After the presidential election in November, exit polls<\/a> suggested that Donald Trump could credit his victory to support from young adults, voters lacking a college degree, and Hispanic and Black men. His improvement among Black voters was noteworthy at the time, but new data \u2014 based on voters<\/a> whose participation is confirmed in state election records \u2014 confirms that his share was historic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Trump is the first Republican presidential nominee in nearly half a century to win at least 15 percent<\/a> of this bloc, according to the Pew Research Center, two points higher than exit polls showed. This means Trump nearly doubled his support from Black voters compared with 2020, increasing from 5 to 10 percent among women and from 12 to 21 percent among men.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
