CNN: Trump Doubles Support Among Black Voters Since 2020, Best GOP Performance in Generations

May 17, 2024, 03:41 PM

CNN's average of polls indicates that former President Donald Trump has more than doubled his support among Black voters since 2020. This surge in support, if maintained through the general election, would represent the best performance for a Republican among Black voters in two generations, comparable to Richard Nixon's performance in 1960. Notably, Trump has garnered significant backing from a quarter of Black voters under the age of 50. Analysts suggest this shift could disrupt identity politics.
