Polling signals Biden slippage with Black and Hispanic voters

• If the numbers materialize next November, it would continue the years-long trend of declining support among Black and Hispanic voters in his party, per the Times analysis.

Driving the news: Biden on average leads Trump about 53% to 28% among registered Black and Hispanic voters in a compilation of Times/Siena polls from 2022 and 2023, including more than 1,500 respondents.

• The compilation of polling shows that Biden's decline includes Black and Hispanic voters across ages, genders and education-levels when compared to 2020.
• The polling shows that one of Biden's greatest vulnerabilities among this bloc may be those without a college degree. He had a 61-23 lead among Black and Hispanic college graduates, compared to a 49-31 lead among those without a four-year degree, per the Times.

The big picture: Black and Hispanic voters were a key bloc during Biden's 2020 election victory.

• Exit polls from 2020 show that Biden beat Trump 87%-12% among Black and 65%-32% among Latino voters.
• Declining support could translate to low turnout among these groups in 2024, the Times writes, which could be detrimental even if it does not lead to turnout for Trump.
• 5% of these former Biden voters now support Trump, including 8% of Hispanic voters who say they supported Biden in 2020.
