US Latino voter trends in 2026 midterms

Overview

As the November 3 midterm elections approach, polling indicates a deepening shift in Latino voter sentiment away from the Trump administration. Recent data from NBC News, Telemundo, and CBS News shows that 69% of registered Latino voters disapprove of the administration, with only 27% expressing approval. Economic anxiety remains a primary driver, as 78% of respondents express concern over the cost of living and 65% believe current economic policies have harmed the economy. Additionally, 67% of voters believe immigration enforcement measures have “gone too far”.

This demographic shift is creating a significant advantage for Democrats, who hold a 24-point lead regarding which party should control Congress—a margin notably higher than in the 2024 cycle. While women lean more heavily toward Democrats, men are also showing a preference for Democratic control, albeit with a smaller margin.

In Florida, the voting bloc is becoming increasingly competitive. In Miami-Dade County, a CBS News Battleground Tracker poll indicates 60% of Hispanic likely voters lean toward congressional Democrats, compared to 39% for Republicans. In Doral, some voters who previously supported the administration due to the capture of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro are expressing disappointment over the economy and deportation policies.

Concerns regarding voter intimidation have also emerged; in Los Angeles, actor Eugenio Derbez raised alarms about attempts to discourage participation. With the balance of power potentially hinging on Latino-majority districts in Arizona, Colorado, Texas, and Iowa, the community's focus remains fixed on family budgets, fuel costs, and immigration enforcement.
