## Key points

- Young voters strongly favoured House Democrats.
- Hispanic support for Republicans fell from 2024.
- Many voters said their ballot opposed Trump.

## Summary

An Associated Press survey of about 80,000 voters suggests Republicans lost support among young and Hispanic voters in the 2026 midterms compared with Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential coalition. The findings also point to widespread dissatisfaction with Trump and a desire for Congress to play a stronger role in checking the presidency.

About seven in ten voters under 30 backed the Democratic candidate in their House race, while roughly three in ten supported the Republican; young voters were about evenly split between Trump and Kamala Harris in 2024. Hispanic voters were about six in ten for Democrats and one-third for Republicans, compared with roughly four in ten who backed Trump in 2024. Around four in ten voters said they voted to oppose Trump, while about six in ten disapproved of his handling of the presidency.
