Support for Vice President Kamala Harris among likely Black voters has grown since President Biden exited the race, while former President Donald Trump has also seen a rise in support from this key voting group, according to a recent survey.
A poll released by The New York Times and Siena College on Saturday revealed that nearly 80 percent of likely Black voters would choose Harris over Trump if the presidential election were held today. Specifically, Harris secured 78 percent support, an increase from Biden’s 74 percent prior to his withdrawal. In comparison, Biden had garnered backing from 90 percent of Black voters during the 2020 election.
