A Crucial Voting Bloc Is Abandoning The Trump-Vance Ticket: New Polling Data

For years, failed former president Donald Trump and the Republican Party have tried to make inroads with one of the fastest-growing voting blocs in the country: Hispanics.

But it appears that outreach was all for naught, according to new polling data.

On Wednesday’s edition of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Jonathan Lemire asked former Biden administration press secretary Jen Psaki about the polls.

“It’s not like Trump’s numbers are really going down per se. At least not much,” Lemire noted. “It’s more Harris’ growing support. It seems like Democrats that, for whatever reason, had really cooled on President Biden are now coming home because they’re excited about Kamala.”

“That’s exactly right, and remember just over a month ago, there was a larger number of double haters as we called them, people who weren’t thrilled about either candidate,” Psaki explained. “There was a large percentage of undecided voters that kind of wavered from poll to poll, and this all is a reflection of Democrats coming home, or Democratic-leaning voters coming home, which is a very good sign for the Biden (sic) and Walz campaign, exactly what you want coming out of the convention.”

“One of the most interesting numbers, certainly 18 to 34-year-olds, but the Hispanic number, Latinos is super interesting because this is a group that Trump and the Trump team has really done a ton of outreach to, and it is a group that you have seen some trends in certain states that has been leaning sometimes more Republican than they have been historically Democratic,” she added.

The segment concluded with Psaki remarking, “So this is a very good sign for them. What this means too, and you see this in state polls which are much more interesting to me than national polls, is that some of the states that seem to be off of the competition lane for the Democratic ticket like Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, are back in competition, and that’s a very good sign for the Harris-Walz team because they have more maps to get to 270, and it’s not just the Blue Wall, even though the Blue Wall will still be pivotal.”

Women, the single-largest voting bloc in the country, are now registering to vote in record numbers, as are young people. Harris will likely win the black vote by a mile and is also looking good among Asian voters. If the Hispanic vote also breaks for Harris, Trump will be left with little more than angry white men who wouldn’t vote for a black woman in a million years.

Could a popular and electoral vote be in the offing for Democrats in November? That’s very possible, but only if we all get out and cast a ballot against Trump and his extreme right-wing agenda.
