United StatesA new Hart Research/TelevisaUnivision poll reveals that Democrats are gaining significant traction with Latino voters in key House battlegrounds, reversing former President Donald Trump's near-parity with Democrats among Latinos seen in the 2024 election. The poll shows Democrats hold a 58%-35% lead in a generic congressional ballot among Latino voters in 17 competitive districts, doubling the gap between Kamala Harris and Trump in their 2024 self-reported vote. This shift comes amid growing dissatisfaction with Trump's immigration policies and rising costs, with 65% of Latino voters disapproving of his handling of prices and the cost of living. In specific districts like Texas and Florida, Latino voter support has swung decisively toward Democrats, with some areas seeing a dramatic shift from a 44-44 split in 2024 to a 56-36 Democratic advantage. The poll highlights a broader trend where Latino voters are increasingly prioritizing economic concerns and perceived alignment with Democratic values over partisan loyalty.
