Latino voters are already turning their backs on Trump in Pennsylvania, despite the president breaking through with the demographic in the state in the 2024 election. He secured 41 percent of their votes in the last election—up from 27 percent in 2020, largely appealing to young men. That 14-point increase narrowed the Democratic margin among Latino voters from 42 points in 2020 to 18 points in 2024. But a GOP strategist said the tide is already turning, just four months into Trump 2.0. “It should be a blaring alarm bell for the GOP as the 2026 midterms appear on the horizon,” the anonymous strategist told Politico, citing two polls that show a slump in Latino support. The Pew Research Center found that just 27 percent of the demographic in the state is happy with Trump’s performance. A New York Times/Siena College poll put the figure at 26 percent. The consultant added: “The slide in support makes sense—it’s because these voters aren’t hearing any semblance of a positive message from the GOP. On immigration and the economy, two core issues for these mostly working-class voters, it’s doom and gloom on English and Spanish media."
