The real tea? The political landscape is shifting, and Latino voters are lowkey moving back to the Democrats as the midterms heat up. According to a fresh poll from NBC News and Telemundo, the GOP is losing some of the major ground they gained with this demographic back in 2024. ## The numbers game The poll, which surveyed 800 registered Latino voters between Sept. 21 and Sept. 28, found that 69% of respondents disapprove of how President Donald Trump is handling his job, while only 27% approve. When it comes to policy, it’s giving major pushback: roughly 66% of those polled feel that Trump’s deportation plans have gone too far. Additionally, 75% say he has missed the mark on the economy and the rising cost of living. If the election were held today, 59% of these voters want the Democrats in charge of Congress, while only 35% are backing the Republicans. This is a massive jump compared to 2024, when Democrats held a much tighter 12-point lead. To keep it 100, the GOP is still performing better than they were a decade ago—back in 2016 and 2018, their support among this group was only in the low 20s. ## Trump’s take While the stats aren't exactly in his favor, President Donald Trump isn't sweating it. At a rally in Dayton, Ohio, this past Saturday, he slammed the data, saying the polls "don't account for the fact that Trump is out campaigning." He told his supporters, "We're going to put them down once and for all." ## What this means for you As we barrel toward the midterms, the House of Representatives is currently a nail-biter. Democrats are projected to have 215 seats to the GOP's 201, leaving 19 toss-up races that will decide who clinches the majority. If you’re tracking the race, pay attention to these final swing districts—the outcome will basically dictate the next two years of D.C. vibes.
