In Midterms, Dems Gain With Young Voters, Slip With Hispanics








I thought young voters were fleeing the party and unlikely to vote?

4. That's probably true in Western states. Not sure what kind of blind Gallup used.

How many Hispanics did they interview? in what states? What was the voter ID breakdown?

Besides, the immigration debate has been on the back burner on Capitol Hill.

2. Interesting
Are Hispanics going to the ReThuglicans? Surely not, and yes, Surely, I did not read the article. It appears on the chart that
Thugs have remained consistently unsupported by Hispanics for the last 7 months but the Dems have lost 20 points. Where did they go?

9. That is very odd probably due to the whole border issue, it's More a case they need to defend the...

hispanic issues more vocally tell their stories more frequently. Than it being the President's fault, the debate has to be won and there's no better people to make the case for hispanic issues than themselves. Giving up, is surefire way for things to get worse. To bring everything to its knees the GOP never, ever stopped pushing for decades and neither should we and step it up a notch too. Relentlessness, is the only guarantee of progress any slowing down change becomes only faraway dream once again. Sure the alternative is be mad vote mad, and surprise surprise you get mad people in power, we all should be careful what we wish for. A person cannot vote on emotion only logic and facts nothing more or less.

10. It probably doesn't help...
That the dems and the white house signed off on and agreed with throwing however many millions of dollars it was at "reinforcing the border". Especially after everything else has to be deficit neutral and there's no money for, THAT they found...what was it...$600 Million for?. I'm sure many looked at that and saw that rather then addressing real immigration reform, instead they threw money and resources at border security to keep people out (while not doing the same on our northern border).
