Trump approval slipping among Latino voters
CBS News reports that recent polling — including a New York Times/Siena survey this week and Democratic National Committee–commissioned polls from November 2024, April 2025 and June 2025 — shows Latino approval of President Trump has fallen, largely over economic concerns (groceries, housing, cost of living) and rising worries about immigration enforcement. The story notes concrete poll results (69% disapproval in the NYT/Siena poll; 58% say Trump made the economy worse), quotes Democratic strategists and Latino organizers, and warns the shift could affect November off-year races (New Jersey, Virginia) and Republican hopes for Latino turnout in 2026.
