President Joe Biden has seen a dramatic fall in support among black Americans, according to a new poll.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll found that just 52% of black respondents approved of Biden's performance as president, down from 82% when he took office in 2021. The 30-point drop in support is the lowest of Biden's presidency, and comes as he prepares for reelection.Furthermore, 27% of black Americans said they would probably or definitely vote for former President Donald Trump, or lean towards him; over double his support in 2020.
Black Americans aren't the only formerly solid demographic slipping away from Democrats; Biden's support is even lower among Hispanics. Just 40% of Hispanics approve of Biden, and 43% say they would probably or definitely support Trump in a rematch, or lean towards him. The number is 11 points above the 32% of the Hispanic vote Trump received in 2020.Women, another demographic that leans Democratic, have just a 39% approval rating for Biden.
Biden's low trend continued among moderates; despite winning them by 64% in 2020, currently only 40% approve. Around half say they would vote for Trump over Biden in a rematch.The dismal results of the poll present a sobering reality to Biden, who only recently launched his reelection campaign. He is widely expected to win the nomination, with his two current opponents, Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seen as long-shots in the race.
The ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted from April 28-May 3, using a randomized sample of 1,006 United States adults. The margin of error was +/- 3.5 percentage points.
