Publication Summary
HIT Strategies conducted BlackTrack from June 22-27, 2020, among 1,000 registered Black voters nationally.
The #BlackLivesMatter protests across all 50 states have permanently shifted the priorities of this election. Racism and discrimination ranked as the top issue priority for 75% of all black voters, more than 25 points than their second priority. Support is high even among specific demographics Democrats are weak with, Black men (74%) and Black voters under 50 (70%), showing that leaning into racism is a winning path forward for Biden and any Democratic candidate mobilizing the Black vote.
