The current president of the United States, Joe Biden, will not have an easy time getting re-election in these elections, since everything indicates that he has lost the vote of the sector that would be most inclined to support him: Hispanic immigrants.
Despite the multiple facilities that the Democratic Party has implemented in the country for the legal entry of immigrants, and the clearly anti-immigrant rhetoric used by the Republican Partyapparently the Hispanic community prefers the latter.
A survey conducted by the newspaper The New York Times and Siena College, voters in general, and especially Hispanics, prefer either of the two possible Republican candidates, either Donald Trump or Nikki Haley, over the Democratic president.
Just eight months before the 2024 election day begins, support for Biden reaches 43%, falling behind when compared to Trump (48%). The surprise came from the fact that the president has a worse scenario if he faces Haley, who surpasses him in the polls by 45% to 35%.
When questioning voters identified as Hispanic, one of the most important minorities in elections and which is usually decisive for the final count, the situation did not improve for the veteran Democrat. In that sector, Trump leads him by 6% and Haley by 12%.
Only 23% of Democratic primary voters are enthusiastic about Biden, in contrast to half of Republicans who back Trump. However, both Trump and Biden face low popularity ratings, at 44% and 38% respectively.
Another surprising and worrying finding for Democrats is the erosion of their historic advantage among workers of color and without college education, a segment that had always remained loyal to the Democratic caucus and that gave Biden a significant margin in 2020.
Currently, his leadership among these voters is barely noticeable, marking a trend that could decisively influence the electoral result, and which suggests that the Republican Party could return to the White House.
The truth is that Biden’s mandate began facing the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic, after the policy of zero measures and no vaccination promoted by Donald Trump when he was still president.
But beyond this, there is the fact that the octogenarian would begin his second term at 82 years old, an age at which he would not be allowed in any other job, and in the midst of scandals due to his multiple episodes of confusion and motor difficulty that also They question his ability to carry out the position.
