Black Americans and Latinos feel alienated in Trump's America: poll

A recent PRRI poll reveals growing alienation and pessimism among Black and Latino Americans regarding the nation's direction. These communities express heightened dissatisfaction with the U.S. under the current administration, driven by concerns about economic conditions and immigration. A majority of Black and Latino respondents feel like strangers in their own country, a record high in the survey's history. These groups overwhelmingly disapprove of the administration's handling of immigration and deportations. The poll reveals that Black Americans prioritize healthcare, racial equality, and democracy, while Latinos focus on immigration, jobs, and economic stability. White Americans hold significantly more favorable views of the president compared to Black and Latino respondents. The administration's actions, including civil rights reinterpretations and purging of historical narratives, contribute to these feelings. The poll was conducted during a period of heightened social and political tension and before subsequent reports of concerning GOP communications. Advocates like María Teresa Kumar and Rev. Jamal Bryant are organizing to address and combat this disillusionment. The survey's methodology involved a large, representative sample of American adults. The data highlights a critical moment for the nation, emphasizing the need for change and the importance of voter engagement.
