Notable majority feel the country is headed in the wrong direction, and only 27% approve of his job performance

Donald Trump’s standing with Hispanic adults has dropped notably since he took office at the start of the year, according to a new poll.

Polling by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research suggests growing unease among a voting bloc that was crucial to his 2024 re-election victory. The October survey shows that 25% of Hispanic adults now hold a “somewhat” or “very” favorable view of Trump, down sharply from 44% in an AP-NORC poll conducted just before he began his second term.

At the same time, the share of Hispanic respondents who believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction has risen from 63% in March to 73% in October.

    It’s F’d up propaganda, and some cultural differences, that led these communities to vote the way they did.

    1. Some Latin cultures want leaders that talk tough, the “machismo” to crack skulls and “get things done.”
    2. Some are very religious, and were taken in by the Right’s monopoly on religious propaganda and “morality.”
    3. Many fled countries and leaders that claimed to be socialist, but were just awful authoritarian kleptocracies with a shitty veneer of socialism for the people. A country with few resources or those resources are financially captured by major western industry (like oil) and most of the profits go to the leaders. Thanks again to Right Wing propaganda associating any Democrat or social policy with socialism, the minorities FUD voted for the Right because “liberal socialists are evil”.
    4. Sometimes they’re just uneducated assholes that can’t look past #1, just like our reich wing, and choose the least effort, lowest thought, solution to a problem…violence, strong-arm tactics, “simple” solutions.

    Every single racial minority that supported Trump should be forced to donate their bodies to science whenever they die.

    That way we can find out what type of brain tumor causes someone to become the ultimate, unceasingly submissive bitch/cuck.

        The one I know definitely has Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam. Then again, he bragged about his war crimes to me as a kid, so we was always a cruel person.

    The amazing thing here is that Hispanic people were dumb enough to vote for him. Anyone who voted for him deserves all the pain he inflicts, but that applies twice for any members of minorities.

    Nope. Don’t care. Don’t give chicken fried fuck. They were warned but still voted to condemn everyone else because thought they were the “good ones.”

    Have the life you fucking voted for

    These polls don’t really say much. Do they regret or would they change their vote? If there was another election would they still choose Trump over a democrat? Are they blaming the other side and want Trump to do something different?

    M experience in Florida is most of those who think “unfavorably” of Trump in no way consider the other side better and would still support Trump over anyone, even Jesus. Bitch and moan and hate is the general rule for maga.

      Voter enthusiasm is correlated with turnout. Less enthused Republican or independent Hispanics are more likely to stay home on election day.

      Agree those who voted for Trump last election are unlikely to switch to voting Democrat, but if they stay home that makes the path to a Democrat victory more viable. And for that, polls like this are a helpful data point.

    No shit Sherlock. The death camps tend to upset people who get targeted by the secret police.

    The question is why the broad community didn’t see this coming, to such a large degree.

      Anecdotal from the Mexicans I know that voted for him, I think a lot of people convinced themselves that he was only going to go after the “illegal” by THEIR definition Hispanics; Guatemalans and Venezuelans that are bad at “working hard” and it was going to free up resources for their hard working, attempting access via legal means, family members to enter. I tried to explain why this wouldn’t be the case but it fell upon too many deaf ears. Your anecdotal evidence might vary from mine though!

      Especially when he openly said it was coming, over and over again.

      I know Trump lies a lot, but when he says he’s going to do something that causes pain to everyone but himself, he’s generally telling the truth about that.

    25% of Hispanics still approve of Trump? Holy hell, I thought 2020 showed us how stupid humans can be, but this is on a whole other level!
