Latino voters are shifting back to the Democrats ahead of the US midterm elections. The FT's Guy Chazan visited California and New Jersey to speak to voters, politicians and analysts #midterms #Trump #latinoamerica
BREAKING: Trump completely SNAPS at a reporter for daring to ask him about his shockingly low 27% approval rating with Latino voters. This one really got under his skin... "Your approval rating with Latinos has dropped down to 27%—" a reporter began to say. "Oh, I'm doing great. No no! You got my polls, you're fake news!" said Trump. "You're CNN, you're fake news. My poll numbers are great, and all you have to do is look at the crowds we're drawing, and every time I leave, that candidate will be losing, and by the time I leave, they're winning. So, CNN poll numbers are fake, and your whole outfit is fake, and so are you." Back here on Earth, Trump is about as popular as bubonic plague. A new NBC News/Telemundo poll did indeed find that just 27% of Latino voters approve of his performance. Two-thirds believe that his incredibly cruel deportation policies have gone too far and three-quarters disapprove of his handling of the economy and the cost of living. That last point is hardly surprising and crosses over demographic lines. Americans of all backgrounds are struggling to survive the worsening affordability crisis brought on by Trump's pointless Iran War and tariffs. Just two short years ago, Trump enjoyed a 4-point lead over Kamala Harris on the economy amongst Latino voters. Now, Latinos give Democrats a 21-point edge on the issue. 59% want Democrats to take control of Congress, while just 35% hope that Republicans retain control. The Latino vote will likely prove decisive in deciding these midterm elections and Trump's anemic approval could result in Texas finally shifting blue. But rather than confront the problem head-on, the President is doing what he always does, which is screech "fake news" and stick his head in the sand. Good. It makes our job easier. Please ❤️ and share if you're going to be part of the blue wave!
