Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : "I don't know whether it's just the whole idea of a man being head of the household from a religious perspective, again, from a father, who's a minister," who he expects will vote for Trump, he said.
41% : A recent Howard University survey of Black voters in seven battleground states showed Harris leading Trump 82% to 12%.
39% : I'm looking so forward to a woman being president!"He talked about abortion access for his daughter and granddaughter "if something ever happened to them" and about Trump's own history of racial incitement, pointing to the full-page ad Trump took out in 1989 demanding the death penalty for five Black and Latino boys who were wrongfully convicted of raping a woman jogging in New York.
38% : No credible survey shows Trump within striking distance.
34% : "It's like a big game," said Brian Clark, a 32-year-old security guard in Philadelphia who said he prefers Trump but will not vote for either candidate.
33% : Polls show Trump is unlikely to capture a large swath of Black male support where it matters, in key battleground states.
28% : Those who expressed doubts about Harris were most likely to bring up inflation and, in some cases, Harris' career as a prosecutor or questions about her racial identity, which Trump has brought up in an attempt to divide her support.
10% : Robert Mitchell, a 65-year-old human resources director in Atlanta, finds it shocking that any Black man would consider Trump, who is running "to keep himself out of jail," or that any voter could say they are undecided at this point.
