Biden base of blacks and Hispanics abandoning president

[SugarDaddy1]

EXCLUSIVE — President Joe Biden’s base of minority voters, especially blacks, Hispanics and Asians, are abandoning him ahead of the November midterm elections, driven away by an unexpectedly weak economy and poor outlook.

In a series of new Zogby polls shared with Secrets on Wednesday, support from the trio of groups that make up the traditional Democratic base is far below what’s needed to win big in the fall elections or in 2024. In the case of blacks and Hispanics, Biden’s approval numbers are down double digits.

What’s more, pollster Jonathan Zogby said no more than 35% of each group would choose Biden in the 2024 Democratic primaries.

I would vote for someone else in a democratic primary too that doesn't mean I'd vote for a Republican instead of him in the general however.

What you need to understand is the "lesser of two evils" principal. I am not happy with the economy or Biden's performance, but if it came down to him running against DeSantis (Because according to the Constitution and the law, Trump should not even be eligible to run) I would still vote for Biden in a heartbeat- dissappointed in him as I am. So would the vast majority of Americans.

In fact, that is EXACTLY why Biden is president today- because (though you may be loathe to admit it) at the end of four years, Trump was perhaps the most unpopular incumbant president in history. And thus you had all kinds of crossover voters who didn't even LIKE Biden, and were well aware of his many well-documented flaws, but who voted for him in spite of it all just to get rid of Trump.

So many people still fail to understand that, and point to Biden's lack of appeal as evidence that there MUST have been mass voter fraud in 2020, but that wasn't it; people just wanted Trump out. And DeSantis honestly isn't much better. I predict you will probably have a ton of disgruntled minority voters casting votes for Biden (or whoever the Democratic nominee is if it's not him) holding their nose and voting, not because they like the person they are voting for- but because the guy they are voting against is worse.

Stating opinion as fact is the folly of fools. ^^^^

Look to what's happening in the Rio Grande valley for portents of the future. The current economy hurts those who have the least, forget about the current international situation. It's no surprise that the minority communities are turning.

The current economy hurts those who have the least, forget about the current international situation.

To the extent that that is true, the answer is not to put back in power the party that does nothing but kowtow to the rich.

Well, the poor sure as hell aren't going to fund your reelection campaign.

Just in time for National Hispanic Heritage Month, the Texas Tribune headed to heavily Hispanic South Texas to ask a question on many political minds this year. At a time when Democrats and the media are going to great lengths (even at the expense of their credibility) to convince the public that Republicans are an existential threat to the country, Hispanic voters are rapidly becoming Republicans.

Not only are the voters electing Republicans to local offices and participating in this year's Republican primaries in unprecedented numbers, but local Democratic officials are also changing parties or sending strong signals that they intend to change parties after the coming election.

Why is this happening? In South Texas, part of it has to do with the border. Recent polling indicates that 57% of Texas Hispanics and 60% of South Texas Hispanics want to see tougher border enforcement. That's because the small and medium-sized towns that line Texas's border with Mexico are currently in a crisis caused entirely by the neglect of the Biden administration. President Joe Biden threw away years of serious diplomacy and essentially put up a "Welcome, the Border is Open" sign when he abandoned his predecessor's "Remain in Mexico" policy for asylum-seekers. The consequences have been devastating.

With the South Texas region being overrun by illegal border crossers, Hispanic Americans living there have learned precisely the same lessons about the Democratic Party that so many other white working-class voters learned over the past 10 years — Democrats are extremely arrogant, blinded by ideology, lacking in substance, and unwilling to listen to anyone, least of all people and groups whose votes they have long taken for granted.
