Twenty-six percent of non-white voters cast their ballots for President Trump, according to an NBC exit poll.
If the poll is an accurate reflection of final results, Trump will have won over a higher percentage of non-white voters than any Republican candidate since 1960, according to Republican strategist Adrian Gray. Trump will also have improved on his performance in the 2016 election, when non-white voters comprised 21 percent of his vote share.
Democrats have attacked Trump as racist, including during the 2016 and 2020 elections. In the wake of the George Floyd demonstrations in late May, Democrats lashed out at Trump’s opposition to removing monuments of Confederate figures and the Confederate flag from public spaces, and have repeatedly invoked Trump’s 2016 comments in which he warned of Mexican “rapists” illegally crossing the border. The president has also opted to call coronavirus the “China virus,” which has unnerved Democrats concerned about anti-Asian racism.
However, the Edison poll showed that support for Trump rose among African Americans, Asians, and Latinos. In particular, 18 percent of black men voted for Trump in 2020 compared with 13 percent in 2016, and black women increased support for Trump from 4 percent in 2016 to 8 percent in 2020. Trump also roughly doubled his share of gay voters.
