Democrats face challenges in minority voter support

A new report from Blue Rose Research shows troubling trends for the Democratic Party ahead of the 2024 elections. The analysis draws from 26 million voter responses and highlights key issues. Younger voters and those who are less politically engaged are shifting towards the Republican Party. In the last election, former Vice President Kamala Harris only won minority women among voters aged 26 or younger. In contrast, more than half of men and white women in that age group supported President Donald Trump. The report notes that Trump has gained significant support in immigrant communities, including Black, Hispanic, and Asian voters. It estimates that immigrant voters moved from preferring Biden by 27 points in 2020 to favoring Trump by 1 point in 2024. Many voters now view Trump as more capable of improving their lives compared to Harris. Concerns about the cost of living have overshadowed issues typically endorsed by Democrats, such as climate change and abortion. Voters seem to trust Republicans more on handling economic matters and inflation. Interestingly, politically disengaged voters are leaning towards the GOP. If all registered voters had participated in the 2024 election, Trump's margin of victory could have been even larger. The report warns that the Democratic Party faces serious challenges as it loses support among key demographics. Looking ahead, projections indicate that Democrats could lose House seats and electoral votes by 2030. Currently, the party lacks a strong national leader and is facing low approval ratings. With limited legislative power, Democrats could struggle in the upcoming 2026 Senate elections.
