Harris regains support from black voters but lags behind 2020 margins: Poll

Published September 9, 2024 12:54pm ET



Vice President Kamala Harris has regained a strong advantage with black voters after Joe Biden saw some slippage, but she is still behind the president’s 2020 lead with that demographic.

A Washington Post-Ipsos poll conducted from Aug. 23 through Tuesday showed that among black adults, 76% said they are definitely or probably voting for Harris, while 82% of registered black voters said they would definitely or probably vote for the vice president. Her numbers are an improvement on Biden’s showing when he was the presumptive Democratic nominee. He had only 66% of black adults and 74% of registered voters saying they would definitely or probably vote for him in a survey conducted by the pollster in April.
