Trump Hispanic Approval Surges Despite Low Overall Rating

President Donald Trump's overall approval rating remains lower than most past presidents at this stage, with a New York Times average of 45% approval and 51% disapproval as of late May 2025. Despite this, an InsiderAdvantage poll from mid-May reports a dramatic increase in support among Hispanic voters, with approval rising to nearly 60%, a 22-point jump from the previous month. This gain is particularly notable given the demographic's historically Democratic lean and Trump's hard-line immigration stance. While Trump's national approval remains underwater in most major polls, he has seen a modest rebound to around 47-48% in some surveys, marking an improvement from earlier lows in his second term. The recent upward trend is partly attributed to easing economic anxieties over tariffs. The polling landscape remains polarized, with some outlier surveys showing Trump in positive territory, but the consensus underscores persistent divisions.
