# Trump's Policies Cause Shift Among Hispanic Voters in Miami-Dade County

A recent poll suggests that Hispanic support for President Trump may be wavering in Florida's Miami-Dade County.

Latinos voted overwhelmingly for President Trump in Florida's Miami-Dade County in the last election, but a recent poll suggests that their support may be wavering.

This shift is evident in Doral, a city in the county with the largest Venezuelan population outside of Venezuela itself. According to local residents, there was initial excitement when Maduro, the country's long-time leader, was captured, and Trump's administration was credited for it.

However, opinions have changed since then, particularly among those who were initially optimistic about the new administration's policies.

As the Trump administration's policies have taken hold, a significant shift has been observed among Hispanic voters in Doral, a stronghold of Venezuelan expatriates. In contrast to previous polls, where 51% of Hispanics favored Democrats and 46% supported Republicans, current trends suggest a growing disillusionment with the Republican Party.

The latest poll reveals that 59% of Hispanic likely voters believe the Trump administration is actively deporting more people than they had anticipated, surpassing the overall figure of 51%. Furthermore, an overwhelming majority of Hispanic respondents, 59%, feel that the focus on deportation has become too intense, compared to 49% of all likely voters. This sentiment is echoed by community leaders who attribute the growing sense of fear among residents.

The increased presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Doral's streets has only added to the anxiety. Community members are reportedly hesitant to venture out of their homes due to the heightened security measures, which has a ripple effect on the entire community.

The heightened security measures have led to a noticeable decrease in community activity, as residents remain indoors out of concern for their safety. This has a significant impact on local businesses, which rely heavily on foot traffic and customer engagement.

Despite being a stronghold for Trump supporters, the Venezuelan community in Doral is increasingly expressing dissatisfaction with his policies. Republican Mayor Christi Fraga's reluctance to publicly endorse Trump has sparked curiosity among voters, who are now questioning her stance on the matter.
