A poll conducted by Quinnipiac University reveals 46% of Hispanic voters prefer GOP control of the House, compared to 42% favoring Democrats. The GOP now leads Hispanic support in both the House and Senate, with a 4-point lead in the House and 1-point lead in the Senate. Much of this support is likely caused from emphases on inflation, abortion, crime, and education, issues where Hispanics lean conservative. Previous polls showed Democrats had a 25-point lead over Republicans among Hispanic voters.
From The Daily Caller:
The party’s gain of Hispanic support comes after a sustained push for voter engagement with Hispanic communities. Since 2020, the GOP has opened 21 Hispanic community centers across the country, mostly in major cities, with dedicated staff to turn out Hispanic and Latino voters, according to a list provided by the RNC to the DCNF. The RNC has also started the “Republican Civics Initiative,” primarily to help Hispanic conservatives who are lawful permanent residents of the United States pass the naturalization civics test and become U.S. citizens, thereby becoming eligible to vote. The first graduation ceremony for the program was held in September, at El Doral, Florida, according to an RNC press release. ... The approach has obtained some results, with Republican Rep. Maya Flores, an immigrant from Mexico, winning a special election in Texas’s 34th Congressional District, located in a South Texas border region. The district, where Hispanics comprise 84% of the population, had previously elected a Democrat in every federal election over the last decade.
