President Biden’s popularity has plummeted so precipitously in New York that he trails former President Donald Trump among Latino voters amid the relentless migrant crisis, though the Empire State would still vote blue in a showdown between the two in 2024, according to a report. new survey.
Trump leads Biden between 42% and 39% among Hispanic voters and the rest are undecided, according to the Siena College survey published on Monday.
In November, the incumbent Democrat led his predecessor by 27 points in the traditionally left-wing demographic.
“I think it’s very worrying. [for Biden]”said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg. “It fits with what we’re seeing nationally.”
Biden, 81, beat Trump, 77, by 23 percentage points in New York in 2020. This time, however, the president leads Trump by just nine points, 46% to 37%, following Biden behind the 45th president in another battleground. state.
When independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West are included, Biden and Trump’s vote share drops to 41% and 32%, respectively.

Biden has also lost support among black voters in New York, who supported him with more than 90% in November 2020.
Now, however, the Siena poll shows that Biden leads Trump by only 30 percentage points (54% to 24%) among blacks, below the 51-point difference (64% to 13%) that the poll showed. in November.
The president has a favorability rating of just 43% among New Yorkers, the lowest measured by the Siena poll, with 53% having an unfavorable opinion of the commander in chief. Biden’s job approval rating of 44% is also a new low for the poll, with 56% disapproving.
“As has happened in recent national polls, Biden has lost considerable support among the key constituencies that propelled him to victory four years ago,” Greenberg said.
“While the decline in Biden’s poll numbers has not been dramatic month over month, it is dramatic when looking at the last year,” he added. “A year ago, Biden’s net favorability rating was +2, today it is 10 points lower, and her net approval rating fell from +4 to -12, a net drop of 16 points.”

The border crisis remains a festering issue and New York voters are unhappy with the way top Democratic elected officials are handling it, with most of their anger reserved for the man in the Oval Office.
The Siena poll found that 85% of respondents said the immigrant issue is a serious problem, and 61% rated it very serious.
Biden, Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams are overwhelmed with voters for their handling of the issue: Two-thirds disapprove of Biden’s response, while only 28% approve.
Hochul and Adams fare a little better: 59% disapprove of the governor’s handling of the crisis (33% approve) and 54% dislike Hizzoner’s response (28% approve).
Notably, 89% of Latino New Yorkers rated the immigration crisis as a serious problem, the highest share of any racial or ethnic group, and 65% said it is very serious.
In other notable findings, more New York voters disapproved (45%) than approved (43%) of providing more economic and military aid to Israel as the Jewish state’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip enters its fourth month.
Half of New Yorkers support increased aid to Ukraine, but the margin in favor of that policy is smaller (10 percentage points) than in November (16 percentage points).
“Democrats support greater military and economic aid to Ukraine better than two to one; however, Republicans are opposed by a similar margin and independents are narrowly divided,” Greenberg said. “When it comes to Israel, the partisan divide disappears. Democrats are narrowly opposed, 47-43%, as are independents, 43-38%, while Republicans barely support Israeli aid, 46-44%.
“White voters support Israeli aid by 10 points and Ukrainian aid by 20 points, while black and Latino voters oppose both,” Greenberg added. “Younger voters also oppose aid to both countries, while older voters strongly support aid to both countries.”
The Siena College poll surveyed 807 registered New York voters from January 14-17. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.
