“If you want to answer the really tough questions about voter turnout and vote choice, enthusiasm and apathy, you need to have the data,” Towler said. “Using data for other groups that includes only a small sample of Black folks and then extrapolating those answers has a lot of problems.”

Such extrapolation led to talk among political pundits and the media about Black men moving away from the Democratic Party and voting for Trump. Towler’s survey, however, shows that wasn’t the case.

Support for Kamala Harris among Black men increased by 24% over time, the survey found, with 82% of Black men voting for Harris on Election Day. Support for Trump, however, dropped to 17%, matching 2020 exit polls.

Other findings include:

-Black support for Harris in 2024 was similar to that of Joe Biden in 2020, with 86% of Black voters choosing Harris compared to 12% for Trump.
-Most Black voters, 57%, voted in person.
-Black voters voted Democratic down the ballot, 72%, with 13% splitting the ticket.
-The majority of Black voters disapprove of mass deportation.
