EXCLUSIVE: Biden base of Blacks, Hispanics abandoning president, secretsbedard writes
In a series of new Zogby polls shared with Secrets on Wednesday, support from the trio of groups that make up the traditional Democratic base is far below what’s needed to win big in the fall elections or in 2024. In the case of blacks and Hispanics, Biden’s approval numbers are down double digits.
“It's hard to see where this is a good scenario for Biden,” said Zogby. “His support is lagging among a big part of his base. Does this mean he will not win reelection or he will bow out? It's hard to saym but these are not great numbers among one of the strongest groups that make up his base,” he added.
“In May 2022, our poll had the president at 75% approval/22% disapproval among African American likely voters. Historically, Biden's numbers have been even higher with African Americans,” said Zogby of the surprising crash of support for Biden among blacks. His support among Asians is split between 46% approval to 46% disapproval in the survey. “In line with Hispanic and African Americans voters, Asians also felt the country was off on the wrong track , and only a third thought it was headed in the right direction. Sentiment was even harsher when it came to the direction of the U.S. economy — 58% thought it was off on the wrong track, and 29% of surveyed Asian American voters thought the U.S. economy was headed in the right direction,” said Zogby.
