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.

    Bro Spanish language radio in South Florida is absolutely wild with the propaganda. I wasn’t in the least bit surprised when I saw the polling numbers.

        Not just Cubans, but the Hispanic culture by and large in South Florida is that of machismo. So having any amount of empathy is seen largely as a weakness. And I wasn’t a regular consumer of the Spanish radio but every time i was scanning stations I would inevitably come across an Español tucker Carlson, or sometimes tucker himself. Talking about how we need to close the “open border”, and Democrats want to turn everyone gay. You know the typical red meat for chuds.

          Democrats want to turn everyone gay

          🤣

          I don’t even know how that would work in practice if Democrats (or someone else) even wanted that to happen, which they don’t.
