Trump Approval Holds at 32% in Reuters/Ipsos Poll as Hispanic Voters Shift Toward Democrats
A Reuters/Ipsos survey completed Monday put President Donald Trump's approval at 32%, unchanged at a career low, with just 24% of Hispanic Americans approving and Hispanic registered voters favoring Democrats 52% to 26% ahead of the November 3 midterms.
President Donald Trump’s job approval stayed at 32% in a Reuters/Ipsos survey completed Monday, matching the lowest reading of his political career first recorded in the pollster’s September survey, according to Reuters.
The six-day online survey of 4,506 U.S. adults, with a margin of error of about two percentage points, found the weakness concentrated among Hispanic voters less than a month before the November 3 midterm elections decide control of both chambers of Congress, according to Reuters.
Hispanic support falls sharply
Just 24% of Hispanic Americans said they approve of the president’s performance, the lowest share in either of his terms, according to Reuters. Hispanic voters were a key part of the coalition that elected him in 2024, when he won nearly half of their vote, up from roughly one-third in 2020, according to Reuters.
The survey linked the slide to voter strain from high inflation, which Reuters attributed to the administration’s decision to go to war with Iran. Among Hispanic registered voters, 26% said they plan to back Republicans in November, while 52% said they plan to vote Democratic — about twice the Republican share and the widest Democratic edge in that group since the president took office, according to Reuters.
