A New Low for Trump: Latino Voters Turn Against Him in Record Numbers.
A recent study by the Pew Research Center has found that a majority of Latino voters now disapprove of Donald Trump and his economic and immigration policies. The report, which surveyed nearly 1,000 Latinos, reveals a significant shift in sentiment towards the president among this demographic, which is one of the fastest-growing populations in the United States.
According to the study, 70% of Latinos disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president, while 65% are dissatisfied with his administration's approach to immigration and 61% believe that his economic policies have worsened economic conditions. In contrast, only 10% of respondents said Trump's policies had helped them.
Trump's popularity among Latino voters has been in decline since the 2024 election, when he won nearly half of their votes despite being a Republican candidate. However, before that, many Latinos credited his economic proposals and immigration policies with winning their support, particularly because they perceived him as not serious about mass deportations.
However, Trump's administration has taken a more aggressive stance on immigration since the election, leading to widespread criticism from many in the Latino community. Immigration raids and arrests have become increasingly common, and many Latinos now fear that they or a family member could be deported under Trump's policies.
The Pew report highlights the deepening divide between Democrats and Republicans among Latinos, with nearly all those who voted for Kamala Harris disapproving of Trump, but 81% of those who voted for him approving of his job. This suggests that many Latino voters see themselves as part of a distinct community with their own concerns and priorities.
The study also reveals that many Latinos are worried about the impact of Trump's policies on their lives. Nearly 60% reported witnessing or hearing about immigration raids or arrests in their communities in the past six months, and a majority said they believed their situation had worsened under Trump's leadership. For the first time in nearly two decades, Pew reported that "most Hispanics say their situation has worsened".
As the 2024 election approaches, it remains to be seen how these trends will shape Latino voter turnout and preferences. However, one thing is clear: Donald Trump's policies have alienated a significant portion of the Latino community, which will be an important factor in shaping the future of American politics.

i mean 70% disapproving of his job and nearly 60% seeing immigration raids or arrests in their communities its like he's single-handedly making latinos feel unwelcome 
in america meanwhile his economic policies have literally made life worse for them sadly it looks like trumps popularity is finally catching up with him 
i dont think many people saw this shift coming but now that the numbers are out its hard to ignore the damage he's done to the latino community 
his economic and immigration policies just dont seem to be helping them out at all its like hes creating more problems than he's solving 
meanwhile there are so many people in the community who are scared of deportation or having their families torn apart 
theres gotta be a better way for the president to connect with his constituents and address their concerns 
. I mean, I knew Trump had some issues with the Latino crowd, but 70% disapproving of him? That's a whole lotta people 
. I think part of the reason is that he's been super aggressive on immigration since his election 
. Like, how does that even happen? I guess some people really do see him as not being all about mass deportations 
.
. But if you did vote for him, you're like, "Hey, man, I gotchu 
". It's wild to think about.
. One thing's for sure - Trump's policies have alienated some serious folks 
.
They're just not feeling it anymore. I mean, can't we just get along? 
I'm all about DIY solutions to problems, but this one seems like a tough nut to crack.
anyway, its nice to see some good news for once - maybe these stats will help kamala or someone else who actually cares about the latino community build some actual momentum in the 2024 election 
and yeah, i can relate to feeling like you're just trying to live your life without getting caught up in all this drama... meanwhile, trump's over here making sure everyone knows he's still "fighting for" them 
.
. He promised to help them back in 2016 but it was all just empty words. Now they see him for who he is - a polarizing figure who doesn't care about their struggles 
. It's time for politicians to start listening to the concerns of this growing demographic, not just using them as votes 
I mean, who knew being tough on immigration would make you unpopular among the "immigrants" themselves? I guess that's what happens when you're all like "no more deportation drama... except we still have it". 
On a serious note, 70% disapproving of Trump is wild – I think they should start calling him "Deport-o-matic" instead of "Tweetin' Trump". Anyways, I wonder if Kamala's gonna be able to swoop in and save the day for those affected by his policies. 
It's no wonder they're feeling worse off under his leadership, especially with all the immigration raids and arrests going on 
and what really gets me is that trump's people thought they could win over latinos with economic proposals but they ended up scaring them off instead. immigration raids are a huge turnoff, its no wonder most are worried about getting deported or harming their families. the divide between dems and reps is real and the pew report is highlighting it like no other 
I'm not surprised by this news at all... 70% disapproving of Trump's handling of his job is pretty low for someone who was popular with some Latinos before, especially since he took a more aggressive stance on immigration after the election. It's like he thought he could just flip flop and everything would be cool again, but it doesn't work that way. The fact that 60% of Latinos reported witnessing or hearing about immigration raids or arrests in their communities is just heartbreaking... can't even imagine what they're going through. This is a major problem for Trump's party if he tries to win over Latino voters again 
it was about trump's hair 
maybe that's why they're not voting for him?
