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.

    I tried so hard to convince some of my fellow Mexicans the repercussions of voting for Trump, I even passed them a copy of the Project 2025 playbook. They still voted for him and are dumbfounded that ICE is dragging them away. Fuck 'em is all I can say.

      I mean, in 2016 he literally campaigned on a platform of keeping Mexicans out of the US. It’s wild that any Mexicans in the US can see that and go “he’ll be the person to do what’s best for me!”

        In the first term he just was terrible to those trying to cross the border. If you were already in, his first term was largely nothing if you don’t care about others.

        This term has been going after people already here, and rounding up and us citizens and looking to remove legal status for those that have it.
