“He is 38 points underwater!” Enten mentioned, displaying a ballot on how Latinos at present view Trump on the difficulty of immigration.
The knowledge whiz in contrast it to an October 2024 ballot, which confirmed Latino voters gave Harris solely a slight, 2 proportion level edge over Trump on immigration.

“In their mind, he is doing something absolutely wrong when it comes to immigration,” he added.
Trump’s total net-approval ranking amongst Latinos isn’t any higher.

“Donald Trump absolutely impacted what happened downballot.”
