President Joe Biden’s base of minority voters, especially blacks, Hispanics and Asians, are abandoning him ahead of the November midterm elections, driven away by an unexpectedly weak economy and poor outlook.

In a series of new Zogby polls shared with Secrets on Wednesday, support from the trio of groups that make up the traditional Democratic base is far below what’s needed to win big in the fall elections or in 2024. In the case of blacks and Hispanics, Biden’s approval numbers are down double digits.

What’s more, pollster Jonathan Zogby said no more than 35% of each group would choose Biden in the 2024 Democratic primaries.

“It's hard to see where this is a good scenario for Biden,” said Zogby. “His support is lagging among a big part of his base. Does this mean he will not win reelection or he will bow out? It's hard to saym but these are not great numbers among one of the strongest groups that make up his base,” he added.
