Among Latinos, 70% believe that the worst of the coronavirus and its problems are still to come, Pew research finds. - NBCLatino
Latinos' view of the economy could be instrumental to how they vote in the 2020 presidential election. A record low unemployment rate for Latinos had been a key talking point for President Donald Trump and the GOP in its effort to boost Latino support. But Biden and Democrats have seized on the double-digit unemployment to slam Trump's record with Latinos and his handling of the pandemic.
For these reasons, Latinos are more likely to support proposals for economic aid amid the coronavirus pandemic, Pew found. About three-quarters of Latinos, 78 percent, say Congress needs to pass another economic relief bill in addition to the $2 trillion economic assistance package approved by Congress in March and signed by Trump.
Congress is negotiating large differences in the Democrat and Republican proposals for a new assistance package.
