An exit poll from Edison Research shows an increase in support for Donald Trump among Hispanic voters, rising 14 percentage points from 2020 to 46%.
This level of support is one of the highest for a Republican among Hispanics in decades, even surpassing the 44% achieved by George W. Bush in 2004.
In addition, Trump’s support increased among young voters (ages 18 to 29) by 7 points.
In Pennsylvania, where Hispanic voters make up about 5% of the electorate, Trump received 42% of the Hispanic vote, compared to the 27% he got in 2020 against Joe Biden.
While the numbers could change as more votes are counted, this poll reflects a trend that is consistent with the BBC’s analysis of Hispanic disaffection with the Democratic Party.
In the “Hispanic Belt” of Pennsylvania, an industrial corridor that leans Republican in recent elections, voters like Samuel Negrón, sheriff of Allentown and member of the Puerto Rican community, attribute this change to the economic and social conditions of the four. last year.

In Osceola County, Florida, with 57% of the Hispanic population, mainly Puerto Rican, Trump also won by more than 2,500 votes, eliminating doubts about how this community will react to the bad jokes made by comedians the day before the election in the campaign. event in New York. This demonstrates two things: first, Hispanics do not believe lies from the media, and second, they are not a monolithic group and do not include Democrats.
