Latinos and the 2018 Election

There hasn’t been much polling specifically of Latinos in the 2018 election cycle and the subsamples in most polls are small enough not to be very trustworthy. So it’s nice to see Latino Decisions out of the gate with a tracking poll of Latinos that they will do every week until the elections.

Their first poll is now available. Topline for the Democrats for the House vote is good — a 70–22 advantage among likely voters. On the less positive side, mobilization leaves something to be desired — about three-fifths say they have not been contacted yet concerning their vote. This is not an election when you want to leave any votes on the table!
