President Donald Trump is showing signs of growing support among Hispanic voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, according to newly released polling. Though still facing a negative approval rating within the group, the latest survey data indicates a modest but notable improvement over previous months.
A YouGov/Yahoo News poll conducted between June 26 and 30 among 1,597 adults revealed that Trump’s net approval rating among Hispanic voters has risen to -30 points, with 32 percent expressing approval and 62 percent disapproving. This marks an increase from May, when his net approval stood at -37 points, with 26 percent in favor and 63 percent against.
Historically, Hispanic voters have leaned Democratic. In presidential elections over the past decade, the majority have supported Democratic candidates by large margins. Barack Obama won approximately 66 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2012, while Hillary Clinton captured 65 percent in 2016. Joe Biden followed closely with 63 percent in 2020. However, by 2024, that margin had narrowed significantly. Trump received 43 percent of the Hispanic vote—his strongest showing yet and the highest share for any Republican presidential candidate on record.
This consistent level of support from Hispanic voters contrasts with declining numbers in other key demographics. The same YouGov/Yahoo survey showed Trump’s net approval among Black voters dropped dramatically from -49 to -70 points in June. His standing with Gen Z voters also declined, falling from -23 to -41 points in the same period.
Overall, Trump’s approval ratings continue to trend downward. A June survey from ActiVote, conducted among 523 adults, recorded a national approval rating of 45 percent, with 52 percent disapproving—a net of -7 points. This represents his lowest overall rating since returning to office. Still, it remains slightly higher than his first-term average of 41 percent, as well as Joe Biden’s final-year average of 40 percent.
Other polls echo the trend. A joint survey by Targoz Market Research and Overton Insights, carried out from June 23 to 26 among 1,200 registered voters, found Trump’s approval rating at 43 percent, with 54 percent disapproving—a net rating of -11 points, down from -5 in March. The same YouGov/Yahoo data showed his overall net approval dropped from -13 points in May to -16 points by the end of June.
There were a few polls showing slightly more positive signs for Trump. For instance, an RMG Research survey conducted between June 18 and 26 showed a slim majority of 51 percent approving of the president, compared to 47 percent disapproving—placing him slightly above water at +4 points, although that too was a drop from a previous +7.
Across the board, Trump’s numbers appear volatile. A recent Newsweek tracker placed his approval rating at 45 percent, with 51 percent disapproving—a slight rebound from a -10 point net rating the week prior. Likewise, Navigator Research’s June 26–30 poll showed a modest climb to 45 percent approval, up from a record low of 43 percent earlier that month. A YouGov/Economist poll during the same window also noted an improvement, with his approval ticking up to 42 percent from a previous 40 percent.
While Trump’s overall approval remains negative, the recent polling suggests that shifts in support—especially among Hispanic voters—may play a significant role in shaping the electoral landscape heading into 2026.
