More Black Americans Are Certain to Vote for Harris

A new Washington Post-Ipsos poll of Black Americans finds that 69% say they are “absolutely certain to vote” in November, up from 62% in April, albeit still lower than 74% in June 2020.

“That increase is important for Harris, as she tries to rebuild the multicultural coalition that put Barack Obama in office in 2008 and Biden in 2020. It also mirrors other polls showing that she has gained ground among Black voters in the last two months. Her gains have been more pronounced among Black Americans than the general public, but she has also seen growing support from Americans writ large.”
