Latino Voters Back Democrats by 24 Points as Trump’s Approval Sinks to 27%
3 articles · Updated · CNN · Oct 4
Summary
59% of Latino voters want Democrats to win Congress, versus 35% for Republicans, according to a new NBC/Telemundo poll — a 24-point edge, up from a 12-point Democratic margin at this stage in 2024.
27% approve of Trump’s overall job performance, and just 20% approve of his handling of the cost of living; Latino voters also say 48% to 27% that Democrats would do a better job on the economy.
30% approve of Trump on immigration, but 66% say his administration has gone too far on enforcement, and about one-quarter say they know someone deported or detained by ICE in the past two years.
62% rate the Republican Party negatively, up from 46% in September 2024, underscoring a reversal after Latino voters helped fuel Trump’s 2024 win with 46% support.
A separate CBS/YouGov poll points the same way, with Latino likely voters favoring a Democratic House candidate 60% to 39%, while the full electorate gives Democrats a 9-point generic-ballot lead.
