Notable majority feel the country is headed in the wrong direction, and only 27% approve of his job performance

Donald Trump’s standing with Hispanic adults has dropped notably since he took office at the start of the year, according to a new poll.

Polling by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research suggests growing unease among a voting bloc that was crucial to his 2024 re-election victory. The October survey shows that 25% of Hispanic adults now hold a “somewhat” or “very” favorable view of Trump, down sharply from 44% in an AP-NORC poll conducted just before he began his second term.

At the same time, the share of Hispanic respondents who believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction has risen from 63% in March to 73% in October.

I think that's a different question than the point I was trying to make. By all means, educating people as a way to "de-program" and shield them from propaganda is probably the most effective defense, followed by going after the propagandists themselves.

But however you go about trying to fix those systemic issues, it's important to remember that falling for propaganda isn't solely an individual failing. Intelligent and powerful people have been attacking education and unbiased news sources (among other things) for decades, precisely with the goal of making people more susceptible to their propaganda. Maybe they should know better, but a working class person, whose main focus is feeding and housing their family, is at a severe disadvantage in an information war.
