Recent polling data suggests that President Joe Biden is losing popularity among Black voters in Pennsylvania.
Biden, aiming to replicate his 2020 success with Black voters, is facing challenges as his support among this demographic is diminishing, especially in crucial battleground states.
A Marist Poll revealed a substantial drop in Biden’s approval among Black Pennsylvanian voters, a group that played a pivotal role in his 2020 victory.
In 2020, Biden secured the majority of Black votes, with 92% backing him compared to only 7% for Trump.
However, the latest poll indicates a decrease in Black support for Biden, with 68% indicating they would vote for him in the upcoming election, while 23% are leaning towards Trump.
Interestingly, 4% of Black voters in the state support Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent candidate, while 3% back Cornel West, another independent.
While Trump enjoys 47% support in New York, Biden has the backing of 45% of voters, reflecting a closely contested race.
To sway swing and moderate voters, the Biden campaign needs to allocate resources for effective outreach efforts, especially in states like Pennsylvania where margins are tight.
In an attempt to regain support, Biden recently held a rally in Philadelphia aimed at winning over Black voters, expressing gratitude for their role in his presidency and highlighting policies that have benefitted the Black community, while criticizing Trump’s appeal to Black voters.
Addressing the audience, he emphasized the importance of Black history and the administration’s commitment to honoring and preserving it, especially evident in early Juneteenth celebrations at the White House.
