The survey also found Republicans making gains among minority groups. By 9 percentage points, Hispanic voters in the new poll said they would back a Republican candidate for Congress over a Democrat. The two parties had been tied among Hispanic voters in the Journal’s survey in November. Democratic margins also eroded among Black voters, who favored a Democrat for Congress by 35 percentage points in the new survey, down from 56 points in November. Support for a Republican candidate rose to 27% among Black voters, up from 12% in November. [More]
That first part, if it bears out, is great, but still says nothing about "pathway to citizenship" voters, and that second part still means Blacks will vote Democrat by landslides.
I also notice another meme that's been growing for some time and will continue to be put forth: Voters may vote for Republicans but not for Trump. It's possible he's really that alienating. It's also possible that this is a way to make people feel like change is possible when it's really just tapping the brakes on Democrat overreach with the heading staying the same.
