TIME TO VOTE LATINOS!
This November 5, 2024, Latino Americans “must” exercise their right to vote! The unregistered must register to vote. According to a 2019 Gallup Poll, 29% of Latinos identify as conservative, and that same number, 29%, voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election. In the 2022 U.S. House Elections, 39% of Hispanic voters backed Republican candidates and 60% backed Democratic candidates. In the2020 election, President Biden won roughly 65% of Hispanic voters to Trump's 33%.
In 2024, economic issues remain the primary concern for Hispanic voters. In a Wall Street Journal poll, Hispanic men stated that Republicans possessed better economic policy, by a margin of 17 points, while Hispanic women stated that Democrats had better economic policy, by a 10-point margin.
Hispanic voters who are immigrants or the children of immigrants are more likely to vote for the Democratic Party, while Hispanic voters whose ancestors have lived in the United States for multiple generations are more likely to be split or vote for the Republican Party.
It is truly sad that many voters, including Latino voters, vote without being properly informed about the issues! Are you informed?
