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.
Trump is doing what was promised. A lot of scumbags are very happy.
Right? Like it’s weird so many people are saying “This isn’t what I voted for.” Yes, it is exactly what you voted for.
he also said you voted on what i campaigned on.
That’s a lot of scumbags.
About 25%.
342 million x 0.25 = 85.5 million
Don’t get it twisted, white Latinos voted for exactly that, delusionally thinking that the only ones who would be harassed and deported were Latinos less white than them. They’re only opposed more because they found out that the WASPs didn’t consider them white the hard way.
asians: vietnamese, and some chinese in florida too. asian people are next after hispanics.
Yup. Shit got pretty bad under Covid as it was. But I can see that happening next, although I doubt blacks are going to be overlooked… I suppose all the attacks on DEI and trying to get universities and companies to change all their hiring and teaching policies is part of it already.
alot of them turned to trump over covid. University have thier own problems way before the pandemic, covid just worsened it. low job prospects, causing enrollment issues(at least for state universities in cali), example for stem not much resources going to expanding lab works for bio students, which is the most important part of the degree anyways, bad advice from overworked professors that are reluctant to "advise"students. university problems are a symptom of a much larger problem.(trump+ covid definitely unraveled it more). the state uni i went to sources quite alot of students from a nearby CCollege(which decided that to make thier core classes equivalent to what berkely UC wanted, and you can see the fallout of that directive, if you were to take a equivalent course at any other state, you wont face the same difficulty as of that CCollege courses(mostly stem, and english)
I went to high school in the mountains of WNC and we had a few Cuban families and They still live in the west of Asheville area and they a hardcore MAGAites to the point of them endorsing P2025 to my face at a big class reunion about a year and a half ago. I saw one of them a about 3 months ago and he was still going on about getting all the illegals out of here. I understand his parents came here to get away from Castro but they want to pull up the ladder behind them. The Hmong are the same. I live in a big Hong area now and fuck me they are fucking rabidly conservatives Trump voters.
25% is on the low end of the Hopeless Dipshit Constant™, i.e. 25 to 33%.
Ugh, this is like the whole tipping thing. Used to be that it was 10%, now it’s 25-33%?
There has always been a big undertow of awful anti-intellectualism/conservatism in this country. Only twenty-five percent is probably being optimist.
conservatives as a whole still support him. are they all maga, republican hispanics?
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.
Bro Spanish language radio in South Florida is absolutely wild with the propaganda. I wasn’t in the least bit surprised when I saw the polling numbers.
Is that aimed primarily at Cubans? What is an example of some of the propaganda?
Not just Cubans, but the Hispanic culture by and large in South Florida is that of machismo. So having any amount of empathy is seen largely as a weakness. And I wasn’t a regular consumer of the Spanish radio but every time i was scanning stations I would inevitably come across an Español tucker Carlson, or sometimes tucker himself. Talking about how we need to close the “open border”, and Democrats want to turn everyone gay. You know the typical red meat for chuds.
Democrats want to turn everyone gay
🤣
I don’t even know how that would work in practice if Democrats (or someone else) even wanted that to happen, which they don’t.

25% of Hispanics still approve of Trump? Holy hell, I thought 2020 showed us how stupid humans can be, but this is on a whole other level!
Anyone who votes for Trump who is not a millionaire is an idiot, but anyone who is not a white male really is fucking stupid.
Millionaire isn’t even enough to benefit from the grift! Basically middle class.
You have to have tens of millions to have come out on top here…
So many dumb people.
Americans are on a whole new level
Some of my cousins are incredibly stupid people who watch Fox News all day.
27% of people still haven’t realised they’re next.
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.
No shit Sherlock. The death camps tend to upset people who get targeted by the secret police.
The question is why the broad community didn’t see this coming, to such a large degree.
Anecdotal from the Mexicans I know that voted for him, I think a lot of people convinced themselves that he was only going to go after the “illegal” by THEIR definition Hispanics; Guatemalans and Venezuelans that are bad at “working hard” and it was going to free up resources for their hard working, attempting access via legal means, family members to enter. I tried to explain why this wouldn’t be the case but it fell upon too many deaf ears. Your anecdotal evidence might vary from mine though!
My sister in law worked among a lot of Latinos for various jobs, and one of the first culture shock moments was when she realized how many slurs were casually thrown around, between the various groups, depending on who was a first-wave immigrant, and where they came from, etc.
She speaks Spanish fairly fluently, and knows a bit of Portuguese, but looks like a typical suburban white lady, so many things were said within earshot when she was first on the job, LOL.
So what you are saying seems like something that definitely tracks. People probably just thought that “other group” is going to be targeted, but not us, we’re from the right country, we voted Republican, or we’ve been here first, etc…when the truth of the matter is that someone like Stephen Miller just sees brown people speaking a foreign language, in “his” country, and wants them ALL gone. Even the citizens.

Man … what could have happened? Certainly not the exact thing that he said he would do. No, can’t be that.
It’s F’d up propaganda, and some cultural differences, that led these communities to vote the way they did.
- Some Latin cultures want leaders that talk tough, the “machismo” to crack skulls and “get things done.”
- Some are very religious, and were taken in by the Right’s monopoly on religious propaganda and “morality.”
- 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”.
- 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.
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.
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.
Nope. Don’t care. Don’t give chicken fried fuck. They were warned but still voted to condemn everyone else because thought they were the “good ones.”
Have the life you fucking voted for
reminds me of that jon stewart daily show segment where he showed a group of latinos who are leaning republican trump’s clips of talking shit about them, and when asked if they will still vote for him, they said yes…
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.
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!!” 😢
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.
It’s lead. I’m sure it’s lead. Decades of lead poisoning from gasoline is the reason.
The one I know definitely has Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam. Then again, he bragged about his war crimes to me as a kid, so we was always a cruel person.
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
if they voted him 3 times, theres no saving them, especially the first time he did some of what he campaigned on.
They are certainly signing up for ICE in record numbers.
When the last brown people not in ICE are deported, I guess ICE will start turning on itself to deport all the non-whites.
