Exclusive poll: Inflation hits Latino support for Democrats – By Margaret Talev & Russell Contreras (Axios) / March 24, 2022
Latino support for Democrats is softening as inflation replaces COVID-19 as the top worry, according to the latest Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll in partnership with Noticias Telemundo.
Why it matters: The survey does not show a mass defection to the Republican Party. But two trends since our last survey in December are hurting President Biden and his party: waning intention to vote in the midterms and a new GOP advantage on which party is better for the economy.
- About half of the 1,005 U.S. Latino adults surveyed said they voted in the 2020 election.
What they’re saying: “Getting prices under control is very clearly the number one priority for the majority of Hispanics and Latinos, and it underscores the challenges Biden is facing now,” said Ipsos pollster and senior vice president Chris Jackson.
