Video/Analysis: Democrats and the Hispanic Vote - A New NDN Presentation
NDN is pleased to release a new 25 minute data-filled presentation which reviews the history of the Hispanic vote over the past two decades, and discusses what we are seeing this year.
You can watch the presentation here.
The presentation's toplines:
- The net raw vote margin for Democrats with Hispanic voters has increased from 700,000 in 2004 to between 4.5m and 5.4m votes in 2020. That is growth, not erosion.
- In the past 20 years Democrats have turned the heavily Mexican-American parts of the US – AZ, CA, CO, NM, NV, TX – far more blue. 2020 was the best year for Democrats in the SW – AZ, CO, NM, NV – in 80 years. 2022 could be better.
- Even with their gains in 2020 Rs fell further behind in this region (yes, erosion). If they can’t make further gains here they will further and further behind, and the region will keep slipping away from them.
