Black voters who identify as conservative tend to vote for Democratic presidential candidates.
In a 1998 study, 34% of Black voters identified as conservative, but 79% preferred the Democratic Party while only 4% supported the Republican Party.
Nearly twenty years later, the Pew Research Center found that 25% of Black voters identified as conservative, still with single-digit levels of Republican party support. In 2016, 8% voted for Donald Trump, up from 6% who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012.
