Latino Men Swing-Back To Dems After Trump’s Historic Inroads With Group In 2024

MS NOW reports that Democrats are headed for their strongest midterm showing since 1974, with at least 250 House seats and 54 Senate seats, and possibly 260 and 56, once about two dozen races are settled. A separate MS NOW story focuses on Latino men, saying the group moved back toward Democrats after Donald Trump's record showing with them in 2024, according to Daily Caller · MS NOW.

Analyst G. Elliott Morris writes that the MS NOW Voter Poll gave Democrats a 27-point margin among Latinos, against a 3-point edge for Kamala Harris in 2024 by Pew's estimate. In majority-Latino Webb County, Texas, Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico led Republican Ken Paxton by 45 points. Morris adds that rural voters moved 22 points left and that polls understated Democrats, whose projected House popular vote margin is 14 points against a 9-point polling average.

Separately, MS NOW cites a CBS News exit poll showing 62% of Latinos backed Democratic House candidates, and The New York Times puts the Hispanic shift at 28 points. It says voters soured on Trump over the economy, the Iran war and corruption. Florida Republican Rep. Maria Salazar had warned that Hispanics "feel betrayed."
