New Polls Show Public Discontent Deepening as Trump Loses Ground With Hispanic Adults

Fresh national surveys point to eroding support across key blocs that researchers say could jeopardize Republican fortunes in the 2026 midterms.

Overview

  • An AP-NORC survey finds Trump’s favorability among Hispanic adults at 25%, down from 44% before he returned to office, with 73% saying the country is on the wrong track.
  • Within the same AP-NORC polling, overall job approval among Hispanic adults has fallen to 27%, and favorability among Hispanic Republicans has slipped to 66% from 83% a year earlier.
  • PRRI’s American Values Survey reports 62% of Americans say the nation is headed the wrong way and 56% describe Trump as a “dangerous dictator,” with independents breaking from Republicans on many measures.
  • Majorities in PRRI oppose recent policy moves, including cuts to health programs and university funding, new tariffs, tougher ICE actions, and deportations without court challenges.
  • A separate Quinnipiac poll puts approval of Trump’s handling of the economy at 38%, a new low in that series, with more voters blaming Republicans in Congress than Democrats for the ongoing government shutdown.
