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.

    Leading up to the election:

    Frantically trying to explain that if you put your hand in the fire, you’re going to get burnt.

     

    The election:

    “Stupid snowflake librul cuk! Would it trigger you if I do… this!?” puts hand in fire

     

    Since election:

    “Ow! My hand!!” 😢

    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.

    Citizens are getting harassed and brutalized by ICE. Prices are skyrocketing and unemployment is surging. The approval rating should be much lower.

      Don’t get it twisted, white Latinos voted for exactly that, delusionally thinking that the only ones who would be harassed and deported were Latinos less white than them. They’re only opposed more because they found out that the WASPs didn’t consider them white the hard way.

        I went to high school in the mountains of WNC and we had a few Cuban families and They still live in the west of Asheville area and they a hardcore MAGAites to the point of them endorsing P2025 to my face at a big class reunion about a year and a half ago. I saw one of them a about 3 months ago and he was still going on about getting all the illegals out of here. I understand his parents came here to get away from Castro but they want to pull up the ladder behind them. The Hmong are the same. I live in a big Hong area now and fuck me they are fucking rabidly conservatives Trump voters.

        Which I really don’t get. We’re called WASP for a reason. It’s not just because it’s “white Anglo Saxon protestant” it’s because we’re scary in any amount.

        Like shit, I’m far more terrified of other WASPs than any other categories of people.

        (Well, ok I guess technically I’m not protestant anymore, but I consider being raised that way enough.)

          Yup. Shit got pretty bad under Covid as it was. But I can see that happening next, although I doubt blacks are going to be overlooked… I suppose all the attacks on DEI and trying to get universities and companies to change all their hiring and teaching policies is part of it already.

            alot of them turned to trump over covid. University have thier own problems way before the pandemic, covid just worsened it. low job prospects, causing enrollment issues(at least for state universities in cali), example for stem not much resources going to expanding lab works for bio students, which is the most important part of the degree anyways, bad advice from overworked professors that are reluctant to "advise"students. university problems are a symptom of a much larger problem.(trump+ covid definitely unraveled it more). the state uni i went to sources quite alot of students from a nearby CCollege(which decided that to make thier core classes equivalent to what berkely UC wanted, and you can see the fallout of that directive, if you were to take a equivalent course at any other state, you wont face the same difficulty as of that CCollege courses(mostly stem, and english)

          There has always been a big undertow of awful anti-intellectualism/conservatism in this country. Only twenty-five percent is probably being optimist.

    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.

      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.
