U.S. President Donald Trump is losing support among registered Latino voters, according to a Telemundo and NBC News poll released this Sunday showing that 69% disapprove of his performance, just one month ahead of the midterm elections in which the Republican Party risks its majority in Congress.

According to the poll, 59% of the Latino electorate—a demographic where Trump made significant gains during the 2024 presidential election—would prefer Democrats to control Congress, compared to 35% who would opt for Republicans.

A total of 78% of Latino voters disapprove of Trump's handling of the cost of living, 74% disapprove on the economy, 68% on foreign policy, and 69% regarding immigration policy.

The survey, conducted between September 21 and 28 with a sample of 800 registered Latino voters, indicates that 58% disapprove of the border security management promoted by Trump, who has made immigration control a central pillar of his administration.

While 83% support the deportation of all undocumented immigrants who have committed serious crimes, only 37% back the expulsion of all undocumented residents, and two-thirds believe immigration enforcement measures have gone too far.

Respondents expressed concern over the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with 31% stating that they or someone close to them have started carrying identification at all times, and 27% reporting that they know someone who has been deported or detained in the past two years.

Nearly two-thirds of Latino voters consider that the president's policies have hurt their economic conditions, compared to 23% who believe they have benefitted them. The sampling reflects that inflation and the cost of living are the primary issues for the majority (52%).

Latino voters who consider the cost of living as the single most important issue also prefer Democratic control of Congress, giving them a 22-point advantage over Republicans.

The result represents a shift from the 2024 poll, when Republicans led Democrats by four points among that group, NBC News noted.

NBC highlights the reversal of support for Trump among Latino voters, but points out that backing for Democrats appears to stem from rejection of the president's policies and the economic climate, rather than an improved image of the Democratic Party itself.
