Nearly half of Latin Americans view President Joe Biden favorably in a survey that also hints at one of the challenges facing his re-election campaign.
Yes ok Biden’s 47% approval among the group is higher than the percentage in the United States as a whole, the Ipsos poll also found that Latinos with an unfavorable opinion of the president rose to 44%, up four percentage points from an October poll.
Latinos, a rapidly growing U.S. voting bloc, are a key constituency for both parties in 2024. Polls suggest Democrats have lost some ground to Latin Americans since 2020, though that doesn’t necessarily translate to greater Republican support. , according to the Ipsos survey for Axios with Telemundo.
About 30% of Latinos view former President Donald Trump favorably, while 20% hold that view of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Trump’s closest challenger for the Republican presidential nomination.
Biden has focused initial campaign spending on Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, states he won against Trump in 2020.
The last Democrat to win Florida in a presidential election was Barack Obama in 2012. Republican presidential candidates for 2024 include Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, the first Latino to enter the race.
The number of Latino voters in the United States grew to 34.5 million in 2022, the fastest increase of any racial or ethnic group, according to the Pew Research Center. In 2020, the majority of Hispanic Americans voted for Biden, although the margin was much narrower among those without a college degree, a Pew analysis found.
All candidates may have to deal with an increasingly pessimistic mood among Latinos: 40% said it is “a bad time to be Latino or Hispanic in the US,” compared to 31%. in October, Ipsos reported.
The poll was conducted June 2-9 among 1,116 Latin Americans and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
