*During every election cycle, the Democrats claim they’re losing support among Black voters. And then the voting takes place, and Blacks vote overwhelmingly democratic.
Welp, it’s that time of the year again… and according to a new poll, President Joe Biden is apparently losing favor with Black Americans ahead of the 2024 election, NewsOne reports. We reported previously that as part of its 16-week advertising campaign, the Biden administration will spend $25 million targeting Black and Hispanic voters in key battleground states.
Biden’s target states include Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The ads will focus on the president’s economic policies and will run during the NFL Kickoff and the World Series.
Black voters who use platforms such as YouTube Reserve, Hulu, and Connected TV will also be hit hard by these targeted ads.
The first minute-long ad, titled “Fought Back,” makes reference to former President Donald Trump’s “MAGA agenda” — watch below.
Meanwhile, according to a CNN poll released Thursday, if the election were beheld today, Biden would beat one Republican candidate — and it’s not Trump.
From CNN’s poll:
Despite voters’ strong opinions toward Trump, Biden fares no better against any other Republican hopefuls tested in the poll. He is about even with Ron DeSantis (47% each), Mike Pence (46% Pence, 44% Biden), Tim Scott (46% Scott, 44% Biden), Vivek Ramaswamy (46% Biden, 45% Ramaswamy), and Chris Christie (44% Christie, 42% Biden). Haley stands as the only GOP candidate to hold a lead over Biden, with 49% to Biden’s 43% in a hypothetical match between the two. That difference is driven at least in part by broader support for Haley than for other Republicans among White voters with college degrees (she holds 51% of that group, compared with 48% or less for other Republicans tested in the poll).
As of now, Republican and Republican-leaning voters are more deeply driven to vote in 2024 (71% extremely motivated) than Democratic-aligned voters (61% extremely motivated).
As NewsOne reports, The New York Times and Siena College conducted a similar poll last year and found that “Biden is underperforming among nonwhite voters.”
The poll noted that his support among Black voters is “well beneath his standing in the last election,” when “Black voters remained overwhelmingly loyal to the Democratic Party, voting 92%-8% for Biden,” according to Pew Research Center data.
