Variation in Congressional Vote Among Latinos

Although 72% of the Colorado Latino electorate reported voting for a Democrat for the US House in their district, there are some important differences across the state:

• Political independents were less supportive of Dems at 55%, and while 79% of moderates voted for a Democrat, only 29% of conservatives did so.

• Foreign-born and Spanish speaking Latino voters were 10% more likely to vote for a Democrat than US-Born/English dominant Latinos.

• Young Latinos under 30 were highly supportive of Dems at 78%, but only 63% among Latinos 50+ years of age.

• Across districts, where we have large enough samples to report, 63% of Latinos in CD-1 voted for a Democrat, compared to 75% in CD-8.
