(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.”
Black society is becoming bifurcated just like white society, those who are aggressive, entrepreneurial and on the ball are doing well, the less educated “head down job holders” are further behind and will continue to fall behind.
Black people loved Trump in the 1990s, they wanted to emulate him.
I wondered if this guy was related to Brian Enten, reporter for news nation so I looked him up on Wikipedia and found his Relative is Neil Sedaka (uncle).
Unexpected finding.

Well, their party hates men.
Unless they are gay. Or are chicks pretending to be dudes.
They’ve also failed black men, in particular. They’ve flooded the country with illegals that are suppressing wages, increasing the cost of housing, and causing inflation. That hurts black men as a group probably more than any group.
Blacks are not unaware of this.
Black people loved Trump in the 1990s, they wanted to emulate him.
Black people today are like white people were in the 50’s. They admire the successful and want to emulate them rather than hating them, calling them crooks and wishing they would all go broke, which is now fashionable with failed whites.
This Obunga statement, in and of itself, resulted in a 10 to 15% MORE SURGE in young African-Americans to FAVOR TRUMP.
The ironic thing is that the dems evil pursuit of Trump via lawfare hits a cord with black men. They can totally relate to an unjust legal system.
I suspect that certain videos on social media of Thomas Sowell and by Prager University are having a large effect on the black community.
Now she she said she will legalize it nation wide anything for a vote aka fresh bait.
Black men can identify with Trump, getting persecuted and screwed by “the Man,” and being a resilient badass regardless. Who wouldn’t see this?
