Trump hemorrhaging support from key voting bloc that helped elect him, new poll finds
One in four say they wouldn't vote for him again.

The significant progress President Donald Trump made with Hispanic voters during the 2024 election appears to be fading. A new survey indicates that growing dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy and the war in Iran is taking a toll on his standing within the community.
Support Slipping
According to a survey conducted for UnidosUS, the nation's largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization, one in four Hispanic voters who backed Trump in 2024 now say they would not support him again. As reported exclusively by CBS News, this regret has been trending upward; only 9% of Hispanic Trump voters expressed such second thoughts in April 2025, a figure that climbed to 13% by November.
In contrast, the survey reveals that only 5% of Hispanic voters who supported Kamala Harris currently regret their decision. While Harris secured more than half of the Hispanic vote, the Associated Press noted that her margins were lower than the roughly 6 in 10 Hispanic voters who supported Joe Biden in previous cycles.
Low Approval Ratings
Current polling paints a difficult picture for the president, with two-thirds of Latino voters disapproving of his overall job performance. This includes 51% disapproval within his home state of Florida. Trump’s approval ratings among Hispanics fall below the 50% mark across key policy areas, including inflation (44%), immigration enforcement (33%), jobs and wages (26%), and the conflict in Iran (25%).
Voter Motivation
While the data suggests a souring sentiment toward Trump, it also highlights a lack of enthusiasm among Hispanic Democrats. Only 31% of those surveyed said their primary motivation for voting is to support their party's candidates, while 52% cited community support as their main driver. Conversely, 52% of Hispanic GOP voters stated they are primarily motivated by a desire to support their preferred candidates.
