Black, Hispanic Catholics in swing states favor Harris in new poll

[pnwmom]

Large majorities of Black and Hispanic Catholic voters in seven battleground states say they intend to vote for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, a new political poll, commissioned by National Catholic Reporter, found.

Self-identified Black and Hispanic Catholic voters in the nation's swing states could play a pivotal role in deciding a presidential election that is expected to be decided by a razor-thin margin of several thousand votes in those states.

"If you look at this election, it's a close election. This is an election that's going to be won or lost on the margins. This is one of those races where race and gender really do matter," said John White, a political science professor at the Catholic University of America.

Harris enjoys the support of two-thirds of Hispanic Catholic voters and nearly eight in 10 Black Catholic voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the poll, which was conducted by Mercury Analytics.
