According to recent polls, President Joe Biden is facing a decline in support among young and Hispanic voters, while former President Donald Trump is gaining ground. These shifting numbers are setting the stage for a potential rematch between the two politicians.

Monet Flores-Bacs, the strategic director at the New Mexico-based nonprofit LIBRE Initiative, highlighted the resonance of conservative messaging among Hispanic voters. Flores-Bacs pointed out that Biden's policies have impacted the day-to-day lives of Hispanic communities, especially in terms of rising prices at grocery stores and gas stations. She emphasized that these economic factors are swaying the votes of young Hispanics who are feeling the impact on their bank accounts and are thus more inclined to vote based on their financial concerns.

Supporting this observation, a USA Today/Suffolk University poll from late December revealed that Biden trails Trump by five points among Hispanic likely voters. Additionally, a Univision poll conducted in January 2021 demonstrated a 4% increase in Trump's support among Hispanic voters.

Pedro Rodriguez, a correspondent at Campus Reform, echoed Flores-Bacs' sentiments and highlighted the impact of Biden's policies on Hispanic entrepreneurs. Rodriguez emphasized that under Biden's leadership, financial insecurity is at an all-time high for young Hispanics, and the entrepreneurial spirit is waning. He argued that young Hispanics are gravitating towards a candidate who supports working-class families, aims to reduce inflation, and provides better economic and entrepreneurial opportunities without undermining the American way of life.

Both Flores-Bacs and Rodriguez emphasized the need for immigration reform, an issue that has garnered attention since Biden took office. Rodriguez denounced illegal immigration as a disrespect to those who entered the U.S. legally, while Flores-Bacs stressed the importance of safety alongside immigration reform. She shared that Hispanic voters want opportunities, the right to start businesses, access to quality education, but at the same time, they prioritize safety. Both speakers agreed that immigration reform should be a focus for all candidates in the upcoming 2024 election.

As Biden faces declining poll numbers among young and Hispanic voters, it is evident that economic concerns, entrepreneurship, and immigration reform are pivotal factors driving this shift. Trump's gaining support among Hispanics indicates potential challenges for President Biden in the future. The 2024 elections will truly test the candidates' ability to address the needs and aspirations of these diverse communities.
