Trump support among young Black and Latino men spikes in new poll

A new poll shows that former President Trump has historically strong support from young minority voters with less than two weeks before Election Day.

The latest GenForward poll from the University of Chicago, released Wednesday, found that 26 percent of Black men between the ages of 18 and 40 said they would vote for Trump, while only 12 percent of Black women said the same. It is a significant gain since Black voters overall supported Biden over Trump by a nine to one ratio in the 2020 presidential election.

Trump also has improved with young Latino men, 44 percent of whom said they'd support him compared to about 38 percent who voted for him in 2020. Even so, Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris leads Trump overall 47-35 in the poll, which includes large oversamples of young voters of color.

Still, the underlying results provide further evidence of a potential political realignment among minority voters on generational and gender lines. Young Black and Latino Americans have typically supported Democratic candidates – but several surveys have shown weakened support for Harris among these groups, who say economic issues and immigration are the top concerns for their communities.

Where Harris is strong is among women of color. A majority of Black (63%), Asian American and Pacific Islander (60%) and Latina (55%) women say they support Harris over Trump.

White women showed a slight preference for Harris over Trump, 44-40 percent.

The GenForward poll ran from Sept. 26 to Oct. 6 and included 2,359 eligible voters 18 to 40 years old. It has a plus or minus 3.13 percentage point margin of error.

So you mean Barack trying shame black men into voting for his preferred candidate despite the fact he wears mom jeans and throws a baseball like a 6 year old girl didn’t work?

26%? That’s it. After all that, I thought it would be more.

I’m not an election expert, but 55% of the women for Harris is worrisome.

1.) 51% of the population is women.

2.) Women tend to vote more than men.

You need to have a significant advantage elsewhere to offset this.

Or am I wrong?

I think the election will be more like 2016. A victory in the Electoral College for Trump.

I'll predict Trump will win one out of three states (PA, MI, WI).

Plus one other state (VA?)

Trump will lose the popular vote because Harris will win in California by 5 million plus.

Not wrong.

For Democrats this entire election revolves around one’s naughty parts.

Abortion, transing kids, etc.

That’s all you need to know.

I take the opposite view. I
believe Trump will get the popular vote 51%-46% and get the increased minority vote and cut into Harris lead among women.
Trump will retain the majority of white women like he did in 2016 and 2020. Granted it is not going to be a Reagan style landslide but a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised.

RE:; Trump popularity spikes....

Kamala: And my phony ice tea has to be spiked again. The anxiety is starting to creep in again. Saw those internals.
Make it nice and strong.

Dean Martin: You know, Frank, I only drink to forget.

Sinatra: That’s too bad. What happened that you’re trying to forget?

Dean: I don’t know. I forgot a long time ago.
