President Donald Trump's approval rating is stuck at a record-low 32%, and Hispanic voters are increasingly leaning toward Democrats ahead of the November midterm elections, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.

Trump's Standing Slips Among Hispanic Voters

The six-day poll, completed Monday, showed Trump's approval unchanged from September, when his rating hit the lowest of his political career.

Just 24% of Hispanic Americans approved of Trump's performance, also the lowest level recorded during either of his presidential terms.

That's a striking reversal from 2024, when Hispanic voters helped Trump win nearly half of their vote, compared with roughly one-third in 2020.

Among Hispanic registered voters, 52% said they planned to vote Democratic, compared with 26% who planned to vote Republican, giving Democrats a 26-point advantage.

Overall, registered voters preferred Democrats over Republicans 44% to 37%. Among independents, Democrats led 37% to 21%, while 28% remained undecided.

The poll found that the cost of living was voters' top issue. It also showed that Republicans' advantage among voters age 50 and older had narrowed to 2 percentage points, from 8 points in December.

Trump's Approval Has Been Sliding for Months

In August, Trump's approval rating had fallen to as low as 32% to 34% in some polls, with 57% of independent voters saying their financial situation had worsened under his presidency.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll in July had shown Trump with 35% approval and 63% disapproval, while 59% of voters expected gas prices to worsen because of the Iran war.

Support for the war among MAGA voters had also fallen to about one-third from roughly 50% in May. A senior White House official said, "The White House is at a maximum level of frustration right now."

Midterm Pressure Builds on Trump

Last month, Gary Black, managing partner at The Future Fund, cited Kalshi data showing Democrats with a 61% chance of taking the Senate and a 91% chance of winning the House.

Trump said the U.S. could afford proposed $5,000 payments to every American adult if Republicans retained control of Congress, while House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Congress would need to approve the plan.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) questioned how the payments would be financed, pointing to the nation's $4 trillion debt.

On Labor Day, Trump attacked Democrats and predicted a sweeping Republican victory, saying, "We're going to win the Midterms, BIG, and SAVE AMERICA!"
