I would agree Democrats are slipping with Latinos. Latinos trended heavily Democratic for a few cycles and really bottomed out with the GOP in 2016 and during the 2018 midterms. There has been bounce back and trend back towards the GOP since The bigger question is how much will it trend going forward Will it go back to the norm? Or will it trend all the way back to the high point of GOP support with Latinos which was generally Bush in 2004.

I doubt it will bounce back. The differences between the DNC of 2022 and Latinos are too large to bridge.

This should not be a surprise. With the Democrats pushing an agenda benefiting only Blacks, the Latinos may be realizing that they are being left out. They are also very religious, and supportive of family values, both of which which align better with the Republicans. I would also expect more Republican support from the Asians next election now that they are starting to lose ground due to their superior educational/career/financial status.

I was saying the GOP bounced back with the Latino vote from 2016 and 2018 which was when the bottom fell out for them. My question was more along the lines of will the GOP vote with Latinos go back to the typical levels it has been in the past or will it go back to the high of 2004?
As a side note, what is the obsession of referring to the Democratic Party as the Democratic National Committee??

I did view it as just a matter of when. Latinos are ultra religious, while Asians tend to perform so well in our free market system.

The DNC dominates the rest of the party. Often alienating them in the process.
