Latino voters in California still reluctant to embrace GOP candidates, poll shows

Latino voters, who have helped to propel California's leftward political swing over recent years, remain reluctant to embrace Republican candidates as the November general election nears, a new Los Angeles Times/USC poll shows.

Registered voters who identified themselves as Latino backed Democrat Jerry Brown by a 19-point margin over Republican Meg Whitman in the race for governor.

In the race for U.S. Senate, incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer held a 38-point lead over Republican Carly Fiorina among registered Latino voters, five times the lead she held among white voters.

To allow a more precise look at this key voter group, the new poll, sponsored by The Times and the USC College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, supplemented its sample of registered California voters by interviewing 400 Latino registered voters in either English or Spanish.

The poll did not directly test the effect of their immigration stances on Whitman and Fiorina, but the results on other questions suggested the issue is significant. In both races, Latinos gave Democrats an advantage in handling immigration by at least 20 points, higher than for all other issues except healthcare.

All the more reason the border should’ve been sealed decades ago.

What a shocker!

In California, you don’t even have to show ID to vote.

I left California 4 years ago, as I knew it would collapse
under the weight of illegasl immigrant mooches, and white collar unions.

In California, you don’t even have to show ID to vote.

Demonrats have made it illegal to ask. You can also register without proof of citizenship.

the la slimes push poll was cooked up to promote another talking point which is “ see the evil gop gringos are losing so get out in vote against them ... see all the other latins hate gop too so vote right .... blah...”

THis was a well cooked up push poll which was meant to promote anmesty and GOP hatred all in one nice package.

You work hard enough at obnoxiously pushing people away from your side, they tend to take you at your word. Why wouldn’t they.

You don't have to push them away. No handouts, no Black votes and few Latino votes. It isn't racial from our side but it is from theirs because they stick together to get what they want and replace the mostly White taxpaying population (except for their rich White Democrat puppet-masters.) Even Blacks and Latinos who work stick together with those who don't because family and race comes first.

Whites have been lied to in order to divide them. You aren't going to divide Blacks and Latinos because they know what they want and part of that is a Black and Latino America paid for by somebody else until there isn't anybody else. Whites are too f*ing stupid, fat and politically lazy to stick together and you're dreaming.

Working Latinos and Blacks will get sick of it but they won't join us. They'll just quit and this country will be just another Afro-Mexico s*hole run by a handful of super-rich landlords (White, but it won't be you and me and the Blacks and Latinos won't be living next door to them, so their White color won't bother,) just the way they like it.

If I'm wrong in 20 years, I'll be happy to eat this post.

the white collar unions are here are irrational and dangerous element.
you are very right and we are leaving once my contract is up.

[rrrod]

they mean mexicans..or faux mexicans.
Cannot group mexicans in with Latins. Its been tried and the Latins dont want them.

Let them STAY on the ‘RAT Plantation and STAY poor.

If they can’t add two + two and get the right answer, what makes anyone think he can use “reason” with them.

If you want to know where the ‘RAT voting blocs are in any given area, look in the poor sections.

They never give up voting ‘RAT because of the “promises”, even though they never materialize.

They say that the definition of insanity to to keep doing the same thing over and over and over, each time expecting to get a different result.

It’s more like the definition of bovine stupidity.

“You can bet that most Latinos in California have relatives that are illegals. Most illegals may come over for a job, but once here it is near impossible for them to resist the politics of envy when they are told by Democrats that the rich gringos were given everything they have (Democrats say tax cuts are the president giving us money) or stole it from them. And when they have kids here and all the free services are shown to them they are not voting for the right to take a low paying job.

California is insane, look at the budget. Look at how they handleed electricity prices. A perfect example of what not to be. “

These people are useless they destroy where ever they squat.

There is a huge difference between Hispanics that are Protestant, and those that are Catholic, when it comes to being Americanized and conservative.

This is why democrats want Amnesty.

But the liberal media many blame it on Republicans as if they are all suicidal.
