The Grand Ole Party isn’t looking so grand these days for Latino voters. According to a recent NBC/Telemundo poll only 22% of Latinos have a favorable view of the GOP, compared to 37% of white voters.
Newser says the rift shows the gap in beliefs between Latinos and White’s. For example 70% of Caucasian voters support Arizona immigration reform, while only 31% of Latino voters support the initiative.
Latinos also give President Obama a larger approval rating: Latinos (54%), whites (34%). While 58% of Latinos say they trust Democrats to protect their rights, with only 11% saying the same of the GOP.
While the Latino vote is important, the GOP has the backing of another large group, suburban white women.
