New polls show that they are “losing ground among some traditionally strong support groups,” including Black and Hispanic voters, and that their traditional advantage over these voters has “recorded.” That could be a potentially big warning sign for Democrats, who have fallen into a “low state.” ”
a gallup poll The results released Wednesday show that Democrats still maintain a significant advantage over Republicans among black voters, but the 47-point difference is the largest in Gallup polls dating back to 1999. minimum value.
When asked which political party they identify with, 19% of black adults said they identified with the Republican Party or minority Republican, while 66% said they identified with the Democratic Party or minority Democrat.
Gallup’s Jeffrey Jones and Lydia Saad explained that much of the decline in black voters who identify as Democrats has been in recent years.

“Most of the decline was recent, with this group’s pure Democratic ID dropping 19 points from a 66-point advantage in 2020,” Gallup said. “At that time, 77% of Black adults supported Democrats and 11% supported Republicans, so the 2023 survey results show that support for Democrats has decreased by 11 points and support for Republicans has increased by 8 points since 2020. means.”
Things are not much better for Democrats when it comes to Hispanic adults, with their current 12-point lead over Republicans the lowest since 2011, according to Gallup.
Polls also show support for Democrats among young people is at its lowest level in nearly 20 years.
“By 2010, young people were the only age group favoring the Democratic Party, and their Democratic leanings remained strong until falling to just 8 points in 2023, the lowest percentage since 2005,” Gallup said. explained.

Overall, Gallup concluded in its “Conclusions” that this data is “particularly concerning” to Democrats.
“Data shows that Democrats maintain an advantage among people of color and young people, but they will be more vulnerable among these groups in 2023 than at any time in the past quarter century. ,” Gallup wrote. “Democratic support among black and Hispanic adults is particularly concerning given the continued strength of the Republican Party among white adults, who make up the majority of voters.”

The Gallup poll is consistent with several other polls in recent months that suggest Democrats are hemorrhaging support from minority communities they have historically relied on.
according to USA Today/Suffolk University Poll Biden’s approval rating among Black voters has fallen to just 63% in January, with Pew Research Center data showing he won the 2020 presidential election. It is below 92%. His approval rating among Hispanic voters fell from 59% to 34%.
A Fox News poll last month also showed that Biden’s support among the Black community has shrunk in recent years, with his approval ratings dropping 25% since 2021. He once had an approval rating of 87%, but that number dropped to 62% in 2023.
