Former US President Donald Trump is reportedly making significant gains among Latino voters, eroding the lead previously held by incumbent Joe Biden within this crucial and diverse voting bloc, according to a USA Today and Suffolk University poll.

The survey indicated that Trump now commands 39% support among Latino voters, surpassing Biden's 34%, representing a notable decline from the 65% approval Biden received in 2020.

The data underscored a broader trend of diminishing support for Biden across various key demographic groups, including young voters. The waning support among Latinos raises concerns for Democrats, suggesting potential challenges in maintaining a pivotal segment of the electoral coalition that contributed to Biden's 2020 election victory.

Among voters under 35, Trump is currently leading with 37% support, surpassing Biden's 33%. This marks a significant shift from the 24-point lead Biden had among this demographic in 2020.

Despite Biden experiencing a decline in support from these voter groups, the poll, conducted from December 26 to 29, encompassing 1,000 likely voters, reveals that they are more inclined to support third-party candidates rather than Trump. The survey indicated that 20% of Hispanic and Black voters, along with 21% of younger voters, expressed a preference for someone other than Trump or Biden.

In December, the CNBC All-America Economic Survey unveiled a noteworthy shift in support within the Latino voter community. In a hypothetical one-on-one matchup, Trump enjoys a five-point advantage among Latino voters, overturning Biden's previous seven-point lead observed in October.

Conducted from December 8 to 12, the survey indicated an overall decline in Biden's approval among Latino voters, with his rating falling from 35% in October to 28% in December.

Historical data suggested that Trump tends to fare better with Latino voters during economic challenges. The results of the survey raise concerns for Democrats regarding their influence over this critical demographic.

Trump maintained his lead, despite embracing the same anti-immigrant rhetoric that characterized his presidential campaign in 2016.

The spectacle continues: Biden hits 37% approval rating

US President Joe Biden has been the main topic in terms of favorability and approval among the American populace. 

At the moment of his election, Joe Biden had a 53.1% popularity, which later dropped to the low 40s for the rest of his presidency. However, in July of 2022, a poll recorded a major dip to 38.2% in approval, the lowest Biden's presidency has seen. 

The American Research Group conducted a poll from December 17 to 20, which found that Biden's approval among Americans sunk to 37%, while disapproval soared to 57%. Accumulating all recent polls on the matter, Biden's final approval rate stagnates at 39.3%.

Taking this into context, Biden scored lower than several previous presidents who ran for reelection and lost, including Donald Trump. Even looking at Trump's 1,074th day in office and comparing it to Biden's, Trump scored significantly higher in terms of approval. 

Comparing Bush's score at that point to Biden, the latter lagged by a whopping 12.5%. In Jimmy Carter's case, Biden also fell behind by almost 10%.

This prompts the question of Biden's fate in the reelection, knowing that he has reached a historic low beneath former presidents who were widely disliked.
