Dems' black-voter problem is getting worse

The times, they are a-changing.

African Americans are becoming increasingly disillusioned with the Democratic Party, and this is no longer just something you hear in the barber shop or church pews. It’s showing up in the polls—in a significant way.

A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll revealed that while African Americans still support Democrats by clear margins, the percentages have declined significantly. When asked which party they intended to support in the upcoming congressional elections, 79 percent chose Democrats, while 18 percent indicated they would vote for a Republican candidate.

Even more interesting were the responses when African Americans were asked if they would support President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump if the 2024 presidential election were held today. About 70 percent of respondents indicated they would vote for Biden, while fully 23 percent said they would support Trump, who won about 12 percent of Black votes in the 2020 race.

In the two years President Biden has been in office, he managed to double Trump’s support with Black voters. That’s quite a feat.
