Trump approval – New polling shows a modest uptick in Trump support among Hispanic voters, even as overall approval remains low.
Donald Trump’s relationship with Hispanic voters may be moving in the right direction, with a fresh polling snapshot showing his approval at a more than two-month high.
In early May, a new Misryoum-reported Economist/YouGov poll puts Trump’s approval among Hispanic voters at 40%, alongside 52% disapproval.. That’s still a net-negative result. but it represents an improvement from earlier in the year. when his approval was similar while disapproval ran higher.. For a voting bloc that has helped shape recent election outcomes, even small shifts can carry real political weight.
What makes this particularly notable is the gap between “still underwater” and “slightly improving.” Hispanic voters are often a decisive factor in tight races, so any movement in sentiment tends to get amplified quickly.
The Trump administration is pointing to that uptick as proof that outreach is landing.. In Misryoum coverage. a White House spokesperson said the president has received a record level of support and has continued working to improve conditions for Hispanic Americans. tying the change to economic priorities and the broader pace of policy impact.
Meanwhile, Trump’s standing outside that demographic remains challenging.. The same Misryoum-reported polling shows his overall approval at 36%. with 58% disapproving. and a broader sense of dissatisfaction about the country’s direction.. Ratings across major policy areas are also described as negative. reinforcing the idea that the gains with Hispanic voters have not yet translated into wider public approval.
This matters because it highlights a common political pattern: selective improvement in one group doesn’t automatically erase broader doubts, especially when voters are weighing multiple issues at once.
Separately, other Misryoum-noted polling points to friction closer to home.. An Issues & Insights/TIPP survey cited in the report suggests Republican disapproval has climbed to 18%. the highest level recorded by that pollster. with a small portion of respondents unsure.. Earlier months showed lower levels, suggesting a gradual hardening of views among parts of Trump’s base.
For now, the story is not a sweeping comeback, but a more complicated picture: a modest improvement with Hispanic voters alongside persistent challenges nationally and signs of rising unease within his own party.
