South Carolina Democratic Representative James Clyburn brushed off the surveys released on Friday that indicated a potential waning of President Joe Biden's support among African American voters. Recent surveys have shown a decline in Biden's popularity among black voters, a departure from 2020 when he garnered an impressive 92% of their votes. When GMA3 co-host Eva Pilgrim highlighted this apparent decline in support, Clyburn responded promptly and decisively.
Clyburn said to Pilgrim, "When I see this, I get worried." "I don't trust the stats, if they have any validity. I often converse with Black folks. My three daughters are black. They vary in what they tell me. My grandkids dispute this with me.
In December, Politico received a GenForward survey that revealed that just 63% of African American respondents favored Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race, with 17% supporting former President Donald Trump. In CNN's 2020 exit survey, 12% of black voters endorsed Trump, suggesting a change in the percentage of black voters who backed him.
In six crucial states, Biden performed worse against Trump in areas with higher levels of diversity, according to a separate early November New York Times study. The New York Times said that Trump's gains among black voters were "unseen in presidential politics for a Republican in modern times," with the black electorate voting for him up 22 percentage points.
Clyburn went on, "I'm not sure where those figures are coming from." "We know what occurred in the previous election when you pose a question and someone bases their view on incomplete or false information, and the other side appears to be fairly skilled at disinformation. Even after the election was done, they continued. It continues to this day. This site is full of false information. Many statements made are untrue.
According to polls, Hispanic voters have also been moving away from Biden, with many of them thinking that if Trump were to win back power, their financial circumstances would improve.
