Washington, D.C. – 111/5/2024 – TANTV announces the results of the African Diaspora 2024 Presidential Election Poll, revealing key insights into the political preferences and leanings within the African diaspora community in the U.S. As the nation looks towards the 2024 presidential election, this poll provides valuable insights into the influence and voices of African diaspora voters, an essential demographic in American politics.
The poll gathered responses from participants across the U.S., capturing perspectives on the two major candidates, Democrat Kamala Harris with running mate Tim Walz and Republican Donald Trump with running mate J.D. Vance. This initiative marks a significant effort to spotlight the priorities and political engagement within the African diaspora, a community historically underrepresented in U.S. election polling.
Key Findings
- Democratic Support Dominates: The results show overwhelming support for Kamala Harris, with 77% of respondents expressing a preference for the Democratic ticket. The data reflects strong approval across multiple demographics, particularly among registered voters and moderate political identifiers.
- Engagement Opportunities Among Non-Registered Voters: While non-registered voters make up 20% of the sample, a substantial portion indicated that they would still participate in campaign activities such as mobilizing and volunteering, highlighting potential for increased engagement in future elections.
- Diverse Political Perspectives: A significant 36% of respondents identify as Independents, reflecting a diverse range of political views within the African diaspora community. Among this group, Kamala Harris maintains majority support, though there is some interest in alternative candidates, signaling an opportunity for broader outreach and engagement.
- Age and Diaspora Background Impact Preferences: Harris enjoys particularly strong support among middle-aged and older voters, as well as respondents from Nigerian and Cameroonian backgrounds, who make up a considerable portion of the African diaspora sample. Support for Donald Trump, meanwhile, is highest among younger voters and those identifying as conservative.
