New polling suggests the country is about to see a βracial realignmentβ in upcoming elections.
A recent analysis shows a consistent downturn in the number of βnonwhitesβ who call themselves Democrats.
John Burn-Murdoch is the chief data reporter for the Financial Times. His March 11 analysis shows that since 1960, there has been a steady decrease in black people, Latinos, and other nonwhites identifying as Democrats. As it currently stands, about 50% of minorities self-identify as Democrats.
Burn-Murdoch said he foresees that a majority of nonwhite voters could identify as Republicans in future elections.
βThe migration weβre seeing today is not so much natural Democrats becoming disillusioned but natural Republicans realizing theyβve been voting for the wrong party,β Burn-Murdoch said.
Other polls have produced similar data. According to Gallup polling, Democrats have lost nearly 20 points in support from black Americans switching party preference in the last three yearsβdown from 86% to 66%.
The Financial Times reporter chalks this up to reduced stigma for voting conservative among nonwhite voters. Basically, conservative people of color are now choosing to vote their values, not party loyalty, Burns-Murdoch says.
One example he shows is on the issues of gun rights and abortion. The percentages of nonwhite voters who vote pro-Second Amendment and pro-life are growing.
These data points could have importance in the upcoming election. For example, in Georgia, eligible black voters make up a third of the population.
In a statement to The New York Times, Joe Biden pollster Celinda Lake said, βWe have to get the [African American voter] numbers up and we have to get African American voters out to vote, and we have to get the numbers up with young people and we have to get them out to vote.β
Biden presently has 73% support with black men and 83% support from black women. According to The New York Times, no Democratic candidate has won less than 80% of the black vote since the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
Also according to The Times, former President Donald Trump currently has almost four times the support of black voters than he had in 2020. A New York Times-Siena Poll has him at 23% black support, up from 4% support in 2020 and 6% in 2016.

Black college athletes do, according to the NAACP. The NAACP is urging black athletes not to go to college in Florida:
The NAACP asked Black student-athletes to reconsider their decisions to attend public colleges and universities in the state of Florida, in response to the University of Florida and other state schools recently eliminating their diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
In a letter sent to NCAA president Charlie Baker and addressed to current and prospective student-athletes Monday, NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson wrote, βThis is not about politics. Itβs about the protection of our community, the progression of our culture, and most of all, itβs about your education, and your future.β
The idea that black athletes at major sports schools like Florida and Florida State need DEI departments toβ¦what? Prevent them from being discriminated against? The idea is laughable, as is the NCAAPβs apparent suggestion that DEI bureaucrats are somehow helpful to a studentβs education.
My guess is that not a single black athlete who otherwise wants to play for Florida, Florida State or any other public Florida college will be deterred by the NCAAPβs advice. What this episode really shows is how useless the once-relevant NCAAP has become. And also, how Florida has taken the lead in adopting common-sense policies that have put the state in the Leftβs cross-hairs.
You might think that the leftists who run California would be worried about the rapid decline of that state, but no: they are doing all they can to accelerate it. In the Wall Street Journal, Heather Mac Donald outlines Californiaβs latest descent into racialist madness:
What would happen if lawmakers reinvented the criminal-justice system to target βsystemic racismβ instead of crime? California is about to find out. Thanks to a 2020 law called the California Racial Justice Act, every felon serving time in the stateβs prisons and jails can now retroactively challenge his conviction and sentencing on the ground of systemic bias.
To prevail, the incarcerated prisoner need not show that the police officers, prosecutors, judge or jurors in his case were motivated by racism or that his proceedings were unfair. If he can demonstrate that in the past, criminal suspects of his race were arrested, prosecuted or sentenced more often or more severely than members of other racial groups, he will be entitled to a new trial or sentence.
We all know what this is about. Blacks are arrested, prosecuted and convicted more often than members of other races because they commit more crimes. Heather has some of the numbers for California:
In Los Angeles, blacks are 21 times as likely as whites to commit a violent crime, 36 times as likely to commit a robbery, and 57 times as likely to commit a homicide, according to police department data. Those data come from reports filed by victims and witnesses, who are themselves disproportionately black.
Blacks over-offend to an appalling degree in other states, too. But liberals cling to the hoary myth that βdisparitiesβ in law enforcement can only be due to racial bias in criminal jutice.
The Racial Justice Act is turning Californiaβ criminal justice system into a farce:
When a felon in San Francisco contested his arrest and prosecution for having a loaded handgun in his car, a βrace expertβ testified that the arresting officerβs use of the phrase βhigh crime areaβ demonstrated βbias against people of color.β The trial judge disagreed, but an appeals court reversed and allowed the felonβs claim to proceed. (Speaking of bias, that same expert, Dante King, asserted at the University of California, San Francisco, on Feb. 8 that βwhites are psychopathsβ whose βbehavior represents an underlying, biologically transmitted proclivity.β)
***
A case from Contra Costa County last year shows the snowballing potential of the Racial Justice Act. A judge found that four black gang members who had committed murder as part of a bloody feud between two Oakland gangs had been improperly sentenced to life in prison without parole. That conclusion wasnβt based on flaws in the four defendantsβ trials, but simply on an alleged historical pattern of sentencing bias toward black gang murderers. The black comparison group in the case was made up of 30 black defendants who had also committed gang murder in Contra Costa County from 2015 to 2022 and who had also received life without parole. All 30 can now sue to erase those sentences.
It is hard to understand how there can be a political movement in favor of more crime, but there you have it. In California, that movement evidently represents the majority. If, for some reason, you still live in California, you should get out while you can.
