Latest polls show too much movement toward Trump from minorities

[Pototan]

I am celebrating my 1000th post here, so I hope I can express myself in a manner that makes my point but does not cause me trouble here at DU, because that's not my intention. When citing polls, please don't tell me to ignore the polls, because I think they are essentially accurate. Could they be off 5 points in one direction or another. Sure. But they are instructive. I also realize that they are a "snapshot" in time and could change.

Having said that, I just watched Harry Enten on CNN (corrected from OP) quote recent polls that show Trump's share of African American voters is the highest for a Republican in decades, perhaps 50 years. Among Hispanic voters, Biden was plus 24 in 2020, now he's plus 2.

I am 71 years old, retired and married to a 68-year-old Filipina and I live nearly full time in the Philippines. I moved here 2 years ago. There are members of my family that I no longer speak to because I called Trump a racist, and by extension, them for supporting him. I supported Black Lives Matter and railed against Trump for calling Mexicans (and we all know he meant all Hispanics) rapist and murders.

If young voters and POC voted for Biden, just in the numbers they did in 2020, our President would be up by double digits.

Sometimes, it's not the candidate's fault for a shift in voter sentiment. Sometimes it's the voters.

Anyway, older white voters with a college education are supporting Biden in greater numbers than in 2020. That's the demographic I'm in. But, if worse comes to worse, I'm already in another country. I made this decision (although I couldn't pull the trigger until 2022) right after 2016. I no longer wanted to live in a country in which 66 million (and later 77 million) people think a fucking no good, lowlife piece of shit, asshole like Donald Trump should serve as it's Chief Executive and Commander in Chief.

Color me discouraged and disappointed. And let me defend myself form any anticipated criticism. I supported and worked hard for Democrats in Massachusetts and nationally for fifty years. Every major office in Massachusetts was (and is) occupied by a progressive or left leaning Democrat. At 71, I am comfortable believing I did my part and earned a retirement for both me and my wife. At some point, others with more "skin in the game" have to wake up and do their part, or at least not work against themselves and their country.
