A new conducted by The Wall Street Journal reports that Hispanic voters are evenly split on their support between the Republican and Democrat parties.
The Hill reports:
While the poll relies on an unusually small sample size of 165 Hispanic registered voters to arrive at its conclusions and has a 7.6 percentage point margin of error, it’s the latest data point in a worrying trend for Democrats. The party has come to rely on the Hispanic vote to win national and local elections and acknowledged its underperformance among the voting block is partially to blame for 2020 defeats in key states like Texas and Florida.
According to the Wall Street Journal, 44 percent of Hispanics would vote for President Biden if the 2024 presidential election were held today, and 43 percent would vote for former President Trump.
The breakdown of congressional support among Hispanics finds a similar tie, with support for Democrats and the GOP tied at 37 percent each.
In keeping with most polls of Hispanic voters, the WSJ survey found greater support for Republicans and Trump among Hispanic men than among Hispanic women.
The WSJ poll comes after other polls found that Democrat pushes to use terms like “Latinx” have failed amongst Hispanics.
