The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll, conducted January 2-4, found that growing support among Hispanic and Black voters is helping former President Donald Trump’s support grow over President Joe Biden for 2024. The poll shows that among likely voters, Trump holds 45% support compared to Biden’s 41% in a head-to-head faceoff. The data notes the lead is outside of the poll’s 2% margin for error.
ADN America notes the latest poll “flips the script on the previous The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll conducted in October when Biden held a 48% to 44% advantage over Trump. Other recent polls also show Trump with a significant lead over Biden in key swing states.”
The “flip” is due in large part to his growing support among Hispanic and Black voters, the poll shows, which is higher than Republican presidential candidates have received in the past.
Trump has 10% support among Black voters compared to Biden’s 74%. While 10% is far lower than Biden’s support, it is actually much higher than Republican presidential candidates normally garner.
Among Hispanics, Trump has 45% support compared to Biden’s 38% support. Trump has 49% support among white voters, compared to Biden’s 35% support.
Trump also does better than Biden with male voters, beating Biden 50% to 34%, according to the survey. Biden, though, does better with female voters, beating Trump with 45% support compared to Trump’s 39%.
Trump performs better than Biden across every age demographic except seniors age 65 and older. For that group, Trump and Biden are tied with 42% support. Each age demographic has a large percentage responding they remained “not sure,” ranging between 15% and 20%.
The Center Square Voter’s Voice poll also found that 67% of Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction.
