With President Donald Trump’s approval rating underwater by over seventeen points and the GOP facing criticism over inflation and the Iran war in a critical midterm election, we would expect swing voters to be flocking to Democrats. Despite inflation and the Iran war creating strong headwinds for Republicans leading into November, Latino voters are fleeing from the Democratic Party, showing a twenty-point collapse since 2022 and a thirty-point collapse since 2018.

In 2022, Democrat Congressional candidates won Hispanics 60 percent to 39 percent according to NBC News exit polls. In 2018, Democrats won a full 69 percent of Latinos and Republicans won 29 percent according to CNN exit polls.

Now, the latest surveys show Democrats will be lucky if they can achieve even 40 percent of the Latino vote in November just four years after they achieved 60 percent in 2022.
