Hispanic voters — crucial to Trump’s 2024 victory — are abandoning him in significant numbers.
Sure, the Hispanic flight from the Trump camp is slower among Cuban Americans and Venezuelan Americans in Florida, but the cracks are already visible.
In New Jersey, Trump won 46% of the Latino vote in 2024. But this time, Trump-backed Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli got only 31% of the Hispanic vote in the Nov. 4 election, CNN exit polls show. The Democratic winner, Mikie Sherrill, won by a landslide, thanks in part to the Latino vote.
In heavily Hispanic Passaic County, where Trump won by 3 points in 2024, Sherrill pulled ahead by a jaw-dropping 15 points. A Latino shift is also likely to have helped Democrat Abigail Spanberger clinch Virginia’s governorship.
And in New York’s mayoral race and California’s Proposition 50 vote on redistricting, Latino voters turned out in record numbers.
“I don’t think it was good for Republicans,” an unusually contrite Trump admitted a day after the vote. Trump argued that the Republicans lost because his “name wasn’t on the ballot,” and the government shutdown had hurt his party’s candidates.
But two massive polls of Latino voters released shortly before elections show exactly the opposite: They indicate that large numbers of Hispanics are turning their backs on the Republicans precisely because of Trump.
Trump’s approval rating among Latinos nationwide has plummeted from 44% in January to just 25% today, according to a new AP-NORC poll released Oct. 24.
“It has been brutal,” Eduardo Gamarra, a Florida International University professor and expert on the Latino vote, told me, referring to Trump’s loss of support among Hispanics. “These numbers are very significant.”
Polls show that the economy is the main cause of concern for Hispanic voters.

It is the Miami Herald. Another trash newspaper to not be believed. Next!
When an AP poll is mentioned, it is likely worth it to discount it for the most part. Also, why are they making comparisons with gubernatorial races and Trump?
“In Nevada, economic concerns threaten to wipe away Trump and the GOP’s Latino voter gains”
“The Trump slump is here and happening. The same bad move Biden made with trying to tell people the economy is good — Trump’s doing the same thing.”
“As inflation and tariffs affect business owners and Las Vegas tourism dwindles, a Las Vegas culinary union leader argues that a ‘’Trump slump’’ is alienating Hispanic voters.”

Take Trump’s name off the ballot and Republicans suffer. No surprise here.
So when are election results in New Jersey proof of how people will vote in Florida? Intentionally dumb.
Trump’s not losing American citizen hispanic support.
They must have polled a bunch illegals.
The Miami Herald is widely regarded as having a left-leaning bias, particularly in its editorial pages and opinion sections, where it consistently endorses Democratic candidates and favors progressive policies on issues like climate change, immigration, and social justice.f81a9dc646af Independent media bias evaluators, such as Media Bias/Fact Check, rate it as “Left-Center” with high factual reporting, meaning its straight news coverage is generally objective and sourced from reputable wires like the Associated Press, but editorials often employ emotionally charged language that aligns with liberal viewpoints

Well? or just to throw blackpills?
The media continues its’ anti-Trump ramblings....day after day...week after week....year after year...
"Gimme dat" is not a cultural thing. It is a part of the foibles of man. Made into philosophy like the Frenchies' "Ressentiment."
Comes down to "you got it, and I want it. Gimme!"
The fake news just makes it up.
Stupid FReepers buy it.
Elections were held in deep blue states in 2025...
They thought Trump was going to get crushed by the Hispanic vote last year too.
The opposite happened.
Except by all measurable stats it is.
Where did they get their data?
I guess my across the cul-de-sac Dominican Republic friend
has not heard the word.
Juan was over here today and we talked politics, economics, baseball,
and how much he likes President Trump.
Maybe I should tell him about all of this???
Wow, the media Anti-Trump PsyOp is in overdrive.
You never compare off year turn out to presidential election turn out. This article is garbage.
Wow, the media Anti-Trump PsyOp is in overdrive.
So are the few reamaining FR TDSers!
