As the 2024 general election approaches, President Joe Biden faces challenges in maintaining support from key Democratic constituencies compared to his performance in the 2020 election.
While former President Donald Trump has largely unified his core supporters, he may encounter difficulties due to ongoing legal issues. President Biden still enjoys strong support among Black voters, with a large majority indicating they will vote for him this year.
However, his current level of support among Black voters is slightly lower than what he received in 2020. This suggests that while he remains popular among this demographic, there may be some erosion of support since his last election.

President Biden also continues to hold an edge with Hispanic voters, although his margin over Trump is narrower than it was in 2020.
Republicans have made some gains with Hispanic voters in recent elections. President Biden’s challenge will be to convince this group that their financial situation will improve under his leadership if he is elected to a second term.
One factor contributing to President Biden’s current polling deficit is the lower likelihood of voting expressed by Black and Hispanic voters compared to White voters. White voters, who are more inclined to back Republicans, show higher enthusiasm for voting.
This disparity in voter enthusiasm among different demographic groups could impact President Biden’s overall performance in the election.
Despite these challenges, President Biden still maintains a strong support base among key Democratic constituencies. However, his ability to mobilize and energize these voters will be crucial in the upcoming election.
As the campaign progresses, President Biden must focus on addressing the concerns of Black and Hispanic voters and highlighting his accomplishments in office to maintain their support.
