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.

    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.
