(DCNF)—CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten expressed surprise Monday at the degree to which “young black men” are abandoning the Democratic Party
Former President Barack Obama on Thursday urged black men to support Vice President Kamala Harris while speaking at a Pittsburgh-area campaign office, asserting he believes a reason for their reluctance to back her is that they “aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.” Enten, on “CNN News Central,” said Obama was likely mistaken in his criticism as “young black men” have increasingly been leaving the Democratic Party over multiple elections against former President Donald Trump.

“I look at the polls all the time and sometimes there’s a trend line, now, I never noticed before and make me go, ‘Woah.’ This is one of them. Alright, this is the Democratic margin among black men under the age of 45 in presidential elections. You go back to November of 2012, what do you see? You see Obama by 81, [former Secretary of State] Hillary Clinton only won ’em by 63,” Enten said. “Then we’re all the way down to [President Joe] Biden last time around by 53. A tremendous drop already. And then you take a look at the average of the most recent polls and Kamala Harris is up by only 41 points.”
“That is about half the margin that Obama won them by back in November of 2012. And this I think is, you know, when Barack Obama goes and last week when he was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to essentially talking to young black men, he made it seem like it was a Kamala Harris-specific problem,” he added. “Uh-uh. This is part of a longstanding trend of young black men moving away from the Democratic Party. And Kamala Harris is just the latest to face that magnitude of black, younger black men going towards Republicans.”
Black voters have shifted away from Democrats from 2016 to 2024, according to a Saturday New York Times/Siena College poll. During the 2016 election, only 7% of black voters favored Republicans, a number now at 15%.
While Trump is gaining traction with “working class voters,” including nonwhite Americans without college degrees and union members, Enten previously noted that Harris could offset his gains with her “ridiculously” strong support among college graduates, particularly “white college grads.”
Kamala locked up a lot of black males for pot in CA to brag about being tough. They feel persecuted
Can’t have any blacks leaving the DemocRat plantation.
Punked by their own hype...could they BE more ignorant?
Democrats: Blacks are so last decade....illegals are in.
But do they vote?
Black women have been at the forefront of the DEM party with their blind and cult-like allegiance to it. Maybe black men feel it’s their time to not be ignored. Still doesn’t mean the freebie train won’t entice them to stay on the plantation.
Only the half not in jail.
“… he believes a reason for their reluctance to back her is that they “aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.”
He believes stupid. The demon party have snookered blacks along for sixty years and they are now in the process of replacing blacks with people who aren’t even citizens.Turns out blacks aren’t t as stupid as the demons have calculated.
wow... people finally realizing which party actually freed the slaves.
where’s that sign that says abe lincoln was a democrat?
BTTT
Some even feel betrayed as their kid's schools have gone to poo. Does watching invaders get free housing, food, health care, jobs and loaded plastic resonate? Wait until the left starts calling black folks racist too.
Seems I've heard this before.
Because black people now realize that they got totally played by Democrats. Years of Democrats expressing undying love for blacks every four years... then nothing but silence for the following three and a half years. When Democrats gave blacks the bums rush in favor of their new lust, illegal immigrants, black finally woke up. Democrats have been handing money and housing to illegals, hand-over-fist, and blacks suddenly realized, “Wow, we got played by Democrats, big time”.
Or as Malcolm X would say.
Oh, I say and I say it again, ya been had!
Ya been took!
Ya been hoodwinked!
Bamboozled!
Led astray!
Run amok!
This is what he does....
Lincoln was a Whig, then a Republican but he would be insulted to be called a Democrat.
That, coupled with the realization that OBAMA DIDN’T DO A DAMN THING FOR BLACK PEOPLE, BUT ONLY HIMSELF...............
Surprise, surprise, surprise, the democrats gave Blacks a big FU bringing in millions of illegals to not only compete for jobs, and government benefits but also in no uncertain terms told them they were no longer important to them as a voting block. The only sad thing is that Blacks will still overwhelmingly vote for the communists.
