Pres. Joe Biden's Approval Rating Among Hispanics Plunges: 60% Shows Dissatisfaction

U.S. President Joe Biden's approval rating has dipped among Hispanics as the country faces an ongoing border crisis, baby formula shortage, and record-breaking inflation rates.

New York Post reported that only 26 percent of Hispanics approve of the president's performance, while 60 percent expressed dissatisfaction and 13 percent said they did not know or had no opinion, based on the Quinnipiac University survey.

The survey interviewed 1,586 adults, including 132 self-reported Hispanics. The study had a margin error of 8.5 percentage points.

Biden won Hispanic voters by a 2-1 margin over former U.S. President Donald Trump, with the poll result showing a reversal from the fall of 2020.

During the same period last year, Quinnipiac did a similar survey, which found that 55 percent of Hispanic voters approved of Biden while only 29 percent disapproved.

U.S. President Joe Biden's Approval Rating

UMass Amherst released a new poll earlier this week, showing that Biden's approval rating had sunk below 40 percent for the first time, according to an Express News report. Biden's score dropped by 13 percentage points from 51 percent in April 2021.

The poll also identified that Biden's approval ratings among all demographic groups had plummeted.

Tatishe Nteta, associate professor of political science at UMass Amherst, said that the president's decreasing approval rating among his supporters, most notably people of color, must be "ringing alarm bells in the White House."

Nteta added that if the president wants a reelection bid, he will have to gather the support among his base or risk becoming another name on one-term presidents.

The Quinnipiac poll days before the Biden administration is set to end Title 42, a Trump-era COVID-19 rule allowing border officials to quickly deport migrants.

Pres. Joe Biden and the Hispanics

The Biden administration this week eased some restrictive policies on Cuba and Venezuela in an attempt to increase relations with the isolated countries.

The Hill noted that it has drawn bipartisan pushback and may further endanger Democrats' chances of winning over some Hispanic voters in Florida.

Rep. Val Demings said that easing sanctions on Venezuela "only empowers Maduro and his cronies." Demings added that the measure does not support the Venezuelan people clamoring for freedom and democracy.

The Biden administration also announced that it would allow limited flights into Cuban cities other than Havana, as well as reestablish a family reunification program that has gone stagnant.

An NBC News survey also found that abortion is on top of the list of issues that Americans believe are the most important.

It also showed that Democratic interest in the upcoming midterms has increased since earlier this year.

The NBC News poll also found that 39 percent of Americans approve of Biden's job as president as compared to 56 percent who say they disapprove.

The new number showed the lowest mark of Biden's presidency.

However, it found that Democratic interest in the midterms has increased, from 50 percent of Democrats in March to 62 percent now.

The number is compared to Republicans who were at 60 percent high interest two months ago, compared to 69 percent now.
