A new CBS News poll reveals a significant increase in Black voter enthusiasm following Joe Biden's exit from the presidential race. The poll, released on August 4, indicates that 74% of Black registered voters now say they will definitely vote, compared to 58% on July 18 when Biden was still in the race. This surge in voter commitment is seen as a positive outcome for the Democratic Party, which faced internal debates among Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) leaders who initially sought to keep Biden in the race.
