Biden losing support among Black voters in swing states: Survey
President Biden’s support amount Black voters in seven swing states has dipped when compared to the last election cycle, a recent survey found.
The Wall Street Journal compared the results of its poll released last week to the AP VoteCast poll in 2020 that surveyed a large part of the electorate. The Journal’s survey of swing states found that while 57 percent of Black men planned to support Biden, another 30 percent said they would likely be voting for former President Trump.
The outlet noted that while there was no swing state polling it conducted in 2020, the AP VoteCast poll found 87 percent of Black men nationwide backed Biden in 2020 and 12 percent of Black men nationwide supported Trump in the last election.
The Journal’s poll also found that 77 percent of Black women were planning to vote for Biden in 2024, while 11 percent said they would vote for Trump. In comparison, the newspaper noted that 93 percent of Black women nationwide backed Biden in 2020 and 6 percent backed Trump, according to The Associated Press's poll.
The Wall Street Journal poll was conducted among 218-354 registered voter March 17-24 with margins of error ranging from plus or minus 5.2 to 6.6 percentage points.
Biden’s campaign has stepped up its efforts to reach voters of color in recent weeks. Black voters had overwhelmingly supported Biden in 2020 with 92 percent casting ballots for him, according to an analysis from Pew Research Center.
His campaign launched ads speaking directly to Black voters in battleground states last month to argue that another Trump term would be a “disaster” for the demographic. This comes after recent polls showed Biden losing support from Black voters, including a New York Times/Siena College poll that found 22 percent of Black voters in six battleground states saying they would vote for Trump.
