75% Informative

In 2012 , 87 percent of Black men backed former President Barack Obama ; in 2016 , 82 percent backed Hillary Clinton .

This year , 70 percent have said they're backing Vice President Kamala Harris , per a recent poll.

The erosion Democrats have seen could be attributed to any number of reasons, including economic stagnation.

The rise of disinformation is a problem that only amplifies Democrats ’ struggles, experts say.

Disinformation has been spread over social media by celebrities, podcasters, and other prominent personalities.

Black voters under 50 far less likely to support Harris than those over 50, according to a recent poll.
