Hispanic Support for Trump Has Jumped Since Election
This is an element of ���identity politics��� about which you���ll likely hear nothing mentioned by the mainstream media.
Guess whose popularity is growing substantially among Hispanics?
Donald Trump���s, that���s whose.
According to the Washington Examiner, the results of a recent Zogby Analytics survey reveal that President Trump now enjoys a 45 percent support level among Hispanics. Notably, this is two points higher than Trump���s overall approval number, at present.
What makes this figure particularly stunning is the amount of support received by Trump from Hispanics when he won the election. Back then, Trump became president with just 29 percent of the Latino vote.
Even more interesting is that Trump���s increasing popularity among Hispanics is coming at precisely the same time he appears to be losing ground from within the broad electorate. The latest Zogby survey on that subject saw his overall approval drop from 48 percent to just 43 percent.
Although it remains unknown as to why Trump���s popularity has managed to surge among Hispanics over the last few months, it has long been seen by many as a canard that American Hispanics have such ���solidarity��� with Hispanics, in general, that they���re willing to entirely overlook the deleterious consequences of poorly-controlled borders, including higher crime and ultra-cheap labor.
In other words, it likely turns out that American Hispanics appreciate, as much as anyone, a safer, more economically sound country.
