Not a lot, but more than you'd think. Something on the order of 15-30% of black voters support him, from my memory.

Biden is winning black voters 64% to 13% in this poll that has a crazy amount of Kennedy voters https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/07/11/amid-doubts-about-bidens-mental-sharpness-trump-leads-presidential-race/

But that's bad because he won 87% to 12% in 2020.

Yes, Biden is winning black voters. But considering Trump's entire vibe of catering to white supremacists, it's supposing he has much support at all.

I think you think we're arguing, but we're not?

I wasn't arguing. Just bringing the relevant polling to the table. 30% black support would be a landslide election for a Republican. 13% when he won 12% in 2020 doesn't even seem worth remarking upon. So I think that's an important distinction.
