Guess Who Hispanics Favor More Than Biden?

According to a recent national poll, Christopher Columbus is preferred by Hispanics in the United States over Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden.

The national poll, conducted by WPA Intelligence, a conservative polling organization that worked with Visto News on behalf of the Latino advocacy organization Bienvenido, polled 1,086 respondents about the high-profile figures that Hispanic communities supported or opposed in a time when liberal politicians and activists continue to push for the abolition of the 15th-century Italian explorer who embarked on a historic voyage in 1492.

Abraham Enriquez, president of Bienvenido, said that “the popularity of Christopher Columbus among Hispanics and the foolish attempts by progressive activists and politicians to “cancel” him demonstrates how completely out of touch the far left is with our community.”

In recent years, progressives have pushed for the discontinuation of Christopher Columbus, claiming that his voyage to explore Western civilization from the Spanish port of Palos de la Frontera for the benefit of Queen Isabella I and King Ferdinand II constituted a genocide act against the Indigenous people.

“The majority of Hispanics, particularly immigrants, have a positive opinion of Columbus,” according to Enriquez.

While academic establishments, liberal politicians, and anti-American fanatics promote the idea that the Italian explorer set out on an expedition only to rape, plunder, and enslave the West, Hispanic people reject the idea.

Columbus has a net favorability of 29 points, according to a survey conducted earlier this month by the partnering organizations, which found that 53% of Hispanics think favorably of him and 24% think negatively of him. Biden’s favorability rating among Hispanics is 49% for positive and 42% for negative, giving him a net favorability of 7 points.

Harris, on the other hand, received a net favorability rating of four points from Hispanics, making her the least popular candidate between Biden and Columbus. 45% of Hispanics say they have a good opinion of Harris, while 41% have an unfavorable opinion.

According to the survey, opinions of Columbus among Hispanics differed depending on their age and whether they were born abroad or in the United States. According to the survey, elder generations who were born outside of the country are more likely than those who were born here to have a favorable opinion of the explorer.

Among Latinos aged 18 to 39, 45% think favorably of Columbus, while 30% think negatively of him. In the age group of 40 to 59, 54% of people think favorably of him, while 29% do not. However, the study finds that among Hispanics aged 60 and over, 71% think highly of him and only 17% do not.

Conor Maguire, President and Managing Director of WPA Intelligence said: “It is not shocking that the very same individuals who believe Hispanics prefer being termed ‘Latinx’ have also concluded Hispanics are insulted by Christopher Columbus – and got it utterly wrong, again. Maybe in the future progressives should really just ask Hispanics their opinions on various issues?”
