Kamala Harris Faces Historic Low Support Among Black Voters

Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris struggling to gain traction with Black men and women, marking a significant decline for a Democratic candidate.

  • Polling analyst Harry Enten highlights a dramatic decrease in support for Kamala Harris among Black voters compared to previous Democratic candidates.
  • Harris's support among Black men under 45 has dropped to just a 41-point margin, a stark contrast to Obama's 81-point lead in 2012.
  • Overall, Black male support for Harris stands at a 54-point margin, significantly lower than past Democratic nominees.
  • While Harris performs slightly better with Black women, her 71-point margin is still the lowest for a Democratic candidate since 1960.
  • The trend reflects a broader shift of younger Black men moving away from the Democratic Party, posing challenges for Harris's campaign.
