Latino support for Donald Trump began to weaken heading into the 2026 midterm elections, but Democrats are also failing to fully regain the trust of this key electorate in the United States.

A new bipartisan poll released by UnidosUS reveals that the Latino community is primarily concerned about the economy, cost of living and immigration policies pursued during the president's second term.

The survey, conducted between April and May of 3,000 registered Latino voters, found that 54% plan to vote for Democratic candidates for the House of Representatives, while 27% would support Republicans and 19% remain undecided.

Trump loses ground among Hispanic voters

One of the most relevant data from the survey is that one in four Latinos who voted for Trump in 2024 assures that they would not support him again today.

The Republican president made historic gains among Hispanic voters in last elections, especially in states like Texas and Arizona. However, the economic deterioration seems to affect its image.

67% of those surveyed disapprove of Trump's management, including majorities in regions where he had gained strength among the Latino community. Among the main concerns are the cost of living, inflation, wages and employment.

Economy and immigration dominate the conversation

The survey shows that the pocketbook continues to be the main priority for Latinos in the US. 60% consider that the cost of living and inflation are the most urgent issue that Congress must address.

Additionally, only 15% said they felt economically comfortable, while 68% believed the country was “on the wrong path.”

In immigration matters, the majority of those surveyed support granting legal status to undocumented immigrants who have been living in the United States for years. There is also a majority rejection of expanding ICE financing without restrictions.

Texas could define the political course

Texas appears as one of the main electoral laboratories heading into November. According to the UnidosUS survey, Democrat James Talarico leads Republican Ken Paxton among Latino voters in the Senate race.

Republicans, however, continue to see Latinos as a decisive bloc to maintain their political influence.

“The most important voting bloc in the country,” Richard Hudson, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, recently said.
