New research shows that Democrats’ longtime advantage with Black, Latino, and Asian-American voters has shrunk to its lowest point in more than 60 years. Here’s a look at the data trends.
According to several polls, including Gallup and New York Times/Siena College, Black and Hispanic men may vote Republican in numbers not seen since President Dwight Eisenhower was elected in the 1950s.
A Gallup survey last month showed that the Democratic Party’s wide lead over the GOP in Black Americans’ party preferences has shrunk by nearly 20 points over the past three years, with a similar decline among Hispanics. Here’s the survey results.
Analysts attribute the decline partly to a generational change, with younger voters of color being both more conservative and less tied to the Civil Rights-era preferences of their parents and grandparents.
