Research shows 70% disapprove of job US president – who won backing of nearly half of Latino voters in 2024 – is doing

A majority of Latinos disapprove of Donald Trump and his economic and immigration policies, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center.

After receiving support from nearly half of Latino voters in the 2024 election, Trump had lost the backing of a majority surveyed in October. Pew found that 70% of Latinos “disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president”, while 65% disapprove of his administration’s approach to immigration and 61% believe his economic policies have worsened economic conditions.

Trump won 48% of the Latino vote in 2024, up from 28% in 2016. Latinos, one of the fastest-growing demographics in the United States, account for one in five Americans.

    After the 2024 election, Latinos, particularly Latino men, credited Trump’s economic proposals and immigration policies – suggesting he was not serious about threats of mass deportations – for winning their vote.

    At the time, two-thirds of Latinos said they “do not feel like he is talking about me” when Trump discussed his immigration policies

    How ignorant do you have to be to have seen Trump’s first term, then heard the rhetoric of him running again twice, and thought “yes his racism is against people like me, but surely he’ll know I’m one of the good ones”?

    And 81% of those people still believe that after everything that’s happened so far!
