Former President Donald Trump seems on track to earning more black votes than any two past GOP presidents combined, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll.
The poll finds that Trump is pulling in 30 percent of black men and 11 percent of black women ahead of the 2024 election.
These are even bigger numbers than he earned in 2020, itself the highest rate of blacks to ever vote for a GOP candidate for president.
This is horrible news for Joe Biden who can’t afford to lose any black votes, a bloc of voters who are usually considered Democrat Party mainstays.
In even worse news for Biden, the poll found that a whopping 42 percent of black women say that they are unsure of who they will vote for.
The poll sampled 218 registered voters from March 17-24 with a 5.2 margin of error.
This is all bad news for Biden. While the numbers may not all jump into Trump’s category, it is also highly possible that the black vote may end up being subdued for 2024 as black voters are not at all excited about voting for Joe Biden. This may cause many to not bother voting at all.
Either way, whether many jump parties and vote for Trump or they stay home and not vote at all, it is bad news for Biden and the Democrats.
In fact, those that stay at home and blow off Election Day are even worse news for Biden because those are voters who will not be on hand to vote down ballot, too.
