What to know

  • Latino support for Trump has fallen roughly 20 points since the 2024 election, from about 45-48% at the ballot box to 42% net unfavorable and only 27% approval in September 2026 polling.
  • Only 26% of Hispanic respondents told Reuters/Ipsos in October they planned to vote Republican, undercutting GOP hopes of a lasting realignment with Latino voters.
  • Reporting from South Texas shows Hispanic voters are frustrated with Republicans over the economy and immigration enforcement, though some remain distrustful of Democrats on immigration reform too.
  • Analysts say the shift is making a number of House and Senate races closer than expected ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms.

“That chapter in Latino and American political history has closed. And I think a lot of Democrats are having a lot of trouble coming to terms with that.”

    Reporting details a nearly 20-point drop in Latino support for Trump

    A Capital & Main/Economic Hardship Reporting Project analysis, citing Reuters/Ipsos and other polling, finds Latino support for Trump fell from about 45-48% at the ballot box in 2024 to 42% net unfavorable with 27% approval in September 2026, and just 26% planning to vote Republican by October; strategist Mike Madrid says the era of a predictable Democratic-leaning Latino vote has ended.

    “With America’s largest minority voting 50-50, how can you say that being a minority makes you a Democrat? Like, you can’t credibly say that. Because it’s not true.”
