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’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.

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.

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.
