In a recent TelevisaUnivision poll, Latinos were asked about the ways they get information about candidates in the context of the upcoming November elections. They were also asked to rank how influential certain aspects of politics are in how they cast their vote. Researchers found that party loyalty (50%) ranked behind debates (68%) candidate interviews (64%), political programming and news (58%) and articles and online publication (53%) and even party loyalty (50%) on the list.
The results seem to signal that Latinos seem split on the importance of a party's history and legacy when it comes to deciding which candidate to vote for. But the findings also raises the question: have Latinos benefited more from Democratic or Republican parties in the past?
