On Monday, CNN revealed that its polling showed a significant drop in support for Democrats among black voters, which could cost Democrats the U.S. Senate. CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten opined that blacks were the core part of the Democratic Party, but slippage there may spell doom for some Democratic senatorial candidates.
“Look, they’re still getting 74 percent support in the pre-election polling right now but compare that to the final polling for 2020 President and 2018 Congress,” he stated. “In 2020 it was 84 percent, 85 percent in 2018.” Meanwhile, black support for Republicans has risen from 9% in 2018 and 2020 to 12% now.
Among black adults, Joe Biden’s approval rating was soaring at 87% between January and June 2021, but now it has plunged to 64%.
