Polls show Latino voters abandoning Trump, shifting to Democrats ahead of 2026 midterms
Multiple polls, including NBC News/Telemundo and CBS News/YouGov, show a sharp decline in Latino voter support for President Donald Trump and Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The NBC/Telemundo poll finds 59% of Latino voters favor Democratic candidates, nearly double their 2024 support, while 69% disapprove of Trump's performance. The shift is attributed to dissatisfaction with Trump's handling of the economy, affordability, and immigration enforcement. However, 42% of Latinos still hold a negative view of the Democratic Party, suggesting turnout is uncertain.
