United States President Donald Trump's approval rating has reached a new low among Hispanic voters, according to a recent Reuters-Ipsos poll. The survey, completed on Monday, found that only 24 percent of Hispanic voters approve of Trump's job performance, marking the lowest point during his presidency.

This decline in support comes as the United States approaches the November midterm elections, which are largely seen as a referendum on Trump's second term. The outcome of these elections will determine whether the Republican Party retains its majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate, potentially impacting Trump's legislative agenda.

The latest poll indicates a significant shift from previous elections. In 2024, Trump had made notable progress with Hispanic voters, with some estimates placing his support at 48 percent, nearly on par with his Democratic rival. This support was considered a key factor in his 2024 victory, contrasting with his 2020 defeat to Democrat Joe Biden, where he secured 36 percent of the Hispanic vote.

The current poll suggests these gains have largely evaporated. Approximately 52 percent of Hispanic voters surveyed plan to vote for Democratic candidates in the upcoming midterms, while only 26 percent intend to support Republicans. This trend presents a challenge for the Republican Party as they seek to maintain their congressional majorities.

Democrats have expressed optimism about leveraging Trump's declining approval ratings to galvanize voter momentum. A Democratic majority in Congress could significantly limit Trump's ability to enact his policy objectives during the remainder of his term.

However, Trump has also faced internal dissent within the Republican Party. Representative Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida, a Republican incumbent, recently released a campaign advertisement directly addressing Trump. In the ad, she stated that "The same Hispanics who helped you get to the White House in 2024 feel betrayed today," pointing to Trump's stringent immigration policies as a source of discontent.

The overall approval rating for Trump among all US voters remains at a steady low of 32 percent, a figure that has held since September. The Reuters-Ipsos poll surveyed 1,000 US voters nationwide, including 400 Hispanic voters, over a six-day period.

As the midterms draw closer, the impact of this erosion of support among a key demographic remains a critical question for the Trump administration and the Republican Party's electoral prospects.
