president joe biden s job as president, look at this, just 38% of 18 to 29 year olds, 67% of black adults. look back to where we were last year, january to june of 2021, it was 61% 18 to 29 year olds, black adults 87%. look at the change, down 23 points among adults 18 to 29, down 20 points among plaque adults. those are huge drops, brianna. does that translate to voting patterns in the midterms with young voters? this is interesting, and the answer is actually no, it does not. so look at this, the choice for house of rep among 18 to 29 year olds right now, look at that, democrats hold a 21-point lead. in the 2020 election democrats won that group by 24 points. so just a three-point drop. given how the national environment has changed and become much more republican over the last two years, i think democrats are more than happy to see just a three-point drop among adults 18 to 29 years old.
there in every single house election this century. so the idea if you go back and you see here that they are only up by 62 points, that is quite the drop from the elections that we ve previously had this century for the house of representatives. so the question, then, is what s happening here? why are we seeing this? yeah, so if you look at the historical trend, i m going to jump back to president, and you look here, what do we see? we see that in the last election we saw that joe biden won black voters by 75 points. this is a drop, 81 points, 87 points, 91 points. we look a lot more like we did back in 2004 election. now, let s just compare 2020 and 2016. we are going to take a look at ideological groups. about 20% of black voters consider themselves conservative. look here. conservatives in the 2020 election, joe biden won black conservatives by 20 points. that s not bad, right? but look at the 2016 election,
