Shop NowIt’s official: former President Donald Trump has just overtaken President Joe Biden in the RealClearPolitics’ polling average. Currently, Trump sits at an average of 44.8 while Biden remains at 44.4, giving the former president a lead of 0.4 percentage points.
This comes as Biden faces a series of challenges including economic hardships, foreign policy issues and the ongoing pandemic.
The data suggests that Biden’s lukewarm support from non-white voters may be a significant factor in this tight race, despite him maintaining his appeal among white voters at levels comparable to four years ago.
In light of these developments, it is important to consider what this means for the upcoming elections and the potential ramifications for both parties going forward.

In terms of electoral success, Democrats have traditionally been supported by non-white voters however, according to the New York Times/Siena College national polls from 2022 and 2023, support for Biden has eroded considerably with only 53% of registered non-white voters backing him compared to 70% during his 2020 campaign.
This generational divide is particularly notable among Black voters, who are increasingly turning away from traditional Democrat strongholds with only 83% of those over 45 supporting Biden compared to 59% under 45 years old.
It appears then that low voter turnout amongst Black and Hispanic demographics could pose an even greater challenge than any kind of mass shift away from Democratic candidates.
The current figures demonstrate how Democrats can no longer rely on strong support from minorities alone.
Rather they must remain proactive in understanding their needs if they want to secure votes come 2024.
Age disparity also plays an important role here as younger generations tend to be more liberal than their predecessors while simultaneously facing more socio-economic challenges such as inflation which disproportionally affect non-white populations who are typically less affluent than their white counterparts.
Furthermore, issues like abortion and threats to democracy might not resonate with them in quite the same way as it does with white supporters due to political realignment triggered by Trump’s Conservative populism across all racial backgrounds.
Ultimately, Democrats need to look beyond identity politics if they want to remain competitive against Republicans in future elections because simply relying on minority votes will no longer suffice if trends persist through 2024.
