Poll Finds Less Caribbean American Voters Likely To Support Biden/Harris Than Hillary Clinton
By NAN Staff Writer
News Americas, MIAMI, FL, Fri. Oct. 23, 2020: As the countdown begins to the Nov. 3, 2020 US general elections, a survey of dozens of Caribbean American voters has found that most will be supporting the Democratic ticket over the Republican incumbent – but the
support has dropped from when Hillary Clinton ran for President in 2016.
Caribbean-American magazine,
EVERYBODY’S, said it polled 550 of its subscribers – primarily Caribbean immigrants mainly from the Anglophone Caribbean and their offspring born or raised in the U.S. in 41 states – and found that 94 percent plan to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Many of those Caribbean-American voters reside in the swing states of Florida and Pennsylvania as well as in Ohio, Michigan and Georgia, the magazine’s publisher, Herman Hall said.
Still the magazine said the
94 percent support is less than approximately 97 percent who supported Senator Hilary Clinton in 2016.
Of those that will vote for Team Biden/Harris, 100 percent said it is because of their planned policies for the economy, immigration, covid-19 and civil rights.
“Caribbean-American voters can be the tipping point,” Hall said, adding to the claim made by both Biden and Caribbean roots Senator Harris, that Caribbean voters in Florida can hand the Democrats the win this November.
The magazine’s poll also found that 6 percent of Caribbean voters say they will vote for the Donald Trump/Mike Pence ticket, more than they did in 2016 – when only 2.5% said they would vote for Trump because of his policies on the economy, immigration, COVID-19 and civil rights.
One of the most troubling findings from the poll, according to the magazine, is that 61 percent of Caribbean voters believe that regardless of which party wins the 2020 presidential election, there will be racial violence and civil unrest during the next 4 years in the
US. However, 39 percent do not feel this will occur.
