About this research<\/summary>\n

This Pew Research Center analysis focuses on Latino registered voters and the 2026 midterm election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did we do this?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pew Research Center conducts research to inform the public, journalists and decision-makers. This analysis builds on a larger body of work that explores the views and attitudes of Latino voters in U.S. elections<\/a> and the attitudes and experiences of Latinos in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did we do this?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>We surveyed 5,062 U.S. adults, including 774 Hispanic registered voters, from Sept. 28 to Oct. 4, 2026. Everyone who took this survey is part of the Center\u2019s American Trends Panel<\/a>. The survey was conducted in English and Spanish and represents the views of the full U.S. adult population. Read more about the ATP\u2019s methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the questions used for this analysis<\/a>, detailed responses<\/a> and the survey methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

List of key terms<\/summary>\n

The terms Hispanic<\/strong> and Latino<\/strong> are used interchangeably in this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a previous survey, respondents were asked a question about their voter registration status. In this report, respondents are considered registered voters<\/strong> if they self-report being absolutely certain<\/em> they are registered at their current address. Respondents are considered not registered<\/strong> to vote<\/strong> if they report not being registered or express uncertainty about their registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terms \u201cregistered voters\u201d and \u201cvoters\u201d are used interchangeably in this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This analysis includes comparisons between Latino registered voters and other registered voters. In these cases, the terms other<\/strong> registered voters<\/strong> or other voters<\/strong> refer to those who are not Latino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Validated voters<\/strong> are adult citizens who told us in a postelection survey that they voted in a given general election and have a record of voting in a commercial voter file. Trump voters<\/strong> are validated voters who self-reported that they voted for Republican Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Harris voters<\/strong> are validated voters who self-reported that they voted for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonvoters<\/strong> are those who did not vote in 2024 but were eligible to do so.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Latino registered voters have more positive views of the Democratic Party than the Republican Party overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

About half (53%) have a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, higher than the 44% who said this in the months before the 2024 election. By comparison, 29% have a favorable opinion of the Republican Party today, about the same share as in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Latino registered voters are also more likely to say the Democratic Party cares about \u201cpeople like them\u201d than they are to say the same about the Republican Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Latino voters do not have overwhelmingly positive views of the party they are supporting:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
