Joe Biden’s support among working-class, black, and hispanic voters is waning.
It should come as no surprise to Democrats and the media that white working-class voters have moved away. These voters have recognized the Democrat party’s lack of concern for their well-being. This realization led them to become a vital part of the Trump coalition.
On the other hand, the shift of black and hispanic voters away from Biden should be ringing alarm bells within the DNC.
Axios reported (excerpt):
One of the main reasons President Biden is struggling in polls against former President Trump is his glaring underperformance with a constituency that has long been overwhelmingly Democratic: non-white voters without a college degree.
Why it matters: As Democrats have made major gains with suburban and upper-middle-class voters since Trump’s political ascendance, they’ve been losing support among blue-collar voters.
Pundits have focused heavily in recent years on white, working-class voters who changed their allegiances from former President Obama to Trump — and have made up a key part of the new GOP coalition.
But Democrats have lost significant ground among their non-white counterparts as well, turning a political weakness into a major headache heading into 2024.

Go deeper: Ruy Teixeira, an elections analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, flagged several key issues dragging down Democratic support with non-white working-class voters, based on recent polling.
Non-white working-class voters are not satisfied with the state of the economy, despite some clear signs of improvement. Opposition to Biden’s environmental agenda — the view that Democrats are pushing the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy too quickly — is a consistent theme with working-class voters of all backgrounds.
Maybe this is why the Democrats appear to have shifted their focus towards the transgender community and non-citizens, apparently considering them their new primary constituency.
