Hispanic Support for Trump Slides Sharply in New AP-NORC Poll

Economic strain stands out as a leading concern among respondents.

Overview

  • Only 27% of Hispanic adults approve of the president’s job performance in October, with 73% disapproving.
  • Favorability has fallen about 19 points since the start of his second term, and job approval among Hispanics dropped from 41% in March to 27% in October.
  • Affordability pressures are widespread, with 65% stressed about groceries, 61% about housing, and 52% about health care.
  • Support inside the GOP coalition has weakened, as backing from Hispanic Republicans is down 17 points since September 2024.
  • Immigration remains a flashpoint, with stepped-up raids, a recent Supreme Court ruling affecting Los Angeles-area stops, and roughly one-quarter supporting deporting all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
