Notable majority feel the country is headed in the wrong direction, and only 27% approve of his job performance

Donald Trump’s standing with Hispanic adults has dropped notably since he took office at the start of the year, according to a new poll.

Polling by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research suggests growing unease among a voting bloc that was crucial to his 2024 re-election victory. The October survey shows that 25% of Hispanic adults now hold a “somewhat” or “very” favorable view of Trump, down sharply from 44% in an AP-NORC poll conducted just before he began his second term.

At the same time, the share of Hispanic respondents who believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction has risen from 63% in March to 73% in October.

Voter enthusiasm is correlated with turnout. Less enthused Republican or independent Hispanics are more likely to stay home on election day.

Agree those who voted for Trump last election are unlikely to switch to voting Democrat, but if they stay home that makes the path to a Democrat victory more viable. And for that, polls like this are a helpful data point.
