New Report Shows Support for Democratic Party Declining Among Black Women

According to a new report, black women are leaving the Democratic Party, cracking the base. The 3rd annual Power of the Sister Vote conducted by Essence and The Black Women’s Roundtable found an 11-percent drop in black female voters (from 85 to 74 percent over one year), who believe the Democratic party best represents their interests. Additionally, more than one in five black women don’t think either party best represents them — an eight-point increase from last year.This is not the first signal of trouble from a constituency that has been the party’s most loyal voters.
