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.

    Churches be pushing their political views on these believers. I spoke to one of them when the ice shit started and he was defending Trump under the guise of a libertarian. So after a while of arguing and pointing out his don’t thread on me argument and knowing hes a church person, I said is this what Jesus would do? He just said oh my gooood trying to make it look like he wasn’t getting through to me and was stuck without a comeback.

    I mean. I have no idea why the fuck any of them, no matter how “conservatives values” they might have been, would have supported this dumbass. Did they not even see Stephen Miller in his first term?

    It’s still 25%? What. The. Fuck.

      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.

      Do they not realize that Taco’s little sidekick wants ALL of them out? Not just the criminals, not the undocumented, not those in gangs…

      ALL. There are no “good ones” here. The weird little Stephen wants them all out of here.

        Where Im at they very rarely seem to go after criminals. I mean they say they are as an excuse to do illegal search and seizure in private residences.

    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.

      Don’t forget the “fuck you, got mine” mentality, as once they make it, they’ll try to beat off others from enjoying the same privileges they have.

      Including Melania. To drive the true effect of Trump’s actions into his own reality. Surely there must be SOME way to permeate his numb skull & lack of conscience.

    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.

      Quite a few gays I know have voted for this dumbass. Three times.

      They seem to be deep in denial that Taco and pals are gunning for them. Maybe it will be after the brown people and trans, but it’s coming.

      The base do not forget and they are very sore losers. One thing they don’t do is give up. It took them 50 years to reverse Roe, but they did it. They are coming for gay marriage next and I don’t see any reason they are going to stop with just that as far as trampling the rights of others…

        Maybe show them this… The supreme court is considering whether to hear a case that could be used to reverse it’s gay marriage decision from 2015.

    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.

    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.

    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

      When the last brown people not in ICE are deported, I guess ICE will start turning on itself to deport all the non-whites.
