I’m sure you know by now that Biden isn’t doing too well in the polls. But recent ones have put the Biden White House on full alert, noting that they have a “growing race problem.”
No, we’re not talking about racism or diversity. Instead, it means the Biden White House is no longer popular with demographics that usually sway to the political left. Additionally, he’s losing in five out of six crucial swing states.
According to the most recent poll by The New York Times and Siena College, when placed against Trump, Biden only won in Wisconsin, the whitest battleground state in the group. In 2020, he won all six.
But today, the greater the diversity in the state, the more Biden is losing.
As Axios reported on the poll, Biden has fallen a whopping 33 points among nonwhite voters compared to his 2020 numbers. Meanwhile, Trump has gained support among nonwhite voters, reaching a collective 22 percent among black voters.
As the Times notes, this is “a level unseen in presidential politics for a Republican in modern times.” Both blacks and Hispanics are usually loyal to the Democratic Party. In fact, Democrats typically get around 30 points more from Hispanics than the GOP.
But now Biden only has a single-digit lead in each of the six swing states.
When talking to both black and Hispanic voters, the poll noted that economic issues were one of the main reasons they no longer the Dems or Biden. Hispanics are finding getting a job to be more difficult and gas more expensive, while cars and homes have become unaffordable for many black voters.
As the Times said, “Discontent pulsates throughout the Times/Siena poll, with a majority of voters saying Mr. Biden’s policies have personally hurt them.”
Of course, competence was also an issue.
As one former Biden supporter noted, “I would much rather see somebody that I feel can be a positive role model leader for the country. But at least I think Trump has his wits about him.”
In any case, things are looking more and more abysmal for Biden as we get closer to 2024, for sure.
