A new public opinion poll in the US shows that Democratic candidates have made notable gains since 2024 among Latino voters in critical, competitive districts for the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

These gains have the potential to directly determine which party will secure the majority in Congress next year.<\/p>\n

According to a joint survey by Hart Research and TelevisaUnivision shared<\/a><\/span> with Axios, Democrats reached 58% support on the generic congressional ballot among Latino voters across 17 competitive House districts.<\/p>\n

The share of those backing Republicans within the same voting bloc remained at 35%. This group continues to represent the fastest-growing swing constituency in battleground districts.<\/p>\n

Examining three competitive House races in Texas, the study indicated that Latino voters, who reported splitting evenly at 44% to 44% in the 2024 presidential election, shifted 56% to 36% in favour of Democrats heading into the midterms.<\/p>\n

Latino support for Democrats also increased in other states. In California, 57% of Latino voters said they would support Democrats, compared with 33% who said they would back the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

Kate Coleman, Senior Vice President at TelevisaUnivision, highlighted voter behaviour in remarks to Axios:<\/p>\n

“Latino voters are not locked into one party. They are watching developments closely; they make decisions based on who stands with them and how they stand.”<\/p>\n

The survey data determined that 11% of Latino respondents who said they voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election now support Democratic candidates.<\/p>\n

Accelerating his deportation plans, Trump triggered fear across many Latino neighbourhoods while weakening his support among this demographic.<\/p>\n

The Hart Research and TelevisaUnivision study revealed<\/a><\/span> that 63% of Latino voters disapprove of Trump’s presidential job performance. The share of those approving of his performance in office stood at 36%.<\/p>\n

Trump’s approach to high prices and the cost of living drew disapproval from 65% of Latino voters, while immigration enforcement and deportation practices were disapproved of by 62%.<\/p>\n

More than half of Latino voters, at 64%, reported that they disapprove of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<\/p>\n

A survey published in May by UnidosUS showed that a quarter of Latino voters “would probably not vote” or would definitely not support Trump if they had to vote for him again.<\/p>\n

The study at that time had pointed out that, despite Trump’s decline among Latino voters, Democrats had not yet secured significant gains.<\/p>\n

According to Pew Research Center data<\/a><\/span>, Trump strengthened his support in 2024 by securing 48% of the Latino vote, coming very close to the 51% reached by then Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

Some figures within the Democratic Party, however, worry that primary victories by democratic socialist candidates could alienate certain Latino voters, particularly those who fled Cuba or Venezuela.<\/p>\n

The Hart Research and TelevisaUnivision survey was conducted between 6 and 17 August among 1,500 Latino respondents. The poll’s margin of error was reported as 2.5 percentage points.<\/p>\n
