Trump Hispanic Favorability Drops 19 Points Since January

President Donald Trump's favorability among Hispanic adults has significantly declined since he began his second term, dropping from 44% to 25% according to a recent AP-NORC poll. Approval of his job performance among Hispanic adults fell from 41% in March to 27%, accompanied by increased dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy and immigration, issues that previously contributed to his support. Additionally, 73% of Hispanic adults now feel the country is heading in the wrong direction, up from 63% earlier in the year. This shift presents a challenge for Republicans aiming to maintain Hispanic support in upcoming elections, especially as Hispanic voters composed 10% of the electorate in 2024 and remain a growing demographic. Despite Trump's campaign promises of economic revitalization, many Hispanic adults continue to experience financial stress, impacting their support. This trend signals potential difficulties for Trump’s administration and the Republican Party in securing this key constituency in future contests.
