AP-NORC Poll Finds 19-Point Slide in Hispanic Support for Trump

Fresh AP-NORC data ties the slide to economic strain alongside stepped-up immigration enforcement.

Overview

  • The Oct. 9–13 AP-NORC survey finds just 25% of Hispanic adults view Trump favorably, with job approval at 27% and 73% disapproval.
  • Affordability pressures dominate concerns, with 65% stressed about groceries, 61% about housing, and 52% about health care.
  • The downturn comes as the administration increases immigration raids and deploys masked federal agents in some sanctuary cities.
  • A recent Supreme Court order lifted limits on certain Los Angeles-area immigration stops based on speaking Spanish or working in specific professions.
  • The results contrast with Hispanics’ 2024 shift toward Trump, prompting GOP worries about a growing electorate, with a ±6.9-point margin of error for Hispanic respondents.
