CNN reporter Harry Enten was shocked after revealing new polling data that shows Trump gaining a historic level of support from black voters.
In the CNN segment, Enten revealed that Biden’s support among black voters is at 70%, a 16% drop from the support he received from black voters in 2020.
On the other hand, Trump has risen to 21%, a 14% boost from 2020 when he garnered only 7% of support from black voters.

Per Fox News:
CNN data reporter Harry Enten stunned Monday after polling found that former President Trump is expected to garner significant support from Black voters.
An aggregate of network polls found dwindling interest in President Biden among Black voters, down to 70% in 2024 from 86% in 2020. Trump, meanwhile, has cut into Biden’s coalition, tripling his support from Black voters over the last four years, from 7% in 2020 to 21% in 2024.
ADVERTISEMENT“I keep looking for signs that this is going to go back to normal and I don’t see it yet in the polling,” Enten said. “If anything, right now we’re careening towards historic performance for a Republican presidential candidate, the likes of which we have not seen in six decades.”
Enten noted that Biden has seen a slight decline among Black voters over 50. However, support for the current president from Black voters under the age of 50 has cratered, plummeting from 80 points in 2020 to just 37 points in 2024.

Per the Daily Caller:
CNN host Sara Sidner on Monday pushed back when political commentator Bakari Sellers dismissed polls suggesting former President Donald Trump will win a historically large portion of the black vote.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten during a previous Monday segment said Trump is “careening towards a historic performance” with black voters in the 2024 election as President Joe Biden hemorrhages a major segment of this demographic. Sidner, on “CNN News Central,” noted Enten’s reporting and asked Sellers what he makes of it, with the commentator attacking its accuracy and the host asserting these “are the numbers.”
“You just heard Harry Enten with shock and surprise on his face as he was looking at the numbers,” Sidner said. “And I want to go to you first, Bakari. What explains this? Biden 70%, Trump in 2024, 21% of voters, a very high number. And then when you look at 50 and under, the numbers are dramatically different for any Democratic president that we have ever seen. These numbers [are] very high for a Republican candidate. What explains that, you think?”
