A clear majority of President Donald Trump’s 2024 voters continue to approve of the job he is doing in office, but his rating has declined among this group and the public as a whole – and his standing has dropped more sharply among his Hispanic voters than among his non-Hispanic backers.
A Pew Research Center survey conducted in April finds that 66% of Latino Trump voters approve of his job performance. That’s down 27 percentage points since the start of his second term.
This Pew Research Center analysis explores approval ratings for President Donald Trump among those who voted for him in 2024 – and in particular, among his Latino voters.
Pew Research Center does research to help the public, media and decision-makers understand important topics. We have studied Latinos’ views of politics, including views of the president, for decades.

We surveyed 5,103 U.S. adults from April 20 to 26, 2026, including 778 Hispanic adults. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Center’s American Trends Panel. The survey represents the views of the full U.S. adult population.
In this analysis, we specifically looked at validated voters – adult citizens who had a record of voting, based on official state election results. We asked them who they voted for in a survey conducted after the 2024 election.
Here are our survey questions, the detailed responses and the survey methodology.
Meanwhile, the share of non-Hispanic Trump voters who approve of his performance has fallen by 16 points, to 79%. As a result, the gap in Trump voters’ evaluations of the president has widened since February 2025.
The steeper drop in approval among Latino Trump voters highlights shifts within an important segment of Trump’s electoral coalition.
With fast population growth over the past few decades, Latinos made up the second-largest racial and ethnic group of eligible voters by 2024. About 36 million Latino adults were U.S. citizens and therefore eligible to vote.
Latinos were also more likely to vote for Trump in 2024 than in prior elections. In 2024, 48% of Latino voters backed him, according to the Center’s 2025 study on validated voters, up from 36% in 2020 and 28% in 2016.
