The GOP gains among Hispanic voters aren’t fading away after the 2020 election.
A poll by the National Republican Congressional Committee shows the party continuing to cut into the Democratic Party’s share of Hispanic voters. In 2020 exit polls, Democrats won Hispanic voters, 63%-36%. In the NRCC’s survey , Hispanic voters in battleground districts back the Democrats only 44%-37%. That's a huge drop from a margin of 27 percentage points to a 7-point margin. And coming as it does among a demographic group upon which Democrats heavily rely, it could be devastating to their electoral prospects almost everywhere.
The news gets worse for Democrats from there. President Joe Biden is at 46% approval and 46% disapproval among Hispanics in battleground districts. But the "strongly disapprove" numbers are much higher (37%) than the "strongly approve" numbers (23%), a sign of the intensity of the opposition. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris are also underwater in their favorability ratings.
To top it all off, Hispanic battleground voters think Republicans can handle the economy, border security, inflation, and crime better than the Democrats. Most importantly, Republicans lead Democrats when it comes to being the party that is “better able to protect the American Dream, " 41%-35%.
