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.
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!
My sister in law worked among a lot of Latinos for various jobs, and one of the first culture shock moments was when she realized how many slurs were casually thrown around, between the various groups, depending on who was a first-wave immigrant, and where they came from, etc.
She speaks Spanish fairly fluently, and knows a bit of Portuguese, but looks like a typical suburban white lady, so many things were said within earshot when she was first on the job, LOL.
So what you are saying seems like something that definitely tracks. People probably just thought that “other group” is going to be targeted, but not us, we’re from the right country, we voted Republican, or we’ve been here first, etc…when the truth of the matter is that someone like Stephen Miller just sees brown people speaking a foreign language, in “his” country, and wants them ALL gone. Even the citizens.
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.
