Latinos favor Dems on issues besides immigration

Republicans are not doing well among Latino voters, but the problem is not simply immigration. Latinos lean leftward on a variety of issues such as the minimum wage, healthcare and national security, and they may be trending further in that direction.

Thus, while Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric may have damaged the GOP’s image among Latinos, the party still would likely lose the group by a substantial margin to the eventual Democratic candidate had the billionaire businessman and reality TV star never entered the race.
