Many Latino voters have turned away from Trump, but Democrats aren't necessarily winning them over, new poll finds

Hispanic voters are heading into the 2026 midterm elections feeling economically squeezed and increasingly skeptical of the direction of the country. Latinos are also especially motivated to turn out this year, which could affect battleground races from Florida to Texas and Arizona. But while President Trump has lost some of the ground he gained with Latino voters in 2024, Democrats are not running away with their support either, according to a new bipartisan survey by UnidosUS, the nation's largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization.The poll offers a glimpse at the shifting views of Latino voters, who could help determine whether Democrats win control of the House and Senate, or whether Republicans preserve their narrow majorities this fall.Some 54% of Latino voters plan to vote for a Democratic House candidate in November, and 27% plan to vote for a Republican, with 19% undecided, according to the poll of 3,000 registered Latino voters, which was conducted nationally and across 32 competitive congressional districts by BSP Research and Shaw & Company Research between April 27 and May 14. The poll's margin of error was 1.8%.That 54% figure lines up exactly with the Democratic share of the Latino vote in the 2024 House elections, according to exit polls that year — which is a notable drop from previous cycles. Democrats won 60% of the Latino House vote in 2022, 63% in 2020 and 69% in 2018. UnidosUS notes that both parties are underperforming their 2024 levels among Latinos, which could be a sign of the broader voter discontent across the electorate towards the leadership of both parties.One-fourth of Latino Trump backers wouldn't vote for him againLatinos played a key role in Mr. Trump's return to the White House. The president won 48% of Latino voters in 2024, a 12-point jump from four years earlier, according to Pew Research Center. The president's improved fortunes with the Latino community — once a heavily Democratic group — helped him win in swing states like Arizona and fend off Democratic advances in Texas.
