Fox News Power Rankings: As Democrats turn left, Black voters tap the brakes
Fox News ^ | August 18, 2026 | Rémy Numa

Posted on 08/28/2026 4:05:45 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

President Trump’s return to office was made possible in part because of increasing support from three traditionally Democratic groups: Hispanic voters (41% supported Trump, a 6-point improvement from 2020), young voters (46%, up 10 points) and Black voters (15%, up 7 points).

There isn’t much evidence that Democrats have figured out how to talk to these voters again, but for two of the three groups, Trump’s declining approval rating is doing the job for them.

In a recent Marquette survey, two-thirds of young Americans said they disapproved of Trump, and 56% said they would support the Democratic candidate in their district. Hispanics were also unhappy with the president: 71% disapproved of his performance and 56% said they’ll support a Democrat this November.

Black voters haven’t come all the way home yet. One in five Black Americans approves of Trump, but only 69% say they’ll support a Democrat in their district. That’s 21 points below Biden’s 2020 share of the Black vote, when he thanked those voters for delivering his victory.

Democratic candidates in three battleground states are also staring at Black voter erosion, but they’ve found ways to stem the losses. In Georgia, Sen. Jon Ossoff is running 10 points behind Biden’s 2020 support among Black voters. In North Carolina, it’s 7 points. In Texas, State Rep. James Talarico is running about even with Black voters over that period.

It’s a different story in Michigan. According to a new Fox News poll, 75% of Black voters support newly minted Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed. That’s down 18 points from their support for Biden.

Black voters have NOT been helped by Democrats.

Nor have Jews.

Not even the Latino voter.

At some point, they surely must come to their senses and realize that their situation has not improved or that in the Jews case, this party works AGAINST their interests. Biden, Obama, Clinton, talked, but were no great allies for Israel.

The Latino voter should ask himself, where open border policies truly lead!?!?!? What does a flood of unskilled labor all competing for positions mean for wages? What does it mean regards the quality in social services? How will undocumented folks impact the safety and security of the Latino community where they end up? These undocumented folks aren’t renting houses or apartments on Martha’s Vineyard.

The sales pitch to the Latino: these are your people, vote for us and we’ll open the border.

They should tell the Latino, vote for us and we’ll let you work on our planation while you live in a ghetto.

IMHO, very few people actually benefit from the Democrat party’s position on the issues. Maybe the interests of LGBTQIA were advanced, there a case can be made.

Again the lie.

In reality Biden did not have a victory. The election was stolen.

Buy a huge margin there are more black Christians than there are white Christians.

The DNC’s embrace of Islam will push blacks Asians and Latinos into the GOP.

Black military guys bled and died just as much as white people did to keep America free. Are you sure you want to turn YOUR AMERICA over to the Jew hating muzzie bass turds? Time for all American vets to unite. We aren’t Communists. Let’s show the camel jockeys that!!! Let’s take it to them.

Supporting Communist Socialist Democrats isn’t very wise. They are not on your side. They are supporting the Bolshie gangbanging Muzzie Pork Chops.

True,

Total labor equality even if that means double standards, quotas, abortion (children are seen as a liability and nuisance to a feminist, until they are 35-45 and suddenly want one, then the insurance and tax payer are supposed to fork out 100k so they can conceive.)...

Young people that generally vote Democrat haven't really been helped by the Democrats. The blue collar employees that are in unions, which tell them to vote Democrat. Example: auto and steel industry...

Mamdani is the perfect Democrat.

When he's done, the housing market will be WORSE.

Food costs and availability will be WORSE.

How is this man helping the poor? The dual income family with children struggling? He won't.

I suppose being told you can get a free lunch after all, has an appeal to some. Just tell them it'll be “free” because we're saving money somewhere in a government program that was wasted, or taxing the rich, that always seems to work.

It can be argued that if these people are this dumb, they deserve what is coming. But there is an impact on the rest of the nation, and there are many good people among the idiots that don't agree and will be collateral damage. Besides, you can't give up and must keep hope.

It will take years. . .

We shall see. Trump has a way of getting projects that take years done much quicker.

This is why they assassinated Charlie Kirk.

A most excellent post!

“IMHO, very few people actually benefit from the Democrat party’s position on the issues.”
