Donald Trump’s approval rating amongst Hispanic voters.

Donald Trump’s approval rating amongst Hispanic voters.

Apparently, besides jobs, housing, economy and the issues that affect us all, a lot of legal Hispanic citizens may also be happy with the way President Trump is handling immigration, and others aren’t, but it’s pretty well-known that that a lot of them are not any happier with illegal immigration than anyone else, except liberal democrats and paid protesters.
But some people live in an alternate reality too, and liberal democrats will latch onto anything that helps reinforce their hate of President Trump and without even understanding why. Trumphobia and TDS are terrible mental afflictions.

Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Changes Course With Hispanic Voters

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dramatically changed course with Hispanic voters, according to data from a national polling series.
A new ActiVote survey shows a sharp rebound in Trump’s approval rating among Hispanics from the prior month’s numbers, representing his strongest showing among this demographic in the series.
Newsweek contacted the White House via email for comment.

Republican National Committee (RNC) National Press Secretary Kiersten Pels told Newsweek: “Republicans are making steady gains with Hispanic voters by focusing on jobs, public safety, and the cost of living.”

Why It Matters
Hispanic voters are a rapidly growing and geographically pivotal bloc whose political preferences vary widely across communities, making even modest shifts consequential in battleground states.
An 18‑point swing towards approval in the ActiVote series highlights a group in motion at a moment when Trump’s overall approval remains negative, underscoring how gains with key demographics could reshape the 2026 electoral map.

What To Know
The latest ActiVote poll, released February 1 and based on a sample of 490 registered voters surveyed between January 1 and January 31 with a margin of error of 4.4 percent, shows Trump at 56 percent approval and 44 percent disapproval among Hispanic respondents.
Just two months earlier, ActiVote found almost the opposite sentiment.
It’s November poll, conducted between October 1 and October 31 among 574 registered voters with a margin of error of 4.1 percent, measured Trump at 47 percent approval and 51 percent disapproval.
By December, his numbers deteriorated sharply: ActiVote’s survey of 568 registered voters fielded November 1 through November 30, also with a margin of error of 4.1 percent, placed his Hispanic approval at just 38 percent against 62 percent disapproval.

The January rebound to a majority‑approval position therefore represents an 18‑point swing in approval in a single month.
Hispanic voters are one of the fastest‑growing segments of the electorate and play critical roles in states such as Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Florida and parts of the Midwest. Even modest movement can shift statewide margins.
A swing of this scale—if replicated or sustained—suggests that Trump retains the ability to regain support quickly after setbacks.

What Is Trump’s Overall Approval Rating?
Trump’s aggregate national approval remains firmly negative across the major public tracking polls.
CNN’s poll of polls, which blends multiple national surveys using each pollster’s own methodology, consistently places Trump’s approval in the low forties and his disapproval in the mid‑fifties.
While the exact margins vary as new polls are added, the combined trendline has shown little movement throughout his second term. At the time of writing, it averaged 39 percent approval and 59 percent disapproval, a net –20.

The Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll — a conservative‑leaning survey that historically records higher GOP support—now places Trump at his lowest rating of this term at 41 percent approval and 57 percent disapproval, giving a net approval rating of -16.
Rasmussen’s rolling three‑day averages typically include about 1,500 likely voters and carry margins of error of roughly 2 to 3 percent. For a pollster often favorable to Trump to show him at a term‑low rating is notable and underscores his broader national erosion.
The Economist/YouGov national poll, which generally surveys around 1,500 registered voters online with a margin of error close to 3 percent, also shows Trump’s approval significantly below his disapproval.
It currently stands at a net approval rating of -15 percent, a 2.2‑point improvement from last week, with 41 percent of voters approving, 56 percent disapproving and 5 percent undecided.
YouGov’s methodology produces stable readings with less month‑to‑month volatility, making the negative trend especially clear.

What People Are Saying
RNC National Press Secretary Kiersten Pels told Newsweek: “Democrats are pointing to polls in deep-blue states and pretending that means they’re winning, but voters across the country are moving in the opposite direction.
“Republicans are making steady gains with Hispanic voters by focusing on jobs, public safety, and the cost of living, while Democrats obstruct law enforcement and create chaos in our communities. Under President Trump, support among Hispanic voters has surged, when Democrats rallied behind failed candidate Kamala Harris. That’s why Republicans are on offense nationwide heading into 2026.”
Justin Chermol, a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told Newsweek in an emailed statement: “The wind is at Democrats’ backs as we continue to overperform in special elections, outpace Republicans in the polls, and remind the American people that corrupt House Republicans are an epic, flailing disaster.”
White House spokesman Kush Desai told Newsweek: “Nearly 80 million Americans gave President Trump a resounding Election Day mandate to end Joe Biden’s economic disaster and immigration crisis. The Trump administration remains laser-focused on continuing to cool inflation, accelerate economic growth, secure our border, and mass deport criminal illegal aliens.”

What Happens Next
Whether January’s surge becomes a durable trend or a short‑lived anomaly will become clearer with the next wave of polling.
For now, Hispanic voters appear to remain firmly in play, and their movement could help define the political story of 2026.
