Why does it appear that Democrats are losing the Latino vote?

Why the Latino vote is a growing problem for Democrats


A series of recent polls indicate that Latino voters, long a reliably Democratic bloc, are becoming more Republican ahead of the November midterms.

A Republican Senate aide heraldedthe numbers from a Marist survey last week showing 52% support for the GOP among Latinos, and just 39% support for Democrats, while a progressive writer voiced skepticism about the results of just one poll.

And while it’s a good rule to look at aggregate polling data rather than just one survey — especially one like the Marist poll, which has a huge margin of error and a small sample size — the numbers are generally in line with a larger shift: Latino voters are trending away from Democrats.

Why does it appear that Democrats are losing the Latino vote?

Hello:

Well, history tells us that the party in power LOSES voters in the mid term election.. So, instead of pulling out their hair because history is repeating itself, Dems chill..

Excon, this is true. However, I've never seen such turn against the party in power than I am witnessing right now. Democrats are going to get slaughtered in November. I think you are looking for weak excuses for the inevitable Republican landslide 6 months in advance of the mid terms.

Hello hater:

I've told you countless times that I don't need validation for my politics.. It's like baseball.. The best team doesn't win every game.

1. Dems aren't chilling. They're panicking.

2.Losing power at midterms has happened before. What hasn't happened is a mass exodus of Latino voters and a 14% swing in approval from 9 percent favoring Dems to the current -5%.
