Sources: 76. Developments: 5. Recent polling indicates a continued decline in support for Donald Trump and the Republican Party among Latino voters ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections. Data from the Pew Research Center shows 51% of registered Latino voters support Democratic candidates for Congress, compared to 24% for Republicans. Trump’s approval rating among Hispanic Americans has seen a marked decline; while he achieved record support in 2024, recent surveys indicate his approval has fallen significantly, with one report noting 74% of Latino voters disapprove of his administration. Economic anxieties remain the primary driver for this demographic. Approximately 86% of voters cite the economy as a critical factor, with 80% expressing deep concern regarding the costs of housing, energy, and food. Other major priorities include healthcare (80%), education (75%), and democracy (69%). Regarding immigration, 83% of Latino voters support the deportation of undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes, though 67% believe current enforcement measures have “gone too far.” Concerns regarding ICE enforcement persist, with 70% of respondents believing administration policies have been harmful to the Hispanic community. As the midterms approach, Latino voters represent at least 20% of registered voters in nearly two dozen competitive House districts across states such as Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas. While 61% of Latino voters indicate they will support Democratic candidates, this remains below the 68% support level seen in 2016. Additionally, 42% of respondents expressed discontent with both major political parties. ## Claims - 52% of Hispanic voters plan to vote for Democrats (disputed by 16 sources) - 32% of Americans approve of Donald Trump's presidency (disputed by 13 sources) - 61% of Latino voters say they will support Democratic candidates in November.
