Trump Poll Results Affect Democrats

President Donald Trump made unprecedented gains among Hispanic and other minority voters in the 2024 presidential race, disrupting long-held expectations about demographic loyalty. Knewz.com has learned that according to a new Pew Research Center poll, Trump captured 48% of the Hispanic vote, an increase from the 28% he received in earlier elections, while Vice President Kamala Harris finished slightly ahead with 51%, a sharp decline from the support previous Democratic candidates like former Presidents Joe Biden and Bill Clinton enjoyed.

Trump’s Gains Extend Beyond the Latino Electorate

According to reports, Trump’s gains extended beyond the Latino electorate, as he also improved his standing among Black and Asian voters, signaling a broad political shift with possible major implications for future elections. Notably, Trump’s 2024 support from Hispanic voters represents one of the most dramatic demographic shifts in recent times. In contrast to Joe Biden’s roughly two-thirds share of the Hispanic vote in 2020 and Bill Clinton’s similar numbers before him, Trump effectively closed the gap this time by securing 50% of Hispanic men and significantly narrowing the margin among Hispanic women, 52% of whom voted for Harris.

Poll Results Are a ‘Wake-Up’ Call for Democrats

The results of the poll challenged the idea that Harris’ performance in the 2024 presidential election suffered only from low Democratic turnout. Instead, data indicates a broader decline in Democratic support among minority voters. According to TriStrategies Democratic political consultant Sisto Abeyta, “This is no longer a wake-up call for Democrats. This is a … get-your-act-together call.” Reports have shown that Harris’ performance was hampered not only by turnout but also by voters actively switching sides. Pew data shows a 7% jump in support for Trump among Black voters and a 10% increase among Asian voters compared to previous elections, highlighting a widespread erosion of traditional Democratic support. Republican strategist Mike Madrid commented on this, saying, “Democrats don’t have a turnout problem. They have a policy problem.”

Young Men are Rejecting Democrats, Survey Shows

According to a previous Knewz.com report, a national survey conducted by the Speaking with American Men (SAM) project found that only 27% of young men viewed the Democratic Party favorably, while 43% favored the Republican Party. A Latino man from Las Vegas pointed out that, during her 2024 campaign, Harris focused more on, “Oh, I got Beyonce on stage with me. Oh, I got Lady Gaga on stage,” which felt like it has no relevance to the problems voters face. “It just kind of felt like, what does that have to do with me? I’m trying to move up in life,” the man said. “Trump’s over here like, ‘If we’re able to get a surplus in our budget, then we’re going to have no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.’ It’s going to take a while to get to that point, but at least he’s saying … ‘Oh, this is what I’m going to do,’” he added.

Midterms Expected to Test Trump’s Impact on Latino Voters

The upcoming midterm elections are expected to test President Trump’s impact on Latino voters. Conversely, it will also show if Democrats can win back lost ground, especially in the wake of Trump-ordered aggressive immigration enforcement actions all over the United States. As Trump’s plans of carrying out the largest mass deportation in U.S. history inch closer to reality, there is a chance the Latino and minority voter base might pivot their support away from the president in the upcoming midterms.
