Harris maintains strong lead among Black swing-state voters in a new poll

Vice President Kamala Harris still has a wide lead over former President Donald Trump among Black voters in battleground states, according to a new poll, which shows a key slice of undecided Black voters still poised to make a decision about the presidential election.
The findings, from a Howard University Initiative on Public Opinion poll of 981 likely Black voters in battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — show that 84% of likely Black voters will support Harris in November and 8% say they’ll support Trump. Another 8% are undecided.
The results are largely within the margin of error of the previous edition of the survey from September, though they show a small slip for Trump. The September poll showed Harris at 82% (2 points lower than now), Trump’s support at 12% (4 points higher), and 6% undecided or in favor of another candidate.
As many as 66% of Black voters report being very excited to vote for president in November, including 35% who are still undecided about whom they’ll vote for.
