    30% seems high (maybe that’s just me considering I know exactly zero Black men who are planning on voting for Trump but I also talk to zero Black men who live in rural areas so that could be part of it). The 22% figure quoted later in the article seems more in line with what I’ve read elsewhere.

    It’s not just black voters. Youth voters, hispanics, Asians, he’s down in all the demographics and needs to gain ground fast.

    They must have seen that AI photo with Trump and that group of black people and thought, “well that changes things!”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Biden’s support amount Black voters in seven swing states has dipped when compared to the last election cycle, a recent survey found.

    The outlet noted that while there was no swing state polling it conducted in 2020, the AP VoteCast poll found 87 percent of Black men nationwide backed Biden in 2020 and 12 percent of Black men nationwide supported Trump in the last election.

    The Wall Street Journal poll was conducted among 218 to 354 registered voters in each state from March 17-24 with margins of error ranging from 5.2 to 6.6 percentage points.

    Biden’s campaign has stepped up its efforts to reach voters of color in recent weeks.

    Black voters had overwhelmingly supported Biden in 2020 with 92 percent casting ballots for him, according to an analysis from Pew Research Center.

    His campaign launched ads speaking directly to Black voters in battleground states last month to argue another Trump term would be a “disaster” for the demographic.
