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.
It never should have gotten here… I’m incredibly disappointed in Hispanic voters, especially males, SMH.
Many were folks who came here via some “legal” means who looked at those crossing during Biden and resented them. That hatred of folks just trying to find a better life now has an entire gestapo ready to arrest and deport anyone who looks too brown to be in American.
They thought that all that paperwork made them whole in the Republican eyes. They thought those words saying they were a citizen was enough to made confessed racist look the other way. But an administration that doesn’t care about the law, doesn’t care about what status a sheet of paper says.
That’s what’s so crazy about letting your hate get to you. That hate comes back to bite you.
Yes, they let themselves get deluded by a strong man with an ego the size of Jupiter. All of this was painfully obvious to those that barely paid attention. This is what hate gets you, only more hate.
Sadly this is the same the world over.
In the lead up to Brexit, UKIP had a startling number of foreign names on its roster of candidates. Immigrants and children of immigrants, who were so keen to pull the ladder up behind them and be treated by others as a “true” native, that they devoted serious time and energy to making it happen. They don’t like seeing other immigrants because they involuntarily project their own feelings about those immigrants as outsiders, back onto themselves.
I remember back when Priti Patel was Foreign Secretary she was interviewed about her proposed new immigration policy and had to admit that under her rules her own parents wouldn’t have been allowed in the country.
You’re saying they essentially wanted to yank up the ladder after themselves? classic conservatives.
They thought they were white.
they think it makes them white, because they 'european descent like whites", for asians they think if they act white enough(being religious and super-conservative(at least for viet people) or look white enough they will be accepted.
The majority of then grew up in a cult and would never vote for a woman. They have spent their lives in a fantasy world and only react now that reality rudely bumps into them.
blacks, asians, muslims men went for trump. via roegan, jordan peterson and other right wing grifters that assisted them into the manosphere.
STOP. LUMPING. BLACK. MEN. IN. WITH. THESE. SELLOUTS.
Black men were the LARGEST male group to vote for Harris. Im sick of ppl trying to claim otherwise.
Edit; also dont act like men only sold out the country. Trump’s second largest voting block was WHITE WOMEN
A majority of White people voted for Trump (men and women) three elections in a row. Its unusual to treat the largest demographic in the county as a foregone conclusion and direct all ire at minority groups as a whole.
By all means, ire towards anyone that voted for Trump is acceptable but perhaps we should talk about who keeps voting for him over and over again.
or perhaps making generalizations about people based on race and sex is the inherent logical flaw of racism and sexism even if you feel you have the moral high ground.
trying to find who to point the finger at is the conservative solution. the problem lies deeper. it’s in our social media, our news, our socio-economic struggles, and our culture of “rugged individualism”.
like yes, the racism was always there but it was waning before billionaires got their claws into our social media feeds. and that issue goes WAAAAAY beyond America.
just like when Trump was crazy for saying covid was a hoax aimed at him even though it affected the whole world, it would be crazy to blame this GLOBAL shift to right wing authoritarianism on any one race. are white people responsible for modi?
blaming white people or men could only possibly serve to Make people angry. it’s not a solution oriented approach unless you’re willing to go full genocide.
-a white male who despises Trump among others and has worked hard to fight against him and is tried of somehow still getting blamed.
I’ve been seeing more “this minority demographic is to blame” from so called white liberals so I feel its important to challenge that notion and make it clear that the majority demographic has put their support behind Trump for three consecutive elections. In fact the majority of the majority demographic has voted for the Republican candidate since the civil rights act passed in 1964. Minorities are the only reason we’ve had any Democrats in the White House since then.
I agree with you generally. Pointing fingers is not a productive long term strategy. The only complicating factor here is that there are a sizable number of Trump supporters that are also Christian nationalists. Its hard to counter a racial supremacist ideology while ignoring race.
My philosophy is that looking at such data and recognizing trends is important in understanding how/why we got here but applying generalizations to an individual based on data is unproductive and reductive. I don’t think all Hispanic people are responsible for Trump’s election, nor are all White people.
Let’s get real, fellow White man who voted Blue. We’re a minority. For everyone like you and me, three more people who look like us voted for the shitgibbon and his merry band of miscreants. In a country with 95 million people counted as White males (who are NOT Hispanic), that’s 56 million White dudes who think the Shitgibbon is on their side. And when we include Hispanics? Well, all of the 6 million idiots who voted for Trump thinking they would be counted among the good ones because they thought their Whiteness overcame their Hispanicness? They’re in the Finding Out phase.
All you can do is say “Hey, I voted Clinton in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024. It’s not my fault 56 million people who look like me shared a single brain cell and elected that shithead into office.” Do what you can to help people survive in the Shitgibbon Era.
my point isn’t that the stats are wrong. my point is that pointing fingers gets us nowhere. the point is that we need to look at the actual issues and not focus on identity politics, but i guess I’m fighting against every dollar that every billionaire pumps into every piece of media when i say that.
we’re all being whipped into a frenzy and probably going to kill each other over it. it will probably only make everything much worse.
I stopped reading after this. Racism was waning my ASS. White America voted OVER 50% for that jackass while being the largest voting block in the country. It’s white ppls fault.
How the hell do you fix anything when you ignore with whom the problem lies? White ppl are the ones who are overwhelmingly conservative regardless of class and education. Everyone else has this shit figured out except for a few dumbass latinos who thought they were white and are QUICKLY realizing they’re not
you don’t have to ignore with whom the problem lies, you have to keep going.
that’s not the end of the puzzle. that’s not a solution. it’s only anger and blame. demographics aren’t a goal or an answer. they are a guidepost with which we can do further research.
pointing fingers does nothing. we need ACTIONABLE solutions. otherwise you’re just spreading hate and division. the who is useful to figure out the how and why. but if you stop there all you’re going to do is incite blood feuds.
ok, so WHAT’S THE SOLUTION.
if it fully falls to the feet of a race and i an to blame, what’s the solution?
reeducation camps?
people’s skin color didn’t make them this way. to believe that IS racism. no matter what direction it’s pointed.
I’m not saying white people didn’t vote overwhelmingly for Trump. I’m not saying it’s not their fault. I’m saying that assigning fault is inherently the wrong strategy. it’s not a solution oriented mindset. it’s just anger.
so, that’s why i say we need to focus on the HOW and the WHY not the WHO. yes, the who can help us understand the how and why, but it’s not the end of the path. it’s just lazy to get to “the white people did it” and stop.
and would you seriously argue that racism hasn’t gotten worse in america since 2015? because as bad as it might have been, it’s gotten so much worse. the political right finally figured out the internet and are using it to turn as all against each other.
or maybe many white people are just ok being racist
tired of having to tiptoe around it
#murderedbybargraph
So 70% of voters in the USA are white and people think it’s the other groups that won Trump the election?
COVID-19-driven inflation under Biden. Inflation is very unpopular.
BS, if they cared about inflation they shouldn’t have voted for Trump. Every news org and political correspondent was adamant in letting folks know he’d have a negative effect on the economy. “Tax breaks for the rich” were hammered over and over. At the end of the day we deserve this though. Unfortunately now it needs to be painful for the public to wake up, and that sucks for us all.
Every country holding elections In 2024 saw incumbents losing seats
Hope they enjoy the change they wanted
The thing is, political parties and candidates need enthusiasm to win, mearly being not the worst option doesn’t work as a strategy
