Inflation and skyrocketing costs of living are nudging minority voters toward the Republican Party, new polling data shows.
Forty percent of likely Hispanic voters would choose the Republican candidate in a generic ballot, according to a survey from USA Today and Suffolk University. And 21% of Black voters are leaning Republican, the poll found.
Half of all Americans say they are postponing vacations, and 61% say they are eating out less, according to the poll. Those numbers are even higher among Hispanics, 35% of whom voted for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, according to the Fox News Voter Analysis.
Trump carried 8% of the Black vote in 2020, according to the Fox News Voter Analysis.
The Biden administration's inability to bring down inflation has been a key issue pushing traditionally left-leaning demographics rightward.
