At least one in three Latino voters who supported in the last elections for the President of the United States, Donald Trump, claims that they regret their decision.
According to surveys released by the organizations Somos Votantes and Somos PAC, and reported by EFE, the disillusionment is primarily attributed to the economic situation and unmet promises.
The polls, presented this Friday during a virtual press conference, indicate that a majority of Latino voters blame the Republican Party for economic frustration, citing the rising cost of living and stagnant wages as central factors.
According to the results reported by EFE, the president's popularity is said to have reached its lowest point in the last quarter of the year, with a rating of -26 points, compared to -12 recorded in February.
During the same period, the approval of his management stood at -28 and his handling of the economy at -30, according to the data presented by those organizations.
The decline would also be reflected in groups considered key: the text indicates that independents have become “completely reluctant,” that discontent is growing among young people, and that Latino men—identified as crucial for his 2024 victory—are also distancing themselves from the president.
"It is not just a poor quarter for Trump among Latino voters; rather, it is a documented collapse that has lasted a year and shows no signs of ending,” stated Melissa Morales, founder and president of Somos Votantes and Somos PAC, as quoted in the document.
According to the respondents, Trump's decisions would show a "disconnection" from economic priorities.
Although one in every two Latino voters believes that inflation and the cost of living should be a presidential priority, only 14% think that he and his party are focused on that issue.
In particular, one of the measures highlighted by the Trump Administration —the tariffs on other countries— is seen by the Latino population as “a significant burden”: two out of three respondents said that it harms them by increasing prices.
In addition, 68% rated the U.S. economy as "bad," and 63% said it is getting worse.
Political impact and health warning
The EFE report places this data on the eve of the 2026 midterm elections, when the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate will be renewed, and suggests that Latino discontent could influence a potential electoral shift.
At the same press conference, the organization Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) released a study which warns that nearly five million people —including one million Latinos— could lose their health insurance if the subsidies from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expire at the end of the year.
It is not the only survey of its kind; a wave of recent polls shows that support among Latino voters —a key bloc that helped Donald Trump win in 2024— is declining sharply.
According to a survey by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research conducted in October 2025, only 25% of Hispanic adults have a “somewhat” or “very” favorable opinion of Trump, compared to 44% at the beginning of the year.
Approval of his administration among Hispanics has also plummeted: from 41% in March to 27% in October. Another survey by UnidosUS, an organization representing the Latino community, reveals that approximately 70% believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and blame Trump.
