Republicans say President Trump’s decision to make Hispanic voters a priority is boosting his support with this critical bloc in public opinion polls and threatening Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s prospects in key battleground states.
Trump received 28% of the Hispanic vote four years ago. But a fresh national poll from Quinnipiac University pegged the president’s support with this demographic at 36% — despite trailing Biden by 10 percentage points overall, progress reflected in other surveys conducted over the summer. In swing states that will determine the outcome of the presidential race, that level of Hispanic support could push Trump over the top in a close race.
Republicans credit Trump’s management of the economy, at least before the advent of the coronavirus, for his improving performance with Hispanics. But more significant, they say, has been the Trump campaign’s sustained presence in Hispanic communities and outreach to Hispanic voters since the end of the president’s first campaign at the same time that Democratic insiders have expressed concern that the Biden campaign has not targeted this segment of the electorate as aggressively as it should.

“Joe Biden struggled to connect with Latino voters throughout the Democratic primary, and despite being in office for nearly 50 years, he has no record of achievement to point to when it comes to helping Hispanic communities,” spokeswoman Ali Pardo said. ....
Some Democratic operatives acknowledge the disparity but express confidence that by the time all the votes are tallied in November, Biden’s Hispanic support will be in the range of what Obama and Clinton achieved. ....

Hispanics do not like black americans. period.
I think that’s only part of it.
Many of the Hispanics know what life is like under socialism and what would happen here if the dems took control of the federal government.
We will find out, presently, if these theoretical minority votes outweigh all the white votes Trump is giving up.
“which is what’s been needed for so many years I can’t count“
Why do you think that’s been needed?
a real outreach to those communities
most R campaign speeches and events and rallies seem to have been in other communities and it can even look like the R campaigners don’t want support or votes from them
just saying this has been noticed by many, I do not claim it has been universal! it just seems to happen often enough to be quite noticable is all, ergo my little comment
there are lots of potential voters that could be attracted if the campaigns (at least, some campaigns pre-DJT’s) reached out better for them
