Hispanic American voters have had enough of the DCN Plantation , in record numbers
Democrats are losing Latino voters as Republicans eye opportunities these midterms
Recent polling shows a majority of Latino voters plan to back Democratic candidates in next month's midterm elections, continuing a trend that has held for decades.
But that support is on the decline.
While Democratic strategists make renewed pledges to woo Latino voters, Republicans are also making inroads to appeal to the second-largest and fastest-growing group in the U.S. electorate.
Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha worked on both of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential runs and told NPR that while Senate campaigns have been airing Spanish-language ads for more than six months, a lack of outreach in races for the House of Representatives could cost the party a majority there.
"It's very important for folks to know Democrats are going to win the Latino vote and Latino voters," Rocha said about the November midterms. "But what's happening is we're losing a little support, a little at a time, to Republicans."
~ According to a recent Washington Post-Ipsos poll, Democrats have a 27-point advantage with voters who identify as Hispanic. That's a generous margin, but it's down significantly from the nearly 40-point advantage the party had in 2018.
One of the biggest reasons for this shift, Rocha said, was Republicans have been stepping up their efforts to gain the support of Latino voters.
