According to the Pew Hispanic survey, half (51%) of Latinos say they are satisfied with the nation\u2019s direction while 43% say they are dissatisfied. By contrast, among all Americans, a sizable majority (64%) is dissatisfied with the country\u2019s direction and only 31% express satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gap in sentiment between Latinos and the general public regarding the country\u2019s direction has grown since 2008. Then 25% of Latinos said they were satisfied with the nation\u2019s direction while 19% of the general public said the same. However, since then Latinos\u2019 assessments of the country\u2019s direction have improved faster than the general public\u2019s assessments.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among Hispanics, the foreign born express greater satisfaction with the country\u2019s direction than those who are native born. By a margin of 57% to 36%, Latino immigrants say they are satisfied with the way things are going. Native-born Hispanics are more divided, as just 45% say they are satisfied and 49% are dissatisfied.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"938b82\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #938b82;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-16706 not-transparent\" title=\"2012-Latinos-Express-Growing-Confidence-03-02\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2012\/11\/2012-Latinos-Express-Growing-Confidence-03-02.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"680\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views of the nation\u2019s direction differ by educational status as well. Hispanics with less than a high school diploma are more likely to be satisfied with the nation\u2019s direction than Hispanics with higher levels of educational attainment. Nearly six-in-ten (59%) Hispanics without a high school diploma say this, while about half (49%) of those with a high school diploma and 45% of those with at least some college education say they are satisfied with the country\u2019s direction.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latinos are more satisfied than the U.S. general public with the nation\u2019s direction.
