A new poll from the media outlet Axios found that President Joe Biden’s support among the Latino population is eroding while support for former President Donald Trump is rising. The latest Axios-Ipsos poll found that among Latinos, Biden was only leading Trump by nine points (41-32) as opposed to Biden’s first year as president when the margin was a whopping 29 points (53-24). That could prove pivotal in swing states such as Nevada and Arizona. “In almost every case, Trump performs better than the Republican brand and Biden performs worse than the Democratic brand,” Ipsos pollster and senior vice president...

Democrats are all about throwing scraps to their political base. They throw 'abortion' to women voters as if they were all one bloc with solely this concern, and 'amnesty' or open borders to Latinos, as if they were all a single bloc, too. At election time, they come out with their offerings and tick their group boxes -- women, Latinos, what have you. Once they've done that, they dust their hands off, and then go back to lining their cronies' pockets. For Democrats, it's that simple. But what happens if they ... make a mistake? Instead of throwing alfafa at...

Likely Latino voters in Texas prefer Donald Trump over President Joe Biden in an expected rematch this November as the presidential candidates vie for their support, a University of Houston survey released Tuesday found. Trump, who won Texas in 2020 but garnered only 40% of the state’s Latino electorate, has support from 47% of the state’s likely Latino voters compared with Biden’s 41%, according to the UH Hobby School of Public Affairs survey. Latinos planning to vote in the March 5 Republican primary in Texas overwhelmingly support Trump (86%) over fellow GOP challenger Nikki Haley (13%). In the Democratic primary,...

With the latest report from Axios, maybe open borders Republicans such as GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley and former President George W. Bush can dispense with the claim that Hispanic immigrants are, down to a man, “natural conservatives” with “good family values” because so many are pew-warming Catholics. Axios reports that American Hispanics are increasingly embracing the demonic; i.e. practicing witchcraft and returning to their “roots.” News reports during the last few years confirm it, and at least one state, California, encouraged the satanic practice by approving public-school prayers to false Aztec gods. But young “Latinos” aren’t the only demographic...

Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden by two points nationally in a hypothetical head-to-head race and is dominating his opponents in the Republican primary field, according to a national USA Today-Suffolk University poll published Monday. The poll of 1,000 likely voters finds Trump with 39 percent of backing while 37 percent support Biden. His two-point lead falls just within the plus or minus 3.1 percent margin of error. Under this scenario, 17 percent of voters say they would vote for a third-party candidate.

Activists are demanding reparations for land in the Chavez Ravine in Los Angeles that currently sits under Dodger Stadium, part of a broader movement across California that has focused thus far on African Americans. The New York Times reported Wednesday on “the growing call for reparations from descendants of the people who lived where Dodger Stadium was built.” It cited reporting earlier this month by Jesus Jiménez, who wrote:

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a Republican, signed seven executive orders to decrease the size of her state’s government, combat “indoctrination” and critical race theory in schools, and remove the term “Latinx” from government documents. During her inaugural address Tuesday, Sanders pledged to sign an executive order “preventing the political indoctrination of Arkansas’ schoolchildren.” “As long as I am governor,” she said, “our schools will focus on the skills our children need to get ahead in the modern world—not brainwashing our children with a left-wing political agenda.” The governor’s office sent copies of the executive orders to The Daily Signal....

Things will continue to get worse unless there is a total “political elite reversal,” Republican Nevada Senate candidate Adam Laxalt told Breitbart News Saturday mere days ahead of Election Day, where the former state attorney general hopes to defeat Democrat Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV). The direction of Nevada, and the country at whole, is at stake on Election Day, Laxalt claimed, attributing the negative trends — such as the uptick in crime and rampant inflation — to Democrat leadership. “It’s pretty simple. Everything that you’re seeing nationally, with the trends in crime and border and economy, they’re, you know,...

MIAMI — Florida Democrats are fretting over Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ popularity among Latinos, saying they are boosting his chances of becoming the first Republican governor in 20 years to win traditionally blue Miami-Dade County and therefore propelling his chances of a successful presidential run in 2024. Miami-Dade, the state's most populous county, is 70% Hispanic. The last time a Republican governor won Miami-Dade County was Jeb Bush in 2002. Unlike DeSantis, Bush held press conferences in fluent Spanish and his wife is Mexican-born. DeSantis is an “outlier” among Republican governors, said Fernand Amandi, a Democratic consultant and pollster in...

Earlier this week, a poll released by NBC/Telemunmdo indicates that Latinos favor Democrat control of Congress by 54%. One may be tempted to ask, while yawning, what else is new, because for eons, Latinos have been staunch Democrat supporters.What is significant here is not the current level of support, which is substantial at 54%, but the direction of the trend. Similar polls have previously shown the Democrat preference at 67% in 2016 and 59% in 2020. That is a drop of 13 percentage points in four years, which is significant enough to cause concern among Democrat leaders.Whenever discussing the actions...

Predicting he will lose his bid to unseat Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D) blamed President Biden. "I'm losing the Latino vote because the President didn't spend a dime or a day in the Rio Grande Valley or really anywhere in Texas," Beto complained. "You got to be locking eyeballs with the people that you want to fight for and dishing out loot to those whose votes you want to win." O'Rourke contrasted "Biden's lame focus on abortion, climate, and Ukraine with the Republicans' more appealing offer of jobs, low crime, and low taxes. Latinos are...

Latino voters in 2020 moved to the right. The 2022 midterms could be a test for Democrats. Republicans are slowly winning over Latino voters. Democrats may not have learned from their 2020 mistakes.

PHOENIX (AP) — … After experiencing global warming’s firsthand effects, U.S. Latinos are leading the way in activism around climate change, often drawing on traditions from their ancestral homelands. “There has been a real national uprising in Latino activism in environmentalism in recent years,” said Juan Roberto Madrid, an environmental science and public health specialist based in Colorado for the national nonprofit GreenLatinos. “Climate change may be impacting everyone, but it is impacting Latinos more.” U.S. Latinos often live in ignored, lower income neighborhoods that are degrees hotter than nearby areas because they have a higher population density and limited...

Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R.) is taking out a Spanish-language radio ad to warn voters about a George Soros-backed company's purchase of Hispanic radio stations in Miami in order to "infiltrate" the state with leftist ideology. "Warning, voters! The Left is taking control of our local media," reads an English translation of the DeSantis campaign's ad, which will run on stations set to be acquired by a conglomerate financed by the left-wing billionaire. "George Soros, known for financing extreme leftist causes, is now financing the purchase of Hispanic radio stations right here in Miami." The Latino Media Network, backed by...
