Trump's approval among Latino voters is crashing, new poll shows

Source: politico



A new poll shows the president’s approval has dropped by 14 points since February among independents.



By Andrew Howard 06/03/2025 09:55 AM EDT

After Latino voters moved toward President Donald Trump in November, a new in-depth survey of this demographic shows their support for him could be breaking, according to polling shared first with POLITICO.

Throughout the president’s first few months in office, his favorability among Latinos is crashing, especially among independents and women, according to a new poll conducted by Global Strategy Group and commissioned by Somos Votantes, a Democratic-leaning group that focuses on Latinos.

Among independents, Trump’s approval dropped from 43 percent in February to 29 percent in May. Overall, his approval among Latinos dropped from 43 percent to 39 percent. The poll surveyed 800 Hispanic/Latino registered voters nationwide between May 8 and May 18 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.

The Latinos surveyed were also increasingly negative on Trump’s handling of the economy, with just 38 percent of those surveyed holding a positive view. Among independents, that figure drops to 26 percent, and among women it’s at 30 percent.............

Seems some Latino's are waking up to Trump lies.

Latino culture is conservative, especially on issues like abortion. They took Trump at his word that he would only go after undocumented immigrants who were criminals.

Gay WHITE men are voting their wallet and what they assumed would be a better economy under Trump, with a side order of racist misogyny.

Dunno wtf is wrong with any lesbians who voted for Trump....

they thought trump was the answer.My daughter, an educator in a Latino district and deals with Latino adults, once said to me that there's the machiso element, eaning that Latino males often are opposed to women candidates because of that. Therefore voted for trump instead of Harris.

Dumb.

That is his only real ground game left. I think he'll really stick it to Every demographic that doesn't include his base, whether they supported him in the past or not. Each poke in the eye cements his status as the shepherd among his ever-dwindling faithful flock of white sheep.

If Biden/Harris had done what trump is doing, he would have lost the Latino vote........ (sarcasm).

Everything that is happening was predictable, and preventable, so excuse me if I don't give a damn.

is not acting at all like they are in the very least concerned about the "next" election. They are acting like they know there will never be any elections, at least how we have known them in the past, ever again.

“Maybe you do not care much about the future of the Republican Party. You should. Conservatives will always be with us. If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.”

Trusting them to actually be good Democrats is a whole 'nother discussion, though.

When anyone has to see death and lawlessness to change their vote, we know we're dealing with people who have not taken adult responsibility to be lifelong learners about
-- law, how government works; or
-- about 'news vs information,' 'power vs empowerment,' or
-- rule of men vs rule of law.'
It might just be too late, anyway, since the stupid outvoting the smart have been decades in the making

No Idea what my fellow Hispanic voters were thinking. Trump and the GOP have been making it abundantly clear for many decades that they don't like black and brown people. Many Hispanics (like my abuela) think of themselves as Spanish not Puerto Rican or Cuban or Venezuelan ... . Trump and the GOP obviously don't share this view -- as they've been making increasingly clear. My peeps need to realize that "almost white" or "pretty much white" doesn't cut it with MAGA.

I could never figure out why there was always groups of Latino and Black faces in the background of Trump's political rallies. Why show up to listen to a loudmouthed moron who would openly insult and debase people of colour or mock those of cultures other than his own. A political party who's history is rife with racial bigotry is the last place you would figure these folks would throw their support.

Of course it may not be what they wanted.



Besides, Trump doesn’t care - he got out of a possible Jail Sentence and is able to do his retribution tour. He doesn’t need them anymore, so why should he care about poll numbers.

Between the dementia or whatever STD related disease he might have, in all probability he will be dead before 2028 or so mentality out of it that it won’t matter.
