With increasing Latino support of President Donald Trump, Hispanic voters are proving to be a key voting bloc in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. A new poll from the Washington Post and Univision News, which surveyed 1,000 Hispanic voters nationwide, reveals that Trump is gaining significant ground among Latino voters.
The poll showed that Trump’s approval rating among Hispanic voters is at 39 percent, an increase of 7 points since the spring. The poll also revealed that nearly half of Hispanic voters now have a favorable view of Trump, which suggests that Trump is making gains among Latino voters.
This increase in support for Trump comes at a time when the president has taken a hard line on immigration, including his call to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Despite this, the poll shows that Hispanic voters are actually more supportive of Trump’s immigration policies than the general public, with 52 percent of Latinos surveyed saying that they support the president’s immigration policies.
The poll also showed that Trump is succeeding in building support among young Hispanic voters, with 44 percent of respondents between the ages of 18-34 holding a favorable view of the president. This is compared to just 35 percent of Hispanics over the age of 35 who view Trump favorably.
The poll’s findings suggest that Trump’s aggressive stance on immigration is resonating with Hispanic voters. Trump’s increased popularity among this key voting bloc could play a critical role in the 2020 election, when Latino turnout is expected to be at record levels.
It remains to be seen if Trump’s momentum among Hispanic voters will be enough to propel him to victory in the 2020 election. But if the Washington Post and Univision poll is any indication, Trump is gaining ground among Latino voters and may have an easier path to victory in November.
