The surge in support from Hispanic voters that helped power Trump to victory has waned since he took office, with his approval rating among Latinos falling 3 percentage points to 34% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll last week, amid concerns about the economy and the president's hardline approach to immigration.

Trump's disapproval ratings among Hispanic voters reached 61%, up 7 percentage points, compared with a 5 point increase among Americans overall, to 53%.

Trump won 46% of the Hispanic vote in November's election, 14 points higher than in 2020, according to Edison Research exit polls.

Trump's approval rating on immigration policy among Hispanic voters declined 4 points to 32% while staying steady at 54% among white poll respondents.

I guess all those who favored him from the Hispanic communities, disliked their friends and neighbors.

In spite of the fact that he targeted them, they liked him and many still do.

So sad.

1. Too bad for them that he doesn't need them now.

I didn't realize so many people can't recognize substance over bullshit.

3. When someone tells who they are believe them. And....

I'm sure that abortion is a huge factor in a very, very, devout Catholic community. I wish somehow we could separate religion from our politics - but that's not gonna happen.

7. We could have told Latino voters that Trump wouldn't be good for them (or anybody else), but they wouldn't listen.

8. Trouble Is...

We did tell them. Hell, Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent told them himself, and in no uncertain terms.

It’s like telling a kid they could die if they stick that fork in the electrical socket, but they just HAVE to learn shit the hard way. And sometimes, it takes multiple incidents to get the message across. So, yeah. Fuck ‘em.

9. I suppose I could offer some conciliatory words to those newly-enlightened trump-voting Hispanics.

I just can't bring myself to do it. To hell with them, and anybody else who voted to put trump back in the White House. Unforgivable.

10. Only 3%?

The chickens still love Colonel Saunders.

11. I think the whole thing is an insane horror.

I want to have empathy for Latinos, but it's kind of
hard because of the way they voted.

[Blasphemer]

12. Even White hispanics are starting to realize that as far as the GOP is concerned, they are Black. nt

13. Did they really?

Or is this just another poll tweaked to match the votes he stole?
