President Donald Trump faces significant erosion in his support among the Latino community. Two out of three Latino voters (67%) disapprove of his administration, according to a UnidosUS survey, and one out of four Hispanics who supported him in 2024 now say they regret that vote.
The percentage of those who regret their vote doubled in just six months. In November 2025, 13% of Latinos who voted for Trump expressed remorse. By April and May 2026, that figure rose to 25%, according to a poll conducted by a bipartisan team for the civil rights organization UnidosUS.
The economy is the primary driver of this shift. The cost of living and inflation are fueling dissatisfaction and pushing Latinos to reconsider their vote. This swing could determine the balance of Congress in the midterm elections on November 3rd.
Why Is Regret Growing Among Latinos Who Voted for Trump?
The regret is concentrated on perceptions of economic management. 66% of those surveyed believe that neither Congress nor the White House are doing enough to address the economy, according to Telemundo. For most Latinos, the cost of living is the issue that matters most in determining their vote.
Pessimism about the future has also grown. 52% of Latinos believe their situation will worsen over the next year under Trump’s economic policies. Daron R. Shaw, pollster and professor at the University of Texas at Austin, noted that the economy “is, without a doubt, an issue that troubles” these voters.
Additionally, 84% of Latinos surveyed said they are concerned because congresspeople do not appear to maintain checks and balances. 84% also opposed a possible U.S. military action against Cuba without congressional approval, according to analysis presented by Gary Segura, UCLA professor.
How Does This Affect Key States?
The Republican Party seeks to maintain its majority in both chambers of Congress. Legislative control could be determined in key states with large Latino populations, such as Arizona, Florida, and Georgia.
