SourceIt’s official: The Democrats have a Hispanic voter problem.
Support for the party’s presidential ticket among the voting bloc that was supposed to be a linchpin of what John B. Judis and Ruy Teixeira memorably dubbed “the emerging Democratic majority” fell from 71% in 2016 to 63% last year even as Joe Biden won the White House, according to the Associated Press.
"One important thing to know about the decline in Hispanic support for Democrats is that it was pretty broad,” top Democratic data-cruncher David Shor told New York magazine after the election. “This isn’t just about Cubans in South Florida. It happened in New York and California and Arizona and Texas.”
The situation in the midterm elections could get much worse for Democrats. Both parties were tied in the generic congressional ballot, which asks voters whether they would prefer Democratic or Republican control of Congress, among Hispanics in a stunning poll conducted for the Wall Street Journal. The Democratic share of the Hispanic vote fell from more than 60% to just 37%, with Republicans also taking 37%, while another 22% were undecided.
