Poll: Latino voters over 50 in California, Florida and Arizona are enthusiastic and reject Trump

Hispanic voters aged 50 and over from California, Florida and Arizona are highly motivated to vote in November, according to a new poll by Univision News and AARP taken by Bendixen & Amandi International. Just 48 days before the midterm elections, virtually all the voters interviewed said they plan to vote on November 6.

Two major factors that traditionally motivate Latinos to vote are economy and jobs, on the one hand, and immigration on the other. But this time there is a significant new motivating factor: President Donald Trump.

The Trump factor could work differently in the states examined. Approximately two-thirds of the voters interviewed in Arizona and California expressed an unfavorable opinion of Trump. In contrast, in Florida, the opinions of those interviewed are more evenly divided.

The same partisan division arises when those polled were asked about what direction the country is headed.

The ideological tendencies of Hispanic voters are also evident in their preferences for candidates in the three states.

In what constitutes a symptom of the political polarization in the country, a third of the respondents in the three states said that their main general concern is how divided Americans are.

A large majority also expressed concern that the Russian government will try to interfere in the midterm elections this year the same way it interfered in the 2016 general elections.

The Univision News poll also asked voters about their perceptions of the Democratic and Republican parties, the issues they consider most significant in the midterm elections and their prospects for eventual retirement.
