Summary
Support for Donald Trump among Black voters has dipped to 9% in recent NBC polling, down from 12% in 2020, as Election Day nears. Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, currently leads with 87% of Black voter support.
In response to potential support shifts, Harris has introduced initiatives aimed at Black men, addressing business, mentorship, and health equity.
Despite minor gains with Black voters in past elections, Trump’s campaign remains focused on economic outcomes, with recent polls suggesting his support among Black voters may be lower than previously estimated.
Down to 9% from 12% 🙄
There was never any real support among Black people.
I cannot believe that it is non-zero.
Individual persons that happen to be Black, sure.
But to characterize this as “Black voters” paints a picture that there’s some kind of large constituency of Black Trump supporters even though that’s clearly not the case. It’s a tiny minority of a minority population.
How else do you end up with people like Clarence Thomas on the supreme court? Can’t be 0. They wanna be him.
And yet he still managed to lose 25% of what he had.
Harris has done a good job appealing to fiscal conservatives, she might have peeled some business owners away.
