Latino Economy

According to a new Pew Research Center poll, 61% of Latinos say President Trump has made the U.S. economy worse and majorities disapprove of him and his policies—including about four-in-five who say his policies harm Hispanics. The poll and reporting from Axios and NPR also found widespread financial insecurity (roughly half say they struggled to afford food, housing or medical care in the past year and 36% borrowed money), even as government data show Hispanic median household income rose and poverty fell; 63% rate their personal finances fair/poor but half expect improvement next year.
