targeted Black Americans with negative ads on Facebook and social media - despite the campaign's denials. https://www.channel4.com/news/reveale...
Calls for new referendum but can it happen?
There have been more threats to defeat the deal and more claims a No Deal Brexit can be stopped. But can it? And does any of this make a new referendum more likely?
The biggest survey since the referendum this week carried out for Channel 4 by Survation suggested the UK is now against Brexit and is 54-46 in favour of remaining in the EU.
The Big Brexit Debate: What does the UK really think?
Channel 4 commissioned the largest independent survey of attitudes across the whole of the UK conducted since the referendum, asking 20,000 people drawn from every UK constituency for their views, and put the results to politicians and those who stand to gain, or lose, most from the outcome; all before a live studio audience.
