Records on Latino voting preferences in presidential contests stretch back at least nine elections, to Reagan’s 1980 victory over Jimmy Carter. Over the past three-and-a-half decades, Bill Clinton’s reelection in 1996 with 72% of Latino voters vs. Bob Dole’s 21%—a fifty-one point gap—has been the most lopsided outcome recorded. According to our current projections, using LD Vote Predict—Latino Decisions’ survey-based simulation model—we expect to see this record fall next month, as Latino voters cast votes overwhelmingly for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
