According to a new Morning Consult poll, Joe Biden is losing black voters’ support after his performance on the debate stage.
The poll was conducted among 16,599 individuals and found that Biden’s overall support dropped by seven points. His support among black voters dropped by eight points.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is rising in the polls. Since the first round of debates, Harris gained eight points, surpassing Elizabeth Warren to be the third-highest polling Democrat in the race.
Harris is still trailing behind Bernie Sanders by five points.
In case you missed it, during the first round of 2020 Democratic debates, Biden and Harris got into a spat over forced busing. Harris told Biden, “I do not believe you are a racist.” She then proceeded to hint at the idea that Biden is, in fact, a racist. Prior to the debate, Biden was talking about his record of bipartisanship. He talked about how he had to get along with segregationists (to his credit, he made clear they were terrible people) in order to get legislation passed for the greater good of the country.
