It has become clear that Latinos are no longer the “Sleeping Giant” of yesteryear. Instead, they represent a growing part of the U.S. constituency that political candidates need to take seriously and appeal to in meaningful ways with cultural competency.

Another poll by @pewresearch found that the economy is the top issue for Latinos regardless of party affiliation. This tracks with the broader electorate who also rank the economy as the most important issue to the 2024 Presidential vote.

A Sept. 2024 national pre-election poll of 3k Latino eligible voters by @WeAreUnidosUS found that the top 3 most important issues were: . 🔵 inflation / rising cost of living; .🔵 jobs & the economy; .🔵 & a lack of affordable housing / high rents.

Among Hispanic eligible voters, 76 percent are U.S.-born citizens and 24 percent are naturalized U.S. citizens. (@pewresearch).
