Pew Research Poll: Majority of Black Voters Identify as ‘Moderate’ or ‘Conservative’

As if we needed more data showing that black voters are not as far to the left as the Democratic Party’s progressive faction, the Pew Research Center released the results of a poll demonstrating that most black Americans identify as “moderate” or “conservative.” While most know that black Americans are typically more conservative than their fellow Democrats, the data presented by Pew confirms what we already know. 

A little over a week ago, I wrote a piece explaining why former Vice President Joe Biden is outperforming his competitors among black voters. In the piece, I ascribed Biden’s lead among black voters to the fact that he is seen as a moderate who has not promoted the far-left policies of Sanders or Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). Pew Research Center released the results of a poll last Friday supporting that theory. 

The poll, which also revealed that the growth of Democrats identifying as liberals has slowed, analyzed the political identities of black voters.
