Summary
Donald Trump’s approval rating among Hispanic Americans has dropped to 34%, tying its lowest point of his second term, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll.
This marks an 11-point drop from last week’s 45% approval. His overall approval stands at 47%, while a CNN poll found 56% of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy.
The decline comes amid concerns over tariffs and a possible recession.
The confusing part of this is that he actually had an approval rating from the Hispanic group.
Hispanics? The race scientists at Newsweek must still be getting their terminology from the 1950s. Whatever it takes to preserve euro-centricism and white supremacy.
What did they think was going to happen when they voted for him?
I swear to god I will point and laugh at any Hispanic person who votes for Trump. And I will laugh harder when their friends and family are getting deported because they very fucking literally asked for it.
Like, seriously, guys, he fucking hates you. He thinks you’re üntermensch. He is actively fucking scapegoating you and people who look like you. How in the ever loving fuck do you get right with that?
My brother in law and his wife are big Trumpsters. He’s a white man but:
- She is hispanic.
- Her mom is mexican.
- He is disabled.
I don’t follow them on Facebook because he was insufferable during the first Trump Presidency and ever since, but from what I hear from my wife he is bitching up an absolute storm while also insisting that Democrats were/are even worse.
The cognitive dissonance is nearing it’s inflection point and I’m just waiting. It hasn’t even been two months and, while this 4 years promises to be even longer than his first term (somehow) I’m not nearly as despondent. I’ve just embraced the fact that we’re all fucked and I’m enjoying watching them eagerly watching that iceberg they’ve steered into our path.
When this is all over, if it’s within my lifetime, I’ll be part of rebuilding the pieces and hopefully they will stay the fuck out of the way this time.
Oh yeah I’m also leaning a LOT harder into schadenfreude and gallows humor this time around.
I have a closet full of popcorn ready for when the SS checks bounce and 2 million boomers charge the rose garden to Gaddafi him.
I mean… I hope you’re right, but I think a lot of these guys (and it is almost all guys) are legit somewhat psychotic and would consider getting to fuck up and abuse “enemies” a form of pay.
You’re not wrong.
But you never, ever, EVER fuck with their real meal ticket.
Anything touches SS/Medicare, it’ll be like a nuke hits the oval office, they’re old, entitled and don’t give a fuck.
And that’s why eel-on-musk got his dipshit interns to install a backdoor to the Treasury Department
34% is still unbelievably high
That’s the power of mass media and especially social media propaganda. People live completely isolated from facts and reality.
I would make a joke like “Wow! I should use mass media to convince people to buy my shitty products, but convince them that they need it. Then overcharge!”
Except the basis of that joke being a joke would rely on the core concept NOT happening for real. Which it is. So that would just make me a part of the problem…
Apparently 34% have yet to be handcuffed on suspicion of being rapist vermin from Mexico.
Most Hispanics aren’t first-generation or 2nd generation immigrants and nor are they a monolithic group. Ted Cruz is Hispanic. Cubans in Florida whose grandpa ran a “night club” under Bautista fled after taking that ass whooping Castro and friends gave them are Hispanic. Even some new immigrants were right wing already and fear “the left” will be Hugo Chavez clones.
Being American (US variety), I know Trump doesn’t make those distinctions and anyone willing to work for ICE will probably harass anyone who isn’t a white male of Northern European descent — though they’re apparently harassing Germans now too — but 34% is about as good as you’re going to get if you lump all the Spanish or Portuguese speaking countries of the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and the several regions of South America together as if they’re one group. People from Argentina and the Dominican Republic are probably voting differently.
On the flip side, Dems will regularly get that much of the vote in really red areas.
2028 Elections: Texas turns blue
Fortunately the governor election is in 26, but that’s living in fantasy land.
I think most people just don’t pay attention. Perhaps when the shitnami hits the fan, people will start to react.
The latinos at my conservative workplace are still fine with things.
If they call themselves “latinos” then it’s no surprise.

That’s surprisingly high still. Maybe he can bump up those numbers by saying he loves Hispanic people while doing a photo op with a taco salad again, because that’s definitely not an incredibly transparent and racist thing to do?
What sitcom is that from? It’s hilarious.
Real life. He was mayor, like 10 years ago. This was an actual thing people were mad at him for.
And as many times as I reconfirm this was real, I still get vibes of this being Micheal Scott as mayor.
I see it now. He might have been the prototype for Michael Scott.
Mayor of which city?
56% of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy.
Pfffft. 44% out there think it’s just fucking dandy!
But I can’t wait for the disapproval rating to drop down to even 20% however long it gets there.
Those people think manufacturing is coming back – if you just give destroying everything enough time
And even when it does, seems likely they’ll just blame Trump and not the whole party that got them here.
I thought the process was called normalization. I think it’s not quite normalized, yet.
Should have started at zero.
Glad Hispanics are seeing the truth.
Just sad not enough.
Doesn’t he have the second lowest approval rating at this point of his presidency?
