Marilyn MonHoe 11,011 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The Latino Community Foundation (LCF) and Latino Decisions announced the results of their California statewide Latino poll that found 74 percent of registered Latino voters are certain they will vote in the presidential primary on March 3rd. California is the largest prize of the Democratic primary contests with more than 400 pledged delegates up for grabs. California also has the largest number of Latino eligible voters — 7.7 million — of any state. “With over 7 million eligible voters, Latinos are poised to decide who will be the candidate to run against Trump in November. The candidates who fail to engage Latinos in California — the largest Latino voting bloc in the country — do so at their own risk,” said Jacqueline Martinez Garcel, CEO of LCF. “We are paying attention to who shows up to listen and connect with our communities. We are also registering to vote in record numbers. In California, 81 percent of eligible residents are registered to vote, the highest percentage since 1952. The number of registered Latino voters is at all time high—with nearly five million now registered to vote.” “In 2018, we witnessed a 93% increase in the Latino vote in California from just four years earlier. In 2020, we are expecting yet another massive increase in the Latino vote, starting in the March primary. Voters are concerned about current political and anti-immigrant climate we face as a nation and they are getting ready to hit the polls in 2020,” said Matt Barreto, Co-founder of Latino Decisions. “It is very important for all candidates to come to California and engage the Latino community if they want to win our votes.” The California Democratic Party will be hosting a historic Real America Presidential Forum in collaboration with Univision at its convention in Long Beach, on Saturday, Nov. 16, both former Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren will not be attending. The poll found that among registered Latino voters who plan to participate in the Democratic primary in California, 31 percent would vote for Senator Bernie Sanders. The other candidates rounding out the top five are former Vice President Joe Biden, 22 percent; Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, 11 percent; former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, 9 percent; and California Sen. Kamala Harris, 8 percent. A generational split emerged between younger and older Latino voters. Among Latino voters age 18 to 39 — the largest share of the Latino electorate — Sanders was preferred by 38 percent compared to 15 percent for Biden. Among Latino voters over the age of 50, Biden was preferred 35 percent to 19 percent for Sanders. The poll revealed that the top three issues for Latinos going into the March primary are lower health care costs, more affordable housing, and improving wages and income.

Marilyn MonHoe 11,011 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 This poll makes sense since Bernie also has the most Latino contributions There may be some candidates doing well in states like Iowa but they'll never win the nomination if they're polling in single digits with Latinos Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
