So much for the worries about the defections of Black Men from her vote…
Vice President Harris appears to be increasing her support among young Black men, a crucial voting bloc she has struggled with in recent weeks.
New polling from the Alliance for Black Equality, a super PAC mobilizing Black voters in swing states, found that Harris has increased her support by 10 points with Black Generation Z men since early October.
Overall, Harris’s support among young Black men increased from 59 percent to 69 percent between Oct. 4 and Oct. 19. Among Black men ages 23-29, her support rose from 49.9 percent to 62.2 percent. Similarly, among Black men 18-22, support skyrocketed from 47.7 percent to 52.7 percent.
If she can continue to make these types of gains over the next week, the poll predicts Harris would be able to win more than 90 percent of Black voters’ support nationwide.
“This poll is an encouraging sign that Vice President Harris has the potential to get to where she needs to be with Black male voters in order to win on November 5th. In just three weeks, she has made serious gains with young Black men and increased their support of her by 10 points,” Alvin Tillery, co-founder of 2040 Strategy Group and founder of the Alliance for Black Equality, said in a statement.
“These numbers provide evidence that Black men are not holding back their votes from Harris because of her gender, and that Harris needs to keep doing what she’s doing: reminding voters of Trump’s threats to Black life and civil rights. If she continues along this path, I suspect her support from Black men will only keep growing.” ….
