Latino Voters in 17 Swing Districts Are Swinging Hard Away From Trump — POLL

  • Democrats now lead Latino voters by 23 points on the 2026 generic House ballot in 17 battleground districts — more than double their 11-point edge with the same voters in 2024.
  • Texas Latino voters in a 300-person subsample went from an even 44-44 split in 2024 to a 56-36 Democratic lead now; a pair of Florida swing districts swung from a single-point Trump edge to a 13-point margin favoring Democrats.
  • Cost of living, not immigration, remains the top-ranked concern, even as 64% of these voters view ICE unfavorably and 62% take a dim view of how deportations are being carried out.
