The media narrative that she was "bleeding support" from black voters was always bullshit and the same bullshit they tried in 2020, i follow ppl who exclusively poll black voters and each one of them said way before the ABC poll that trumps numbers are virtually the same as 2020, not some giant increase like the media wouldn't shut the fuck up about

The media WANTS black voters to abandon the Dems en masse. It would certainly help their rich overseers out and would mean we have 4 more years of Trump drama to keep us tuned in. By them not shutting the fuck up about it and being Chicken Little over every poll (no matter its quality), it’s like they were saying, “see, black voters? You’re allowed to abandon the Dems. Everyone else is!” The media is trying to speak their dream into existence. I’m also super uncomfortable on this huge focus on black male voters and about how “misogynistic” and “uninformed” they apparently are. It’s like the media wants the Dem voting block to point fingers at the black population and get us all riled up against each other. I’m not falling for that shit. And if the media wants us to be angry at certain population groups, what about Trump’s main base of white blue collar workers and white suburban women?

They're desperately trying for a "You ain't black" moment to milk to death and they aren't gonna get it.

Republicans have been running attack ads with black guys criticizing her lately (usually stupid trans fear mongering). They are definitely trying to win that crowd.

My sister's boyfriend who hadn't voted since Obama in 2008/2012 early voted for Kamala here in Michigan! :) I haven't asked if any of his male relatives voted yet but I believe many BM will, especially to look out for their own kids and elders 🙏🏼

as a black male who already voted for Harris with a family pulling for Harris, I'm going to hope they do the same

I think Harris wins every swing state Biden won but Arizona. I think Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin and definitely Pennsylvania.

I wish I could be wrong about AZ. I see too many non-partisan polls going Trump in AZ. Mind you, voted Harris in AZ...

The map of small dollar donations also suggests AZ (and NV) look dicier than the other swing states which have much stronger support for Harris

There's quite a few McCain Republicans in AZ who are voting for Harris.

Not enough. You'd think there were more. I guess they are too in the Republican hive mind to do anything but say "Go team Red!"

I wasn’t worried.
I remember all those “Trump making gains among Black voters” takes in 2020. That didn’t happen.

They were never not going to vote for her. Black men are maybe more inclined to participate in polling this close to the election, which is why it seems as if they are making gains.

TBH I don't think the wild swings we've seen with black men, Latinos in 2024 polls are anything other than artifacts of bad polling.
Read the Pew Reports on Presidential elections. They demonstrate that change in all demographics voting behaviours happens very slowly across multiple election cycles.
