"Just 4% of black voters said they would support Buttigieg if the 2028 Democratic presidential primary were held today, according to the Fall 2025 Yale Youth Poll. Social media users were quick to point out that former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke received more support from black voters after announcing his Louisiana Senate campaign in 2016, with 14% of black voters backing Duke at the time."
"While Buttigieg was one of the least popular potential candidates among black Democrats, according to the Yale poll, he still managed to receive more support than Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (0%) and former Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz (1%). Former Vice President Kamala Harris was overwhelmingly the most popular candidate among black Democrats at 47%, followed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom at 12% and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) at 9%."
The Fall 2025 Yale Youth Poll found Pete Buttigieg had 4% support among Black voters, lower than the 14% Black support David Duke received in 2016. Buttigieg outpolled Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (0%) and former vice presidential nominee Tim Walz (1%) among Black Democrats. Kamala Harris led Black Democratic preferences at 47%, followed by Gavin Newsom at 12% and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 9%. White, Hispanic, and Asian Democrats preferred Newsom over Harris, while white Democrats ranked Buttigieg second. Buttigieg’s strongest support came from Democrats aged 65+ at 18%. Republicans favored JD Vance (51%), with Donald Trump Jr. at 8%.
