What we found

Contradicts. Equis's October 2026 memo found 76% of Latino Trump voters still support a GOP candidate on the generic ballot, with 13% backing a Democrat, so these voters are not all gone.[3]

Supports. Reuters/Ipsos found only 24% of Hispanic Americans approved of Trump's performance, the lowest share in either of his terms, and just 26% of Hispanic registered voters planned to vote Republican in the midterms.[1]

Supports. The Harvard Youth Poll found 63% of likely young voters describe their congressional vote as opposition to Trump, compared with 14% as support.[2]

Supports. CNN's Harry Enten reported that Trump's 2024 gains among working-class Latinos had largely evaporated, with his net approval 42 points underwater in an average of 2026 polls.[4]

Context. NPR's October 2026 poll found non-white voters disapproved of Trump's job performance, and NBC News found his approval among non-MAGA Republicans at 54%.[5][6]
