Earlier today, America’s Voice and Latino Decisions released the first of three waves of national polling of the Latino electorate … The survey was designed to measure how immigration policy and politics are shaping the views of Latino voters as the 2016 election approaches. …
Consistent with the broader perceptions of the Democratic and Republican Parties, as Figure 3 summarizes, Latino voters have diverging opinions of the parties’ presidential candidates. Specifically, the figure reports the share of respondents having either a very or somewhat favorable opinion or very or somewhat unfavorable opinion of Clinton, Sanders, Trump, Cruz, and John Kasich. While both Democratic candidates have total favorable ratings above 60%, among the GOP candidates, only Cruz has a favorability rating exceeding 30% and all three Republicans are viewed more unfavorably than favorably.
