The erosion of support among Black men for Democrats, including Harris, is a real trend. According to polling from NBC News, Black men have voted for the Democratic presidential nominee at lower rates in every general election since 2008,

A recent poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 7 in 10 Black voters had a favorable view of Harris and preferred her leadership to that of Trump on several major policy issues including the economy, health care, abortion, immigration and the war between Israel and Hamas.

Donald Trump has claimed that Barack Obama admitted a "total lack of enthusiasm for Kamala, especially with Black Men."
