President Obama’s Approval among Hispanics Drops Six Points since June

Thursday, December 22, 2011

New York, NY – A recent Ipsos-Telemundo Poll indicates that just over half of U.S Hispanic adults (56%) approve the way Barack Obama is handling his job as President while 35 percent disapprove of it. While still a majority, the proportion of Hispanics who approve of how President Obama is handling his job keeps shrinking. An Ipsos-Telemundo Poll released in June 2011, found that Obama’s approval was at 62% at the time, already considerably lower than the 86% who approved back in April of 2009 – when the President marked his first 100 days in office. Overall, the President’s approval rating among Hispanics has dropped 30 points since April, 2009.
