A new national poll released this week shows President Donald Trump losing support among Latino, Black, AAPI, and young voters, suggesting a broader political shift heading into the 2026 midterms.
The survey was conducted by My Code, a multicultural media, data, and marketing company that tracks attitudes among diverse voter groups.
La Opinión first reported on the findings, which include the following:
Trump’s approval rating among multicultural voters is 34 percent.
Among non-multicultural voters, Trump’s approval is 50 percent.
Approval among multicultural women is 27 percent, compared to 42 percent among multicultural men, a 15-point gender gap.
Approval among young multicultural women is 18 percent.
Among non-multicultural men under 25, Trump’s approval is 47 percent, compared to 57 percent among older non-multicultural men.
Disapproval has increased across key groups since March: AANHPI up 4.4 percent, Black up 3.8 percent, Hispanic up 3.2 percent, total multicultural up 3.7 percent, and LGBTQIA+ up 1 percent.
Thirty-six percent of multicultural voters say they know someone personally impacted by Trump’s immigration policies, including 44 percent of Hispanics and 51 percent of LGBTQIA+ respondents.
Close to 60 percent of multicultural voters disapprove of the government’s handling of immigration.
Eighty-eight percent of multicultural voters are concerned about political violence, and 52 percent believe their community is at higher risk of being targeted.
“We’re seeing early signs of shifting attitudes, a kind of political recalibration, among multicultural voters across age groups, demographic backgrounds, and income levels,” Junelle Cavero, Head of Political at My Code, said in a media release. “Concerns over affordability, immigration enforcement, and political violence are driving a deeper sense of unease, and the dissonance between lived experience and political messaging is widening.”
“In particular, the gains made by Trump and the GOP with multicultural voters in recent election cycles appear to be eroding. What we’re observing, both in this new data and in the outcomes of recent off-cycle elections, suggests a growing sense of buyer’s remorse and a demand for leaders who understand and respond to the realities these communities are facing. These evolving attitudes could have serious implications for engagement and turnout heading into 2026,” Cavero added.
The findings are based on a survey of more than 3,500 voters across AANHPI, Black, Hispanic, LGBTQIA+, and women voter segments.
A 30-minute presentation of the findings is posted on our YouTube channel.
