Abstract

Hispanics are divided about what a Donald Trump presidency means for their place in America, according to a Pew Research Center survey of Hispanic adults taken before his inauguration. This report analyzes the survey data carried out by SSRS, an independent research company, for Pew Research Center, among a nationally representative sample of 1,001 Hispanic respondents ages eighteen and older. The interviews were conducted on cellular and landline telephones from Dec. 7, 2016, through Jan. 15, 2017. The main findings show that a rising share believes the situation of U.S. Hispanics is worsening and that about half of Hispanics are worried about the deportation of someone they know.
