WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden may be facing a tougher landscape six months out from Election Day, as a new poll shows that fewer Black Americans – a key voting bloc – say they will show up to the polls this year when compared to 2020.
The Washington Post/Ipsos poll, conducted between April 9 and April 16, found that 62% of Black Americans said they were certain to vote in this year’s election. That’s down by 12 percentage points compared to June 2020, where 74% of Black Americans said the same.
The poll also found that only 41% of young Black Americans ages 18-39 were certain to vote, compared to 61% in June 2020.
Black Americans' support for Biden overall has decreased too, according to the poll. Biden won 92% of support from the demographic group four years ago. However, the poll found that 74% of Black Americans said they would definitely or probably vote for Biden this year.
