Analysis Summary
A new poll of Texas Hispanic business owners shows 72% furious over Trump's deportations, with Democrat James Talarico leading Trump 58% to 28%. One in five reported having employees deported in the past year, and seven in ten said businesses were hit by Trump's tariffs. This represents a dramatic reversal from 2020 when Texas Hispanics swung Republican — the construction sector has been particularly devastated, with over 9,100 arrests in South Texas alone since Trump took office. The fear and economic disruption are driving voters who supported Trump back to Democratic candidates.
