| Latino voters are sounding the alarm on the failed Trump-Republican economic agenda, and fresh polling shows the message is loud and clear: Latinos are rejecting the reckless policies that are driving costs up and draining family budgets.
A new October 2025 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center reports that 70% of Latinos disapprove of Trump’s job as president. A reported two-thirds of U.S. Latinos also feel they are worse off than one year ago.
Multiple recent surveys show the same finding: Latinos rank the economy, affordability, and cost of living as their top concerns, and about half of Latinos say they’re struggling to pay for at least one of the necessities of groceries, health care, and housing under this Republican administration.
DCCC Spokesperson Bridget Gonzalez:
“Trump and House Republicans lied when they campaigned on lowering costs — they’ve only made things worse for Latino families by pushing cost-spiking tariffs, making everyday goods unaffordable, and cutting health care. Hardworking families are sending a clear message: they’re tired of paying the price for an agenda that puts the ultra-wealthy first.”
What they’re saying:
AP: New survey finds rising pessimism among US Hispanics
- As the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term comes to a close, two new polls from the Pew Research Center find that Hispanic adults are increasingly unhappy with the way his administration is handling the economy and immigration, issues that were key for voters during last year’s election.
- Pew’s findings echo an October survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, which found that 25% of Hispanic adults have a “somewhat” or “very” favorable view of Trump, down from 44% in an AP-NORC poll conducted just before the Republican took office in January.
- The shift in opinion underscores how worried and dissatisfied many Hispanic adults feel. Although many Hispanic voters were motivated by economic concerns in last year’s election, recent polls indicate that Hispanic adults continue to feel higher financial stress than Americans overall.
- Hispanic voters made up 10% of the electorate in 2024, according to AP VoteCast, and the number of eligible Hispanic voters has been growing rapidly in recent decades.
NPR: New poll shows Latino support for Trump is slipping after gains in 2024
- No Republican presidential candidate in history did better with Latinos than Donald Trump did in 2024.
- But there are lots of signs that support has evaporated. Democrats won big victories earlier this month in elections across the country – with large margins among Latinos. Poll after poll has shown Hispanics declining in support for Trump since he was sworn in for a second term.
- And a new, major Pew poll of more than 5,000 Latinos across two surveys underscores this point.
Axios: Pew: Latino pessimism spikes under Trump’s second term
- Latinos feel historic levels of pessimism about their place in the U.S., their economic stability and the impact of President Trump‘s second-term policies, a new Pew Research Center survey found.
