Trump approval among Hispanic voters falls to 24 per cent, poll finds

A Reuters-Ipsos poll found that 24 per cent of Hispanic voters approve of US President Donald Trump, the lowest level recorded across his two terms. The survey found 32 per cent of US voters overall approve of his performance, unchanged from September.

Among Hispanic respondents, 52 per cent said they planned to vote Democratic in the 3 November midterm elections, compared with 26 per cent who planned to vote Republican. These are stated voting intentions, not election results.

The figures follow gains Trump made with Hispanic voters in the 2024 presidential election. Pew Research Center estimates cited in the source put his share of that vote at 48 per cent, against 51 per cent for Kamala Harris; Trump received 36 per cent in 2020.

The midterms will determine whether Republicans retain majorities in the House of Representatives and Senate. A shift in control of either chamber could constrain the president’s legislative agenda.

The source report linked declining support to concerns about immigration enforcement and the cost of living, and said Trump’s decision to launch a war on Iran may also weigh on his popularity. The poll package does not provide a sample size or margin of error.
