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

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.
