Trump gains support from key demographic groups in 2024 election, AP survey shows

Donald Trump won the presidency by maintaining his core voter base and gaining support from some traditionally Democratic groups, according to the AP VoteCast survey of over 120,000 voters. He made modest gains among Black and Hispanic voters, while Vice President Kamala Harris did not significantly expand her support. About 80% of Trump voters were white, similar to 2020, while two-thirds of Harris voters were also white. Trump maintained majority support among white voters, with about 40% backing Harris, consistent with Biden's 2020 results. Trump saw increased support from young Black men, with 30% voting for him, up from 15% in 2020. Harris's support among Hispanic voters decreased slightly, with about 50% voting for her, compared to 60% for Biden. Gender voting patterns showed Trump gaining ground among both men and women, particularly among younger voters.
