DIVERSE POLITICAL TRACKER

With less than a year until the 2026 midterm elections, our report from the My Code, Intelligence Center, the largest ongoing survey of multicultural voters in the country, reveals growing fears about government overreach, ICE raids, inflation, and political violence — issues that could reshape voter turnout and preferences heading into the midterms. President Trump’s approval has sunk to an all-time low of 33% among voters of color and key constituencies, driven by dissatisfaction with the nation’s economic direction and policy priorities.

The findings, based on a comprehensive survey of over 3,500 voters across AANHPI, Black, Hispanic, LGBTQIA+, and women voter segments, point to a growing sense of unease across a wide range of demographic groups.

Respondents expressed heightened concerns about political instability, government overreach, affordability, and the erosion of equity-based policies — issues that are resonating deeply within multicultural communities, navigating a rapidly shifting political and economic landscape.

Campaigns in the 2026 midterm elections should be laser-focused on improving the daily lives of American families by finding solutions to the affordability crisis and building communication strategies tailored to specific constituencies among multicultural Americans and their media preferences.

My Code’s Intelligence Center has developed this research series to highlight how political actors can deepen relationships with multicultural voters by understanding how cultural nuances inform their political attitudes and behaviors.
