Shock: Black people abandoning Biden

 

In an otherwise OK review of President Joe Biden, the latest Marquette University poll has revealed a stunning drop in support from black people, the key to Democrats keeping the presidency in 2024.

The new Marquette University Law School survey found a 32% cratering of black support for Biden, who now enjoys just a 56% approval rating among African Americans, among the worst ever for a modern Democratic president.

By comparison, the same survey less than a year ago found his support among black people at 88%.

The drop was so noticeable that the school mentioned it in their headline on the survey, which put Biden’s overall approval rate from American adults at 46%, among his best of recent surveys.

“No rebound in decline in black support,” read the survey headline. In its January survey, 57% of blacks approved of Biden, while 41% didn’t. Now the numbers are worse: 56% approve and 43% disapprove.

“The trend in approval by race and ethnicity since July shows a very substantial decline in approval among black adults, with smaller but consistent declines among white and Hispanic respondents,” according to the analysis.

The black vote has been key to Democrats winning federal races for decades, but it showed weakness in the 2020 race, and that has sped up since.
