A new American Communities Project/Ipsos survey has found that optimism about the nation's future has fallen sharply in heavily Latino communities, even as rural areas report rising confidence about what lies ahead for the U.S.
The shift among Latino respondents stands out as one of the most significant mood changes measured this year, as only 58% of residents in heavily Latino areas say they are hopeful about the future of their communities, down from 78% one year earlier.
