CNN pollster stunned by black voters' lack of support for Kamala Harris, especially men



CNN polling analyst Harry Enten said he was stunned to see the continuing collapse of support for Democrats from black voters in recent polling.

"Sometimes there's a trend line I never noticed before, and it makes me go, 'Whoa!'" said Enten.

'This is part of a long-standing trend of young black men moving away from the Democratic Party. Kamala Harris is just the latest to face that magnitude of younger black men going toward Republicans.'

"This is one of them. 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. Clinton only won them by 63," he explained.

"Then we're all the way down to Biden last time around, by 53, a tremendous drop-off already," Enten continued. "And then you take a look at the average of the most recent polls. Kamala Harris is up by only 41 points! That is about half the margin that Obama won them by back in November of 2012."

He went on to show that the pattern of decreasing support in the black community for Democrats extended into polling of black males overall, even though Democrats still have far more support from black voters than Republicans do. Even among black women, Harris has historically low support compared to previous Democratic candidates.

"This is part of a long-standing trend of young black men moving away from the Democratic Party," Enten concluded. "Kamala Harris is just the latest to face that magnitude of younger black men going toward Republicans."

Enten posted video of his comments at CNN to his X account.

NBC News asks rural black voters if the Democrats have done anything for them: 'F*** no! No!'



A news crew from "Meet the Press" on NBC News went to a rural grocery store in a community of color and asked if the Democrats had done anything for black people.

The responses were revealing.

"F*** no! No!" said one man who walked away as others in the store laughed. "Taking us down through, girl! That's about it! Taking all our s***! Like the rest of them! Ain't gonna do nothin for us!"

The segment was introduced as showcasing the problem that Democrats have in canvassing black males to vote for their party, especially in some pivotal rural areas of the country. NBC reporter Antonia Hylton talked to others in the store from North Carolina about why they're so apathetic about politics.

"Well, you just sit there and you see your elders say something to you know the town hall or something like that, and nothing's being done about it, after a while, it just becomes a non-factor in your life," said an unidentified customer of the grocery store.

"You just feel like, I'm gonna do what I got to do, survive on a day to day, make way for my family and everything like that," he added. "Politics don't really matter."

Hylton went on to interview a business owner at the store.

"Has Biden and generally the Democratic party, have they fulfilled promises that they've made over the last couple of years?" Hylton asked.

"To me, in a small down like this, it really doesn’t matter who you have in office. The effect that we experience is the same," responded Michael Covington.

"It don't matter if it's Biden, it don't matter if it's Trump, it don't matter if it's Obama or Clinton or Bush, it really doesn't matter," he explained. "What we feel down here is exactly the same. They could never even tell us who the president is, and we really still gonna be exactly the same, you know what I mean."

Numerous polling shows that the apathy towards the Democrats is not limited to black voters in rural regions. Experts believe the party is hurtling towards catastrophic losses in the midterm election that will severely hamstring President Joe Biden's efforts to push forward his agenda.
