Democratic strategist James Carville said Sunday that polling numbers showing Democrats losing support among young minority voters ahead of November’s presidential election are “scary.”
Carville, a former campaign strategist for former President Bill Clinton, made the comments on his podcast, “Carville’s Classroom.”
“I’ve been very vocal about this,” Carville said. “The numbers among young voters, especially young blacks, young Latinos…young people of color are frightening, especially men.”
“We’re not kicking them out, they’re leaving in droves,” he added.

According to a Gallup poll last year, 66% of Black adults said they lean Democratic or support the Republican Party, compared to 19% who said they supported the Republican Party. This was the closest difference, down 19 points from the lead they had previously held. At least 25 years.
The poll also found that 47% of Hispanics identify as Democrats and 35% identify as Republicans. In 2021, 57% of Hispanics identified themselves as Democrats, and 26% identified themselves as Republicans.
Black and Hispanic voters are key voting groups for the Democratic Party, and President Biden is losing support from both groups as he prepares to face former President Trump in November.
A USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll released in January found Biden’s approval rating among Black voters was 63%, down 24 points from 87% in 2020.

The poll also found Trump leading Biden among Hispanic voters, 39% to 34%, and among voters under 35, 37% to 33%. found.
A New York Times/Siena College poll released last month showed Trump leading Biden among Hispanic voters, 46% to 40%. The poll also found that Trump was supported by 23% of black voters.
Carville said Democrats need to make the case that the “consequences” of electing Trump to a second four-year term will affect young black and Hispanic Americans for the next 35 years.
“We’re not trying to convince people under 30 or under 35 to say, ‘Oh, we really built a great country for you,'” he said. “You look at this job market…I don’t think you’re going to buy it.”

He said Democrats “need strong advocacy to explain to young people what exactly is at stake here.”
“Forget about birth control pills, forget about reproductive rights, forget about environmental protection, forget about everything,” he added.
This comes after Carville said in a recent interview with the New York Times that Biden’s vote numbers were due to “preachy women.”
“My suspicion is that too many women are preachy. Don’t drink beer, don’t watch soccer, don’t eat hamburgers. This is not good for you. The message is too feminine,” Kerr said. Mr. Will said. “If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole story is about how women, and women of color, decide this election. I say, “Well, 48 percent of my supporters, the people who vote, are men. Can I be a little more considerate?”
