Majority of Latino Voters Now Disapprove of Trump and Key Policies, Poll Finds

A Pew Research Center poll finds most Latino adults disapprove of President Trump’s job performance and many of his policies, especially on immigration and the economy. The survey reports 70% disapproval of his job, 65% disapproval of his immigration approach, and 61% who say his economic policies worsened conditions. Support among Latino voters—who made up 48% of Trump’s 2024 vote—has declined amid tariffs, social‑service cuts and aggressive immigration raids, and deportation fears have increased.

Majority of Latino Voters Now Disapprove of Trump and Key Policies, Poll Finds

A new Pew Research Center report shows a notable shift in Latino opinion: a majority of Latino adults now disapprove of President Donald Trump’s overall job performance and many of his administration’s major policies on immigration and the economy.

Key findings

  • 70% of Latino adults disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president.
  • 65% disapprove of his administration’s approach to immigration.
  • 61% say his economic policies have made economic conditions worse for their communities.

Trump captured 48% of the Latino vote in 2024, up from 28% in 2016, making Latino voters a critical and fast-growing constituency—roughly one in five Americans. Many Latino men initially cited his economic proposals and immigration positions as reasons to support him, believing he was unlikely to carry out mass deportations.

That support has weakened following policy shifts including broad tariffs, cuts to social safety-net spending, and an increase in aggressive immigration enforcement. In June, a co-founder of Latinas for Trump publicly called widespread immigration arrests "unacceptable and inhumane."

The November elections also reflected these changes: Democrats regained Latino support in gubernatorial contests in New Jersey and Virginia.

Division by party and rising concerns

The Latino electorate remains sharply divided along party lines. Nearly all Latinos who voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 now disapprove of Trump, while 81% of those who voted for Trump continue to approve of his job as president—down from 93% at the start of his term.

Worry about deportation has increased: in March, 42% of Latinos said they feared that they, a family member, or a close friend could be deported under heightened enforcement; that figure has risen to 52% in the most recent survey. Nearly 60% reported witnessing or hearing about immigration raids or arrests in their communities over the past six months.

For the first time in nearly two decades, a majority of Hispanics say their situation has worsened: only about 10% said Trump’s policies helped them, while 78% said the president’s policies harmed their community.

Context: These statistics reflect sentiments captured in the October survey and subsequent reporting, highlighting shifting attitudes within a pivotal demographic ahead of future elections.
