Trump Approval Among Latino Voters Drops, Poll Shows

Multiple recent national polls show a significant decline in President Trump's approval and favorability ratings among Latino voters during his first 100 days in office, with economic concerns and immigration policy driving this shift. While Trump achieved a notable increase in Latino support in the 2024 election, current surveys indicate that most Latino voters now disapprove of his performance, especially regarding the economy and aggressive deportation measures. Cost-of-living pressures and fear of deportation are leading causes of dissatisfaction, with a majority reporting that the U.S. economy is worsening and many expressing anxiety over the potential deportation of friends or family. Harsh immigration enforcement and anti-immigrant rhetoric have heightened fear and distrust within the community, even among some who voted for Trump. Although some Trump pollsters have criticized the methodology of certain surveys, pollsters and Latino advocacy organizations maintain their results are representative of national sentiment. Younger Latinas, in particular, express high levels of concern and fear about the administration's policies and their impact on daily life.
