Research shows 70% disapprove of job US president – who won backing of nearly half of Latino voters in 2024 – is doing

A majority of Latinos disapprove of Donald Trump and his economic and immigration policies, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center.

After receiving support from nearly half of Latino voters in the 2024 election, Trump had lost the backing of a majority surveyed in October. Pew found that 70% of Latinos “disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president”, while 65% disapprove of his administration’s approach to immigration and 61% believe his economic policies have worsened economic conditions.

Trump won 48% of the Latino vote in 2024, up from 28% in 2016. Latinos, one of the fastest-growing demographics in the United States, account for one in five Americans.

    81% of those who voted for Trump approve of the president’s job

    also

    After the 2024 election, Latinos, particularly Latino men, credited Trump’s economic proposals and immigration policies – suggesting he was not serious about threats of mass deportations – for winning their vote.

    At the time, two-thirds of Latinos said they “do not feel like he is talking about me” when Trump discussed his immigration policies

    How ignorant do you have to be to have seen Trump’s first term, then heard the rhetoric of him running again twice, and thought “yes his racism is against people like me, but surely he’ll know I’m one of the good ones”?

    And 81% of those people still believe that after everything that’s happened so far!

    They voted for him.

    Sure, he will ban abortions which makes the hispanic Catholics happy … but then he sends out ICE to deport them.

      Yeah, my thoughts on this are “well they still overwhelmingly voted for him. And they’ll overwhelmingly vote for whoever the next republican is once Trump croaks.” Trump wasn’t keeping his ICE plans secret. He was saying it with his whole chest, and conservative talking heads were screaming it from the rooftops. If they didn’t get the hint, it’s their own fucking fault.

        Immigrants have this strange habit of immediately shitting on other immigrants, this is universal.

        Trump support is just about getting rid of any current or future competition. I got my citizenship, fuck you.

    I’m sorry, but… I don’t care who you are, but if you were alive/in the USA for Trump’s first term, and you voted for him in 2024, you are vulnerable mentally and seriously need to be made aware of that.

      • If you voted for trump in 2016, you made a stupid mistake.
      • If you voted for trump in 2020, you are a stupid person.
      • If you voted for trump in 2024, you are a fascist asshole.

    Majority of Latino voters disapproved him during 2024 election.

    It was just that he did get more Latino voters than expected.

    100% of people who answer the phone from random strangers and have 30 minutes to spare doing a survey for free are completely normal and representative of average people.

    Majority of voters apparently couldn’t be arsed to stop a pedophile rapist with a shitty presidential track record from taking the presidency. Again.

    Majority of voters absolutely deserve the shitstorm they are in.

    If they had been smart enough to disapprove of him because of his obvious racism, the US probably would not be in this mess.

    Majority of Latino voters disapprove of Trump

    At this point it’s a hypothetical (and maybe always was), but if Trump legally won another election I’d recommend euthanasia for large parts of the US population.

    …and they couldn’t see this BEFORE the election?.. I thank you for the late offensive, but the game is completely different because of this.
