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.

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

    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.

    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 coming in to be naturalized then trying to have the same privileges they have.

      Five: culture war bullshit, which social media started to push for engagement and potential benefits reasons (the CEOs got pretty pissed off at progressives for not welcoming genAI with open arms, and only the right with its anti-intelectualism was accepting of it), and otherwise unchallenging to most of the status quo.

      Six: the voters’ wager: politicians obviously lie, so there’s a non-zero chance it’ll be all better.

    I hate to say “I told you so”.

    No, really. I would’ve much preferred to be wrong about what I thought a second Trump term would look like

    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.

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

    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 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.
