A recent poll conducted by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research sheds light on the perspectives of Black registered voters regarding Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

The poll revealed that approximately 7 in 10 Black voters hold a favorable view of Harris, with minimal differences between Black men and women voters. However, there is uncertainty among Black voters about whether Harris would positively impact the country or their personal lives.

Black voters overwhelmingly view Trump negatively, with about 8 in 10 expressing unfavorable opinions of him. Despite this, some Black voters remain skeptical about Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

When it comes to key issues such as the economy, health care, and crime, Black voters overwhelmingly believe that Harris would do a better job than Trump. Harris also holds a significant advantage over Trump on topics like abortion and climate change.

While the Trump campaign has made efforts to engage with Black communities, Harris continues to focus on outreach to Black voters, particularly Black men. Black voter engagement organizations have reported increased energy and advocacy since Harris entered the race.

Overall, the poll highlights the complex views and considerations of Black voters as they assess the presidential candidates and their potential impact on critical issues.

As the election approaches, both campaigns are actively targeting Black voters through various initiatives and events aimed at addressing the concerns and priorities of this important demographic.

With the election drawing near, the perspectives and preferences of Black voters are poised to play a significant role in shaping the outcome and direction of the presidential race.
