ICYMI: Recent Somos Votantes Poll Finds Latino Voters Increasingly Disillusioned with Trump’s Economic Agenda
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Recent reporting from POLITICO highlighting Somos Votantes’s latest poll reveals Latino voters growing even more pessimistic about the state of the economy and the Trump administration’s economic policies. The data, published earlier this month, highlights a continued decline in Latino voter support for President Trump, driven largely by their dissatisfaction with his leadership and economic agenda.
The poll findings are clear: Latino voters are under mounting economic pressure and they don’t have faith in Trump’s economic policies. As Republicans in Congress prioritize a tax bill that would cut critical programs like Medicaid, Latino voters feel that these priorities are out of touch with their daily realities.
"Hardworking Latinos are the backbone of industries, yet they're seeing higher grocery bills, facing threats to their financial security, and dealing with the fallout of Trump's reckless trade policies," said Somos Votantes Founder and President Melissa Morales. "They want leaders to l provide better wages, affordable healthcare, and policies that support working families—not fuel distrust among the people who drive our economy. That's why Somos is working across states to give hardworking Latinos the tools and opportunities they need to thrive."
This poll follows Somos Votantes’ ongoing post-election tracking series from earlier this year and highlights a growing political concern: Latinos are overwhelmingly unhappy with President Trump less than six months into his second term.
The poll’s findings also made headlines across Spanish-language media and broadcast:
- El Diario New York: Donald Trump's approval rating among Latino voters continues to plummet.
- Estrella TV: Support is plummeting
- El Diario New York: “This isn't the booming economy Trump promised, it's worse”: Melissa Morales, of Somos Votantes
- El Pulso Miami: Antídoto con Pedro Sevcec
As economic pressures continue to mount, Latino communities are demanding leadership that meets the moment and keeps its promises of alleviating the cost of living and lowering prices. The poll provides invaluable insight into how economic concerns remain at the forefront of Latino voters’ minds and how Trump’s economic agenda is deeply unpopular with this critical voting bloc.
