President Joe Biden’s popularity among Latino voters is taking a nosedive, and it’s no surprise why! A recent poll released on Tuesday revealed that Biden’s “brand” is his main issue when it comes to winning over Latino voters. That’s right, folks, it’s not his failed policies or lackluster leadership, it’s his brand! According to the Axios-Ipsos poll, Biden’s lead over former President Donald Trump among Latino voters has dwindled from 29% in 2021 to a mere 9% in 2024. I mean, can you blame them?
But wait, there’s more! The poll also found that Latino voters are more inclined to support Democratic positions on most issues. Shocking, right? Well, not really. It seems like even with Biden’s plummeting favorability, Latino voters still lean toward the Democratic party. What’s the saying? Birds of a feather flock together?
However, despite the Democratic advantage, Trump is kicking Biden’s behind when it comes to handling crime and the economy. Trump is enjoying an 11-point lead on crime and a whopping 22-point lead on the economy. Ouch! It looks like Biden’s policies are about as appealing as a week-old PB&J sandwich.
But fear not, dear readers, Democrats are somehow managing to close the gaps on the economy and crime rates, even if Biden isn’t. It’s like they’re trying to plaster over a sinking ship with a smiley face sticker.
Now, let’s talk about immigration. Most Latino voters are on board with the Democrats’ stance on providing a pathway to U.S. citizenship for those in the country illegally. However, there’s a twist! A majority of Latino voters also believe that beefing up border security should be a top priority for the government. It’s like the Democrats are trying to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle on a tightrope!
Oh, and let’s not forget the cherry on top. Over half of the poll respondents are worried that all Latinos, not just those in the country illegally, could be targeted in a mass deportation scenario. I mean, who can blame them with all this chaos at the border?
In the midst of this chaos, Democratic leaders are scratching their heads, wondering why Biden’s policies aren’t resonating with Latino voters. They’re even saying that Biden’s so-called “successes” in job creation are not being effectively communicated to Latino voters. It’s like they’re playing a game of telephone and the message is getting lost in translation.
In conclusion, folks, it looks like Biden’s got a mountain to climb if he wants to win over Latino voters. Time will tell if he can clean up his act before the next election. But hey, at least we can count on those Democrats to keep spinning the narrative, right?
