The Howard University poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Black voters in all seven key states support Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump.
A whopping 82% of respondents told pollsters they supported Harris, compared to just 12% who supported Trump.

About 5% of respondents indicated they are undecided, and the final 1% said they intend to vote for a candidate other than Harris or Trump.
The data show a significant difference between age groups.
About 89% of Black voters over 50 backed Harris, while just 8% backed Trump and 4% backed an alternative candidate.
