The drop-off in black voters for Kamala Harris, if it holds, is large enough to cruel her chances of winning key battleground states.
Vice President Kamala Harris has improved her party’s standing among black voters since President Joe Biden left the election race, but she still significantly trails Biden’s 2020 share of that vital Democratic constituency, according to aNearly eight in 10 black voters nationwide said they would vote for Harris, the poll found – a marked increase from the 74 per cent of black voters who said they would support Biden before he dropped out of the presidential race in July.
Still, despite Trump’s continuing efforts to convince African-American voters that they were better off during his presidency, more black voters now, than in February, say the policies of the Biden-Harris administration have helped them. Substantially fewer now say that Trump’s policies helped them.
The vice president was scheduled to attend a town-hall-style event in Detroit on Tuesday hosted by the morning radio program, one of the show’s hosts, Charlamagne Tha God, said on Friday. The nationally syndicated show is popular with black Millennials. But on specific issues, black voters were divided. The poll found that 56 per cent said the United States should pay less attention to problems overseas and concentrate on problems at home, a position more reflective of Trump’s views than Harris’. About 40 per cent of black voters favour Trump’s border wall, and 41 per cent support deporting illegal immigrants, something Trump has said he would do en masse.
