Paul Bedard : Shock poll: Hispanic support for Trump increases 55% since election
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 05/03/2017 1:41:43 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

In its latest survey, Zogby Analytics said that Hispanic support has hit 45 percent, two points higher than the president's generic approval.

That is 55 percent higher than the total Latino vote for Trump in the election. He won just 29 percent.

"The biggest surprise in this new poll is Trump's approval among Hispanic voters, which is at 45 percent approval/51 percent disapproval. In February the numbers were less among Hispanics at 39 percent approval/53 percent disapproval," said Zogby.

Hispanics feel better about Trump now that they know there isn’t going to be wall....But they will still vote for the Democrat in 2020.

I can certainly believe that; there is nothing “macho” about begging...

In my area many simply work for their money; I believe it is culturally unacceptable (especially for able-bodied people) to ask for handouts.

While the impact of open borders can easily be seen on urban blacks (who aren’t even offered crappy jobs anymore), legal Hispanics have a lot to lose as well - their competition for their jobs is being trafficked here and being pitched to them as a good thing.

They seem to learn quickly, and have been a lot less reliable for Dem politicians than blacks.

Everyone but the idealogues on both sides are seeing Trump acting as a non-politician. He is definitely in charge. How refreshing it is to see the country run as a business rather than the political spoils fifedom it was since the end of the Reagan years.

Now we have to drain the swamp of all the professional politicians who are only interested in reelection and power grabbing rather than service to their constituents.

GOPe = Still Tone Deaf Even After Americans ROARED!

It’s kinda FUN watching the Elites in BOTH party destroy themselves. I’m so ready to get back to Constitutional basics. :)

Many many Hispanics are small business entrepreneurs. The reduction of taxes on them is about to go from 39% to 15%.

That will be very popular with those who have lawn Care, pool cleaning and food service businesses etc.

White conservatives are convinced the key to getting the minority vote is never talking about how some cultures are more successful than others. This is actually the key to losing the minority vote. Human nature prefers a bad answer to no answer. Trump’s in-your-face conservatism is actually the only chance republicans have with minorities.

Agreed. As more Hispanics move into the trades— plumbing, HVAC, electrical, etc.— particularly in right to work states, their self employment will begin to meld with their strong sense of family. My plumber’s a Puerto Rican kid from the Bronx who freely admits his (now) wife got him through high school. She runs the bookkeeping while he does the front end. They worry about their kids quality of education. That’s had more influence on their politics than the immigration debate.

Probably figured out that there are fewer deportations under Trump than under Obama.

If this holds and is replicated in other polls, pass the popcorn for a major, major, major liberal meltdown.

That's right.Hispanics who are here legally know that it stinks to high heaven to have 30 million Mexicans here illegally...taking their jobs and driving down wages,among other things.

Not to mention that everyone sees Hispanic and thinks *illegal*.

You never see Hispanic panhandlers, at least I don’t. Always black or white. The Hispanics hang out at the Home Depot and look for work.

This is great news if accurate. I suspect at least part of the gain is really just hidden Trump voters finally admitting their support. I really think that minorities in particular, but really all Trump supporters, were less likely to tell the truth to pollsters because of the media’s negative attitude toward Trump and his voters.

Unfortunately, approval ratings don’t always translate into votes, but I do think he’ll do better than during the last election with Hispanics. Knowing that those scaring you with Hitler analogies and images of cattle cars to the border were lying is enough for anyone’s attitude toward Trump to improve.

Trump needs to publicize this so we can BUILD THAT WALL! Liberal Islam-sympathizing faggot Zogby (who conducted this poll) is probably shooting himself for releasing this.

So true, and many more are moving into the area here (they are the NYC metro area’s “replacement white-collar Americans”). No panhandling there...
