Recent surveys suggest that black voters, the most loyally Democratic voting bloc in the country, may see a reduced turnout in 2024 that could cost Joe Biden his re-election bid.
As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, a recent poll by the New York Times shows President Donald Trump and Biden in a dead heat, at 43 percent each; the close race is attributed to Trump making “gains among black, Hispanic, male and low-income voters.”
Pew Research shows a total black population of 42.7 million people, which makes up roughly 14.2 percent of the overall U.S. population; this represents a 30 percent increase from the year 2000. The average age of the black population is around 33, five years younger than the average age of the rest of the population.
An analysis by the Washington Post shows that black turnout has dropped in recent years. Whereas black turnout in the 2018 midterms was around 51.7 percent, the turnout in 2022 was down nearly ten points, at 42 percent. In the same period of time, turnout among White voters dropped by a mere 1.5 points, to 53.4 percent.
“Black voter turnout was down across the country in 2022. We saw it in the polls, the surveys, the exit polls and every way you could measure it,” said Michael McDonald, politics professor at the University of Florida.
This, of course, assumes that voting is actually how election results are calculated. We all know how that works out in the real world.
