Briefing Summary

NEWSAR · AI

A recent Reuters-Ipsos poll indicates that President Trump's approval rating among Hispanic voters has fallen to a new low of 24 percent, its lowest point during his presidency. This decline comes as the November midterm elections approach, where Hispanic voters are now twice as likely to favor the Democratic Party over the Republican Party. While Trump had previously seen gains with this demographic in the 2024 presidential race, the latest poll suggests these gains have largely disappeared. Approximately 52 percent of Hispanic voters plan to vote for Democrats in the midterms, compared to 26 percent for Republicans. This shift is significant as the midterms are seen as a referendum on Trump's presidency and will determine control of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Hispanic voters are twice as likely to favour Democratic Party over Trump’s Republican Party in the November elections.A new poll from the news agency Reuters and the research firm Ipsos has found that United States President Donald Trump’s approval rating remains at a record low as the midterm elections approach in November.The six-day survey, completed on Monday, found that just 32 percent of US voters approve of the job Trump is doing as president.Recommended Stories list of 3 itemslist 1 of 3‘Bordering on angry’: The state of play as US midterms enter final monthlist 2 of 3Trump defiant about midterm chances as he rallies for Republicans in Ohiolist 3 of 3US adds just 29,000 jobs as unemployment rises before midterm electionsend of listWhile that low rate has held steady since September, the latest Reuters-Ipsos poll suggests his support among Latino voters is continuing to slide.Trump’s approval rating shrunk this month to 24 percent among Hispanic voters, its lowest point in either of his two terms in office.The Republican leader had previously made substantial inroads with that constituency.The Pew Research Center estimated that Trump and his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, were within three percentage points of each other in the 2024 presidential race, earning 48 percent and 51 percent of the Hispanic vote, respectively.That rate marked a significant jump for Trump over the 2020 election, when he only earned 36 percent of the Hispanic vote.Experts have credited the boost in Hispanic support with helping Trump win the 2024 race. His 2020 bid, by contrast, ended in defeat to Democrat Joe Biden.The Monday poll found that Trump’s gains among Hispanics have largely evaporated.About 52 percent plan to vote for the Democrats in the November midterms, compared to 26 percent for Republicans.The upcoming midterm is largely viewed as a referendum on Trump’s second term and will decide whether the Republicans maintain their majorities in the US House of Representatives and the Senate.
