Latino support for Democrats remains stagnant despite President Trump losing some of the gains he made with the key voting bloc in the 2024 election, a new poll found.
The UnidosUS survey of 3,000 registered Hispanic voters found 54% of Latinos plan to vote for Democratic House candidates in the midterm election, while 27% plan to vote for Republicans and 19% remain undecided.
The 54% is exactly the same percentage of Hispanics that went for Democratic House candidates in 2024, according to a CBS News exit poll.
The 2024 exit poll results marked a notable decline in Latino support for Democratic House candidates compared to previous election cycles.
Democrats received 60% of the Latino vote in 2022 House races, 63% in 2020 and 69% in 2018, according to the outlet.
UnidosUS, a Latino civil rights and advocacy group, found that Hispanic support for Democrats hasn’t increased despite 1 in 4 Hispanic Trump voters indicating they likely wouldn’t cast a ballot for the president if given a second chance.
Among Latinos that backed Trump in 2024, 25% said they either “probably would not vote for Trump again” or were “certain” they would not if they “had to do it over again.”
However the vast majority (75%) were inclined to still vote for Trump in that scenario.
