How we did this
Terminology
Black voters will play a key role in determining the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. And while Black voters remain overwhelmingly Democratic and support Joe Biden over Donald Trump by a wide margin, Biden’s advantage among this group is not as wide as it was four years ago.
Bar charts showing that  Most Black voters are aligned with the Democratic Party and would vote for Bien if the 2024 presidential election were held today
Today, American voters are about evenly split between the two major political coalitions, both in their partisan identification and in their presidential vote preference.
But Black voters remain largely aligned with the Democratic Party (83% identify with or lean to the Democrats), and 77% of Black registered voters say they would prefer to vote for Biden over Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
At the same time, Black voters are very critical of Trump. Most say he was a poor or terrible president (72%). And many Black adults think he broke the law in his alleged efforts to change the outcome of the 2020 election (65%).
Despite their support for Biden and criticism of Trump, about half of Black voters (49%) say they would replace both Biden and Trump with different candidates if they had the ability to decide. This is similar to the share of all voters who say this.

Black voters consistently align with the Democratic Party​

Bar charts showing that Black voters have remained overwhelmingly affiliated with the Democratic Party since 1994
Currently, 83% of Black registered voters identify as or lean Democratic, while 12% are Republican or lean Republican. This share is slightly smaller than the 88% who associated with the Democratic Party in 2020. Still, the vast majority of Black voters have consistently identified with or leaned toward the Democratic Party over the last 30 years.
Similar shares of Black men (81%) and Black women (84%) are affiliated with or lean toward the Democratic Party. Roughly eight-in-ten or more Black men and women have consistently identified with or leaned toward the Democratic Party since 1994.
Although the majority of Black voters across education levels are Democrats, there has been a slight decrease in affiliation with the Democratic Party among those with college degrees in recent years. While 93% of Black voters with college degrees identified with or leaned toward the Democratic Party in 2012, that number had decreased to 85% in 2020 and then 79% in 2023.
Overall, older voters have tended to be more Republican than younger voters in recent decades, but this is not true for Black voters. While 7% of Black voters 50 and older currently identify as or lean Republican, 17% of Black voters under 50 are aligned with the Republican Party. This is not new, as younger Black voters have tended to be more Republican than older Black voters over the last 25 years.

Black voters prefer Biden in 2024 election, but some would replace both candidates​

A bar chart showing that Biden leads Trump by a wide margin among Black voters
When it comes to the significance of the 2024 presidential election’s outcome, 55% of Black voters say it really matters who wins. Fewer say it does not matter (17%) or are somewhere in between (28%) in their views of the upcoming election’s importance.

Black voters’ preferences​

As of April 2024, the majority of Black voters say they would vote for or lean toward Joe Biden (77%). Fewer say they would vote for or lean toward Donald Trump (18%).
Among all registered voters, 49% favor Trump while 48% support Biden.
The wide margin between Black voters’ preference for Democratic candidates over Republican candidates is nothing new. In 2016, there was an 85 percentage point difference in the share of Black voters who voted for Hilary Clinton (91%) over Trump (6%). And in 2020, Biden (92%) had a wide advantage over Trump (8%) among Black voters.
The current margin of support for Biden (59 points – 77% to 18%) is lower than it was in 2020 or for Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to Pew Research Center validated voter studies.
Younger Black voters are more likely than older Black voters to say they would vote for Trump. While about two-thirds of Black voters under 50 favor Biden (68%), 29% support Trump. Black voters 50 and older favor Biden by a wider margin (84% vs. 9%).
However, this pattern is reversed among all registered voters: Older voters are slightly more likely than younger voters to prefer Trump (51% vs. 46%), while younger voters prefer Biden (52% vs. 46%).

Many Black voters are dissatisfied with the Biden-Trump matchup​

A bar chart showing that Nearly half of Black voters would replace both 2024 presidential candidates if they could
About half of Black voters (49%) say they would replace both Trump and Biden with different candidates if they had the ability to do so. An identical share of all registered voters say this.
Fewer Black voters say they would keep Biden and replace Trump with a different Republican (36%). Even fewer say they would keep Trump and replace Biden with a different Democrat (8%). And only 6% say they would keep both candidates.
Like the rest of U.S. voters, Black voters differ on this question by age and education. Younger Black voters (57%) are more likely than older voters (37%) to say both candidates should be replaced. And a larger share of older than younger Black voters say they would keep Biden and replace Trump (42% vs. 22%).
Nearly 60% of Black voters with a college degree say they would replace both candidates if they had the ability, while 45% of those without a degree say the same.

Black voters’ views on Biden and Trump as presidents​

A majority of Black Americans (55%) approve of the way Joe Biden is handling his job as president.
This is a shift from a January 2024 Pew Research Center survey, when Black adults were evenly split in their ratings of Biden’s job performance (49% disapproved, 48% approved).
Biden’s ratings among Black Americans were far more positive earlier in his term. For instance, in a March 2021 Center survey, 87% approved of his job performance.
Despite shifts among Black Americans in their ratings of Biden, they are still more likely than other racial and ethnic groups and the U.S. public overall (35%) to approve of Biden’s job performance.

Black voters are more confident in Biden than Trump​

A bar chart showing that Black voters evaluate Trump’s presidency negatively and are not confident he acts ethically in office
In further assessments of his presidency, 46% of Black voters say Biden is a great or good president. Far fewer say Trump was great or good during his time in office (12%). And a large majority of Black voters say Trump was a poor or terrible president (72%). Only 19% say the same about Biden.
Black voters are also much more confident that Biden has the qualities to effectively serve another term as president. A majority of Black voters (56%) are extremely or very confident that Biden respects the country’s democratic values, and half are confident that he acts ethically as president. No more than 8% of Black voters say Trump has either of these qualities.
Although most Black voters don’t express much confidence about the mental and physical fitness of either Trump or Biden, they are more confident in Biden. About a third of Black voters (34%) say Biden has the mental fitness needed to serve another term as president, and 26% say the same about his physical fitness. Only about one-in-ten say this about Trump.
Black voters are more likely than other racial and ethnic groups and the general public overall to say Biden has the mental and physical fitness to serve another term.

Trump’s election-related criminal charges​

Beyond their critical views about Trump as president, the majority of Black Americans (65%) also believe he broke the law in an effort to change the outcome of the 2020 election. They are more likely than other racial and ethnic groups – and the U.S. public overall (45%) – to hold this view.

Black Americans’ policy priorities​

A bar chart showing that Improvements to education and the economy top the list of policy priorities among Black Americans
For Americans overall, the economy (73%) sits at the top of the list of policy priorities for the president and Congress in 2024.
However, for Black Americans, improving the education system (79%) and ensuring Social Security is financially sound (74%) are just as important as strengthening the economy (76%).
Clear majorities of Black Americans also say reducing health care costs (72%), dealing with the problems of poor people (70%), reducing crime (68%) and addressing issues around race (65%) should be top priorities.

Foreign policy priorities​

When it comes to international issues, most Black Americans (82%) say it is more important for President Biden to focus on domestic policy than on foreign policy (13%). Most adults in the U.S. share this view, with 83% saying domestic policy is more important.
However, when it comes to long-range foreign policy goals, Black adults are more likely than the general public to say that preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction (73% vs. 63%), reducing the spread of infectious diseases (70% vs. 52%) and dealing with global climate change (52% vs. 44%) should be top priorities.
CORRECTION (May 20, 2024): Due to an editorial error, a previous version of the report overstated the share of Black adults who say Trump broke the law in seeking to change the outcome of the 2020 election. It was 65%.

Thank you. Motherfuckers think Black folks are voting for Trump when the exit polls say the exact opposite.

Opposing political views are not a rule violation. I find it interesting that everything is painted as propaganda by that poster but no comment as to whether something is true or false.
There’s a difference between opposing views and a misinformation push by white monkies to keep Blacks from voting by pushing lies and misinformation. This is a Black forum yet this right wing pro white supremacy anti vote push is allowed here. Why

A country at a crossroads Road to presidential election paved with protests, voter suppression and talk of civil war​

The United States is fraught with social and political turmoil, as talks of secession and civil war heighten in a climate where voting rights are under attack, protests continue over the genocide against Palestinian people and President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are embroiled in a tight race toward the 2024 presidential election.

Dissatisfaction in a tight race

Trump and Biden are nearly neck and neck in the race for the next four years of presidency. Trump has 46 percent support, and Biden has 44 percent, according to an ABC News/Ipsos poll that surveyed 2,200 adults.

Like past elections, there is significant talk about the Black vote.

In his book, “The Fall of America,” the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam, spoke about the national election and the Black vote.

President Joe Biden says he won’t participate in the campaign debates sponsored by a nonpartisan commission, instead challenging Republican Donald Trump to a pair of debates. Biden said Wednesday that Trump lost two debates to him in 2020 and since then, he hasn’t shown up for a debate. Biden proposes debating Trump twice. (AP Photo)
“The Black vote could be cast or not cast. The White citizens of the government are going to win and continue to rule anyway. There is much talk of this man and that man (who shall the vote of the people put in the White House for the next four years?)” he wrote.

“How much good have the two parties (Republican and Democrat) done for us for the last century in the way of freedom, justice, and equality? Regardless of what party wins, the die is always set against us (the Black people in America),” the Honorable Elijah Muhammad added.

While a large portion of Black people still support President Biden, the level of support has decreased from where it was in 2020. There is also a generational divide between younger Black voters and older Black voters, with younger Black voters voting for Biden 15-30 percent less than older Black voters.

Biden is not doing well with young voters in general. Political analysts trace young people’s dissatisfaction to a myriad of issues, with some of the top issues being jobs and inflation.

The president’s support of the genocide unfolding in Gaza is not helping his case. Several poll results indicate that younger Americans between the ages of 18-34 are more critical of Israel and of Biden’s support of Israel.

The anger of young people has manifested through campus protests at colleges and universities across the country. Students are demanding their institutions stop supporting Israel and stop doing business with and accepting money from companies aligned with Israel.

“I think this is the first time in history we’ve seen a concerted resistance on behalf of the Palestinian people. I think time is running out for there not to be an independent Palestinian state and justice for the Palestinian people. This is a generational shift,” Rev. Mark Thompson, member of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N’COBRA) and host of the “Make it Plain” podcast, said to The Final Call.

A Gallup poll from early in the year speaks to record-low dissatisfaction with the way democracy is working in the U.S. Only 28 percent of U.S. adults are satisfied.

“Americans are preparing to elect the next president at a time when they are less happy about the state of U.S. democracy than at any point in at least 40 years. The 2024 election is expected to match a historically unpopular incumbent president with a former president whom voters previously rejected for a second term,” Gallup analysis says.

Amid the tight presidential race and overall dissatisfaction, Republicans continue to engage in voter suppression tactics. The Voting Rights Act itself has been whittled away over the years. Efforts to attack voting rights have been occurring all over the country. Some Black voters operate in states that do not have fair legislative districts.

In at least seven states, Black and other non-White voters have been deprived of the right to fight unfair districts and discriminatory voting laws, according to analysis by Democracy Docket, a platform covering voting rights and elections.

“There’s definitely a White backlash that’s going on, and it’s been going on for a long time,” said Dr. Sekou Franklin, a professor of political science at Middle Tennessee State University.

SD2023_store_v1.jpg

He mentioned voter suppression and redistricting as examples of White backlash due to the belief that Whites are being replaced.

“As a response to that, you’re seeing attacks on, again, voters, voter suppression. You’re seeing that renewed interest, too, on zero-tolerance criminal justice policies. And, of course, the redistricting issues in places like Indiana, and also the deannexation,” he said. “And we’re going to continue to see all of that as part of a broader White backlash and I think a broader intent to whiten or to re-whiten parts of society.”

Secession and civil war

The nationwide division in the country has led to talks of secession and civil war.

A recent survey by Rasmussen Reports revealed that 41 percent of voters they polled believe that the country is likely to experience a second civil war within the next five years. The poll surveyed 1,105 voters in April.

Nearly 25 percent of Americans said they would support their state seceding, according to a February poll by YouGov. The company surveyed over 35,000 U.S. adults on the topic of secession. The poll found that Alaska, Texas and California are among the top states whose residents are most likely to support secession.

Some states are already paving the way. In late April, the Louisiana Supreme Court approved plans for White residents in a Baton Rouge community to break off and form their own city.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has been proposing secession for the last few years. In September 2023, she posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) that “states should consider seceding from the union.” In 2021, she spoke of a “national divorce” that she referenced again in a February 2023 post on X:

MV5BZDg2OTljN2YtY2Q4Zi00YTFiLThmNTAtMjA4NjE3YzE4Y2E2XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMTUzMTg2ODkz._V1_-717x1024.jpg

“We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s [sic] traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”

Dr. Franklin traced secession plans back to voting rights. He noted that in the 1960s and 70s after the passage of the Voting Rights Act, local jurisdictions separated themselves from majority-Black areas through deannexation, thus forming new voting constituencies. The same thing could be happening again due to the growing number of Blacks, Latinos and Hispanics and Asians in the U.S.

“A third of the electorate are non-Whites: Black, Latinos, Asians,” Dr. Franklin said. “Across the country, you see a diverse population emerging, whether it be accelerated growth or whether it be slow growth.”

This growth is causing hysteria and backlash, as rightwing media talk of White voters being replaced by non-Whites, Dr. Franklin added.

Rev. Thompson described what’s happening as a “more sophisticated form of White flight.”

“These are the last gasps of White supremacy around the world, and so there are going to be more desperate things going on,” he said. “But their desperation just shows that we’re winning, even without trying as hard as we could be, even without being as organized as we should be. Imagine if we were as organized and mobilized and consistently unified and disciplined as we should be,” he added.

Trump has been leading the charge for political violence. In January, he warned that there would be “bedlam in the country,” or uproar, chaos and confusion, if the criminal charges against him cause him to lose the election. Following suit, Kari Lake, a Republican senate candidate in Arizona, advised supporters to “maybe strap on a Glock” to prepare for the intense election.

And in reference to protests over Palestinian genocide, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called on Americans to “take matters into [their] own hands” by forcibly removing protesters, if traffic is blocked.

Talk of civil war increased after the release of the movie, “Civil War,” in mid-April. The movie insinuates that the real issue in the U.S. is militia groups composed of armed citizens.

Though the U.S. population is a little over 330 million, U.S. civilians possess an estimated number of 393 million firearms, according to a 2018 Small Arms Survey. U.S. law enforcement and military account for only 5.5 million firearms in the country. In total, almost 40 percent of the world’s firearms are in the hands of the U.S.

“If the United States avoids an actual civil war, it is not difficult to imagine a variety of dark scenarios spanning a range of politically violent potentialities that would destabilize the country, further entrench existing divisions and severely challenge our government’s ability to protect its citizens,” opines political analysts Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware in a March CNN article titled, “Is the U.S. on the brink of another civil war?”

Dr. Franklin doesn’t believe a shooting war will happen, but he said a political civil war is already happening in the U.S. in the form of a “soft war,” which he described as “a war that can be fought out politically, a war that can be fought out in the courts, … a war fought out where they can reduce the vote through voter suppression tactics.”

“We’re seeing the consequences right now,” he said. Accelerated consequences include federal courts being completely taken over by judges who reinforce the White backlash, which would have wide-ranging impacts on environmental regulations, voting rights, labor laws and more.

Rev. Thompson voiced that a bloodless civil war is just the start.

“I think it’s more than rumors. Donald Trump has promised it. And in many ways, it’s already begun. It may be a bloodless civil war for the moment, but I think he’d like to see and others would like to see an actual civil war,” he said.

“In this type of situation, the hour will come when some of us will have to decide what side we’re on. We won’t be able to be neutral, and we’ll have to decide whether we are on the side of God or we’re on the side of those who are against God. We can’t afford to be silent,” he added.

Divine warnings

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, has continuously warned America of what was coming to her doorstep. He warned about the unraveling of America in February 2020 in a message titled, “The Unraveling of a Great Nation.”

“You, my poor, pitiful brothers and sisters, you are opting to be a part of that that is unraveling right in front of your eyes. You see the country cascading downward. You see the moral fiber of America getting into the gutter,” he said.

He described former president Donald Trump as “a president who wants to be king.”

Just one year ago, Minister Farrakhan warned that “The War of Armageddon Has Begun.” He also issued prophetic warnings of civil strife 30 years ago, in 1994.

“The United States of America is moving closer and closer to great civil strife, unrest and bloodshed. Although the American people are supposed to be citizens of one nation, the division between labor and management is growing more intense. The division between the haves and have nots is getting wider and wider, and that breach is being filled with hatred.

The division between politics, right and left, so-called Christians, right and left, liberals, conservatives and all of the many causes that people are giving themselves to, whether social, religious or political, are now beginning to show signs of bloodshed,” Minister Farrakhan said in a Final Call article titled, “Is America headed for civil war?” originally published on August 31, 1994.

“People do not seem to be willing to argue their point and let truth prevail, but the frustration of arguments is leading to resolution of conflict by means of the gun. So, the weapons of war are being sold legally and illegally throughout the United States in unprecedented numbers. The proliferation of weapons of the assault kind are mounting in the Black and White communities,” he continued.

“Civil unrest in the future will not be able to be handled by the police. The police will be supported by the National Guard, and the National Guard will be supported by federal troops.

When this day arrives, and it will, the breakdown of law and order will be so great in America that it will be as the prophets foretold, ‘a time of trouble such as never was, since there was a nation even to that same time,’” the Minister added.

“Blood, as John the Revelator saw, ‘will be running in the streets even up to the horse’s bridle.’ This is a terrible prophecy, and it does not appear that it will be avoided or averted.”

Opposing political views are not a rule violation. I find it interesting that everything is painted as propaganda by that poster but no comment as to whether something is true or false.
I don’t need to perform autopsy of that poster to know that he is a misinformationist cracker who means us harm

I didn't watch any of the videos. If something is false then report the info with the content and time stamp and it will be reviewed.

Just because I wouldn't vote for Biden don't mean I support Trump. How idiotic are we as a country? Vote for someone just because they represent a certain party?
