Summary:An estimated 34.5 million Hispanic Americans are eligible to vote this year, making Latinos the fastest-growing racial and ethnic group in the U.S. electorate since the last midterm elections. The number of Hispanic eligible voters has increased by 4.7 million since 2018, representing 62% of the total growth in U.S. eligible voters during this time. Although then-President Donald Trump made gains among Hispanics in 2020, Latino registered voters are still more likely to say they will support the Democratic candidate rather than Republican candidate in their U.S. House district race, according to an August 2022 Pew Research Center survey. In midterm elections, turnout rates among Hispanic Americans have typically trailed those of some other groups.
