Biden’s Job Approval Among Older Black Voters Starting to Decline in Latest BlackTrack Survey
HIT Strategies’ latest BlackTrack survey continues to examine Black voters’ perceptions of President Biden and the Democratic Party. 

Approval ratings for both have declined over time, but now approval by older Black voters (50+) is starting to decline. The decline in approval amongst older Black voters is noteworthy, in that the rating dropped 12 points in one month. Until December, older Black voters have been a dependable constituency for Biden, rating him consistently high from month to month.  

The declining approval underscore President Biden and Democrats’ challenge in communicating their accomplishments and connecting the dots for many Black voters.   
“Democrats are pursuing the right policies, but that information isn’t getting to Black voters who need to hear it.”

– Terrance Woodbury, HIT Strategies founding partner and CEO
