Gallup: Obama Approval Plunges Among Hispanics

Monday, 07 Jun 2010 12:08 PM

PRINCETON, NJ – President Obama’s job approval rating among Hispanics has dropped by 20 percent since January, according to a new Gallup poll analysis, suggesting many are angered by his handling of the immigration issue.

Hispanics' approval of President Barack Obama's job performance slipped to 57 percent in May, after falling from 69 percent in January to 64 percent in February. By contrast, whites' and blacks' approval of the president has been steady throughout 2010.

The two major drops in Hispanics' approval of Obama this year -- in February and May -- coincide with the time the president was under fire for not doing enough to promote comprehensive immigration reform in Congress.

"The decline in Obama's approval rating with Hispanics is seen mainly among those interviewed in Spanish: an 11-point drop in the past month and a total of 21 points since January."

Several leading Hispanics and Hispanic groups criticized Obama for not devoting more attention to immigration reform in the speech -- and, more specifically, for not fulfilling his campaign promise of making comprehensive immigration reform a top priority.

As one Hispanic activist wrote at the time, "For those looking for a strong statement in support of comprehensive immigration reform, the speech was a big disappointment." Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez was also publicly critical of Obama after the speech.

And his approval is tanking among citizen voters for backing amnesty. Rock, meet a hard place.

These people were interviewed in Spanish?
Am I the only one insulted by this?
When are these people, illegal and legal, going to get it?
WE SPEAK ENGLISH IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!WE SPEAK ENGLISH IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!

Good! Maybe take some of that smirk off his face.

And I say this in English

I don't know who you polled to be able to state that his poll ratings are remaining the same with African Americans. I don't believe that is an accurate statement in the area Illinois where I live African Americans are "done" with this congress and President another amnesty would complete the genocide against blacks not to mention the unemployment rate which does not include African Americans when the media puts it at 9 or 10% even in good times African Americans experience unemployment higher that that so now due to the downturn in the economy the numbers are egregiously high and feels like the highest unemployment rate in the country
