Former President Donald Trump has said that polling shows “numbers we’ve never seen” in terms of support from women and minority voters.
In an interview with Breitbart News, Trump credited this surge to concerns about “Safety and security,” which “more than anything else” are driving voters to the Trump camp as voters “don’t feel safe” with “lunatic” Joe Biden in office.
“They don’t feel safe with this lunatic,” Trump said. “He’s a terrible president. He’s the worst president in history. He’s the most incompetent and most corrupt president we’ve ever had,” Trump continued. “He’s willing to weaponize the Justice Department to go after his opponent. Nobody ever thought that was ever going to be happening in our country. It happens in a lot of countries in the third world, banana republics. But nobody ever thought they’d see that. But above all, I believe they want security.”
Public polls show a significant shift in support among women and black and Hispanic voters. New York Times polling indicates even support between Trump and Biden among women voters, with Trump effectively bridging the 11-point advantage Biden had in the 2020 election.
With Hispanic voters, Trump’s position is looking even stronger. The Economist recently highlighted Biden’s diminishing support in the Hispanic community, with current polling suggesting Trump is set for further gains. For Black voters, Trump’s support has grown significantly from eight percent of the black vote in 2016 to current polling projecting a 17 percent preference for Trump over Biden.
