Latinos and the 2010 Elections: Strong Support for Democrats; Weak Voter Motivation

Latinos and the 2010 Elections: Strong Support for Democrats; Weak Voter Motivation, by Mark Hugo Lopez, Associate Director, Pew Hispanic Center

  • “In a year when support for Democratic candidates has eroded, the party’s standing among one key voting group-Latinos-appears as strong as ever. Two-thirds (65%) of Latino registered voters say they plan to support the Democratic candidate in their local congressional district, while just 22% support the Republican candidate, according to a nationwide survey of Latinos. If this pro-Democratic margin holds up on Election Day next month, it would be about as wide as in 2008, when Latinos supported Barack Obama for president over John McCain by 67% to 31%.”
