Research shows 70% disapprove of job US president – who won backing of nearly half of Latino voters in 2024 – is doing

A majority of Latinos disapprove of Donald Trump and his economic and immigration policies, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center.

After receiving support from nearly half of Latino voters in the 2024 election, Trump had lost the backing of a majority surveyed in October. Pew found that 70% of Latinos “disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president”, while 65% disapprove of his administration’s approach to immigration and 61% believe his economic policies have worsened economic conditions.

Trump won 48% of the Latino vote in 2024, up from 28% in 2016. Latinos, one of the fastest-growing demographics in the United States, account for one in five Americans.

    They voted for him.

    Sure, he will ban abortions which makes the hispanic Catholics happy … but then he sends out ICE to deport them.

      Yeah, my thoughts on this are “well they still overwhelmingly voted for him. And they’ll overwhelmingly vote for whoever the next republican is once Trump croaks.”

        Immigrants have this strange habit of immediately shitting on other immigrants, this is universal.

        Trump support is just about getting rid of any current or future competition. I got my citizenship, fuck you.
