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.

    How did he ever have support from them in the first place? Did these black voters not make the connection between Trump and his supporters being Nazis and those being the same people who would be/still are in the KKK?

        Or even the case of the Central Park 5, dude has shown exactly what he thinks of African Americans, and it’s not good.

      In Australia I often think of conservatives as “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”.

      Our conservative party obviously favours wealthy people. My parents who are poor will always vote conservative because they “identify as” wealthy.

      Is it maybe similar, like some kind of class war?

      Lots of people vote against their own interest. Do you think black people incapable of doing so?

      I like fruit, but not like that. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just don’t swing this way, you know?

        How else do you end up with people like Clarence Thomas on the supreme court? Can’t be 0. They wanna be him.

        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.

        Harris has done a good job appealing to fiscal conservatives, she might have peeled some business owners away.

      Did we get his usual Trump endorsement this time around or did he stay silent on this one? Maybe he was too busy talking shit about Jewish real estate agents selling the mansion he trashed in LA.

      Speaking of Kanye, I haven’t seen him in the news for a while. He’s been quiet. Too quiet.

        Maybe dumbass finally got back on his meds or media stopped caring (I know I did). The longer I don’t hear celebrity news the better.
