President Donald Trump receives 14% of the Black vote if the election were held today, according to a new Newsmax, John Zogby Strategies Poll.
The online poll of 600 Black likely voters nationwide was conducted Sept. 4-7 and has a margin of sampling error of 4.1 percentage points.
Biden’s lead is across the board among this most loyal group of Democrat voters but there are some potential pitfalls for the former Vice President.
In 2008 and 2012, Barack Obama won 96% and 93% of the Black vote. Hillary Clinton’s 89% to Trump’s 9% victory among Blacks was not enough to win the presidency.
Also, low Black turnout in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania helped Trump.
If Trump’s 14% total holds into November, this could hurt the Democrat nominee again in must-win in critical Rust Belt, along with Minnesota, Georgia, and Texas, which Biden hopes to win.
