To what length did Joe Biden pander for the Black vote in Philadelphia and Baltimore Wednesday? Thiiiiiiiis much.
Veteran political analyst Larry Sabato’s Center For American Politics ran a piece a couple months ago that showed the makings of an electoral disaster ahead for Joe Biden among Black voters. In 2016, against Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump got only 6% of available Black voters. He did better with that demo against Joe Biden in 2020 – he got 7%.
This time around, several different pollsters are all telling roughly the same story. The floor is collapsing under the President with Black voters. Will he still win the majority of minorities? Yes. But here’s just a sampling of polling from March:
* Economist/YouGov – Trump is polling at 15%.
* Yahoo/YouGov – Trump polls at 18%.
* Quinnipiac has Trump at 19%.
* New York Times/Siena, and CBS/YouGov, both have Trump at 23%.
