A Pew Research Center poll found that 55% of Hispanic registered voters said they viewed their vote for Congress as a vote against President Donald Trump, offering a snapshot of political sentiment before Tuesday’s U.S. midterm elections.
The survey covered 5,062 U.S. adults, including 774 Hispanic registered voters, during fieldwork from Sept. 28 to Oct. 4, 2026. Among that subgroup, 14% viewed their congressional vote as support for Trump, while 30% said he was not much of a factor. The three responses refer to how participants viewed the president’s role in their congressional choice.
That distinction matters because the question did not ask only which party or candidate respondents planned to choose. Instead, it measured whether they connected their congressional vote with support for or opposition to Trump. The poll records respondents’ reported views; it does not show who ultimately voted or how the election ended.
A separate finding in the Pew survey measured preferences among Hispanic voters who backed Trump in 2024. Pew reported that 65% in that subgroup said they would choose their district’s Republican House candidate if the election were held when they were polled, compared with 11% for the Democratic candidate; 14% named another candidate and 10% were unsure. The survey also featured in earlier EconoTimes coverage of Trump 2024 supporters.
The figures concern different questions and groups: the 55% measure came from Hispanic registered voters overall, while the candidate-preference figures covered those who backed Trump in 2024. They show why a response about Trump’s role should not be read as a direct estimate of every Hispanic voter’s candidate choice.
CBS News said The Daily Report featured journalist Enrique Acevedo discussing how Hispanic Americans might influence Tuesday’s midterms. The segment addressed the group’s potential political significance, while the Pew survey measured views reported by registered voters rather than votes cast. Voters will cast ballots in the U.S. midterm elections Tuesday, Nov. 3.
