Biden is getting a big bounce with Hispanics

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Hispanic voters were one of President Joe Biden's biggest weaknesses in the 2020 election. Although sources differ on his exact margin, Biden's advantage with Hispanics was the worst for a Democratic presidential nominee since 2004 -- even as he had the strongest performance overall for a Democrat since 2008.

A look at recent history and polling reveals, however, that Biden may be primed for a comeback among Hispanics for a simple reason: He's now the incumbent.

Take a look at Gallup polling during the Biden presidency. Aggregating all the polls it has conducted so far (in order to get a large sample size), Biden's approval rating with Hispanics stands at 72% compared to a 55% overall approval rating.

That 72% is a clear improvement from how Biden did in the election with Hispanics. Biden won 65% of Hispanics, according to the network exit polls. An estimate from the Democratic firm Catalist (which lines up well with what we saw in pre-election polls) had Biden taking 61% of Hispanics. So this Gallup data suggests Biden's support may be up anywhere from 7 to 11 points from the election.

1. I'm guessing none of the 'Hispanics For Trump' had their children ripped away from them

and put into cages...

Glad to see that needle moving away from Trump.

2. Good

Hopefully the numbers in Florida will get stronger....the Trump campaign made it seem like Biden was Fidel Castro...but now that he is president they realize he isn’t

3. Hopefully, this influences the 22 mid-terms...

losing our slim majorities would be a disaster, TBS. Dems need Hispanic support going forward.

4. I know this sounds crazy, but maybe doing things to help people is actually good politics???

5. Hispanics support incumbents at a higher rate than challengers.

Bush did better with Hispanics in 2004 than 2000. Obama did better in 2012 than 2008 and Trump better in 2020 than 2016. I can't explain why except that an incumbent is a known quantity and that helps. It's also why I expect Biden to do better in 2024 if he runs.

6. Ok, first of all, this is easy to understand.

To begin with a lot of the electorate did not get to find out who Biden was as a politician or as a person. Why, because Biden was listening to the health specialists and doing whatever he could to keep people safe by having drive in rallies instead of craming people in for indoor rallies like the other idiot.

Now that he is president and he getting the pandemic under control he is able to show the whole world the kind of man he is and people are responding to him.

It is that simple.
