Even though Black Americans are among the most affected by inflation, they continue to give President Joe Biden the highest approval rating among any demographic group for his handling of the economy, polls show.
"President Biden won 87 percent of the Black vote in the 2020 election and his standing among Blacks remains higher than other groups, but it has lost ground," said Mary Snow, a polling analyst for Quinnipiac University, whose recent polls show that inflation, racial inequality and election laws are the most urgent issues for Black Americans., the sharpest year-over-year increase since 1981.
Some political strategists believe Biden still has the support of many Black Americans because the Democratic Party's priorities align with their concerns."When we see them attacking the very things that give us the opportunity for upward mobility, we understand that they are not on our side," Brandon Upson, chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Black Caucus, said of Republican lawmakers.
China Dickerson, a Democratic political strategist in Washington, said Biden's decline in support among Black voters should be of concern to the Democratic Party ahead of the midterms. She added: "When you have a problem with these things, you're going to look to the person in charge. And the person in charge is Biden. Is it his fault? No. But who's in charge?"
Tina McCormick, 56, an instructional aide at a charter school in Newark, New Jersey, who hosts or attends weekend pop-up events where she sells food she cooks, said inflation has impacted her.
