Black Voters Abandoning Joe Biden in Georgia: Poll
Joe Biden is losing the support of Black voters in Georgia ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Georgia is a key swing state that could decide who wins November's race. In 2020, Biden flipped the state from Donald Trump by 11,779 votes, or 0.24 percent of the 5 million ballots cast, making Trump the first Republican to lose the state in decades. But since then, polls have suggested Trump may flip the state back as support for Biden wanes.
Key to Biden's potential endurance in the state is the Black vote. In 2020, he won 88 percent of this demographic, but last week, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll showed that 58.6 percent of Black Georgians said they would support Biden, while 20.4 percent said they would support Trump. Ten percent of Black Georgians said they do not plan to vote in 2024.
Meanwhile, an October survey by the New York Times and Siena College also showed 76 percent of Black Georgians favor Biden, while 19 percent favored Trump.
