Consistent Signs of Erosion in Black and Hispanic Support for Biden
NYT Via Yahooooo! ^ | Tue, September 5, 2023 at 7:19 AM CDT | Nate Cohn

President Joe Biden is underperforming among nonwhite voters in New York Times/Siena College national polls over the last year, helping to keep the race close in a hypothetical rematch against former President Donald Trump.

On average, Biden leads Trump by just 53% to 28% among registered nonwhite voters in a compilation of Times/Siena polls from 2022 and 2023, which includes over 1,500 nonwhite respondents.

The results represent a marked deterioration in Biden’s support compared with 2020, when he won more than 70% of nonwhite voters. If he’s unable to revitalize this support by November 2024, it will continue a decadelong trend of declining Democratic strength among voters considered to be the foundation of the party.

Biden’s tepid support among these voters appears to be mostly responsible for the close race in early national surveys, which show Biden and Trump all but tied among registered voters even as Biden runs as well among white voters as he did four years ago.

With more than a year to go until the election, there’s plenty of time for Biden to reenergize his former supporters. Indeed, the Times/Siena data suggests Biden could approach — though not match — his 2020 standing simply by reclaiming voters who say they backed him in the last election.

But the possibility that his standing will remain beneath the already depressed levels of the last presidential election should not be discounted. Democrats have lost ground among nonwhite voters in almost every election over the last decade, even as racially charged fights over everything from a border wall to kneeling during the national anthem might have been expected to produce the exact opposite result. Weak support for Biden could easily manifest itself as low turnout — as it did in 2022 — even if many young and less engaged ...

Trump should campaign on cleaning up the crime in black neighborhoods and get their votes in a heart beat. And how to do that cleanup? Put criminals in jail and keep them there.

Does erosion for Biden mean support for some other radical Dem?

*****************”

No other democrat can beat Trump no matter the amount of cheating. They don’t have the name recognition, which is a requirement for their lazy base to show up.

If the Establishment of the United States rigs the 2024 election for Biden/Harris like in 2020......we’re done as a nation with no chance of improvement.

If they do the right thing and rig it for Trump in 2024, we have a slim chance at a better future.

Even if they don’t vote him, the vote counters in the big cities will “correct” their votes to make sure Joe comes out on top.

I had totally forgotten about Tom Steyer. He dropped out after coming in third in South Carolina.

I’m not sure their cultures are intelligent enough to fully understand what’s being done to them but I guess this is a start
