2024 Pre-election poll of the hispanic electorate

 

The UnidosUS organization has conducted a pre-election survey of a sample of Latinos in the United States in order to find out their voting intentions and some opinions on the economy and migration. These were the general conclusions of the survey:

Top issues continue to be dominated by pocketbook and economic concerns.

• Inflation: Food and basic necessities, housing/rent, and gasoline are the principal worries regarding inflation
• Jobs and economy: Jobs with better pay and concerns about job security top other job/economic concerns
• Housing: Concerns about costs have spiked, now a top concern across the country (not just California and Florida)
• Healthcare: the costs of insurance and prescription medication are the driving concern for Latino voters
• #4 Crime/guns and Immigration tied. On crime/guns, top concern is that guns and assault weapons are too easy to get.

On immigration, path to citizenship continues to top priorities.

• Latino voters STRONGLY favor a path to citizenship for long-residing undocumented immigrants and Dreamers; of the top 4 priorities, three relate to path to citizenship and protecting long-residing undocumented immigrants
• With respect to enforcement, the priority is cracking down on human smugglers and drug traffickers (overall; increasing border security is ).
• Minimal support for any mass deportation plan

The Priorities of Latino Voters in United States

 

UnidosUS, the nation’s largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization, is unveiling a first-of-its-kind Hispanic Electorate Data Hub, which will provide data on the size and growth of the Latino electorate over the last two decades, a chart of 2024 competitive districts with Hispanic voter influence, and dynamic multi-cycle polling results on Latino perspectives and issue priorities. This includes the results of the most expansive poll on the Hispanic electorate this year, providing timely insights into the perspectives and priorities of this electorate a year out from the 2024 elections.

Janet Murguía, President and CEO, UnidosUS said "Hispanics are the second largest group of voting age Americans and a critical factor in the race for the White House, Congressional balance of power, and beyond. Yet, oversimplifications and mistaken assumptions about these voters persist. We have created this first-of-its kind Hispanic Electorate Data Hub to promote an accurate understanding of this fast-growing group of voters, starting with the largest poll this cycle of Hispanic voters’ perspectives and priorities, including the one in five Latino voters who will be will be casting a vote for the first time in a presidential election. In a landscape of close elections, Hispanic voters are difference-makers, and are putting an exclamation point on the need for parties and candidates to meaningfully engage them and respond to their priorities, which are topped by cost of living, jobs, housing, and gun safety concerns."
