Signs are emerging that President Biden may risk losing support from Black voters in the upcoming November election due to his stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza.
A March poll conducted by In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda and PerryUndem revealed that 24% of Black voters consider the Israel-Hamas war “extremely important” in the context of the election.
One in six Black voters surveyed indicated they’ve contemplated not voting as a form of protest, with “protecting Palestine” cited as a key reason.
This poll followed February calls from the African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the oldest institutions for Black Americans, urging an end to financial aid to Israel.
