  • Younger voters (18-29) are more engaged this week, with 60% saying they are “almost certain” to vote, up from 55% last week.

  • Only 52% of Latino voters have been contacted by a political party or campaign, with Republican outreach closing the gap with Democrats.

3. Economic concerns are front and center for Latino voters, while abortion and gun violence are also top of mind

  • Economic issues dominate for Latino voters, with cost of living/inflation (57%) and jobs (34%) being the most important. Concerns are jobs and the economy are especially high among men (42%), younger voters (42%), and GOP Latino supporters (41%).
  • Abortion is the #1 non-economic issue among Latino voters (25%), with gun violence a close second at 24%.

4. Latino voters respond positively to Kamala Harris' economic message

  • 2 out of 3 (66%) of Latino voters are confident that Kamala Harris has an economic plan to improve the lives of everyday people.

5. Donald Trump also carries positive perceptions on the economy

  • 43% of Latino voters are confident that Donald Trump has an economic plan to improve the lives of everyday people.
  • Younger Latino voters (54%) and Men (53%) are most likely to support the Trump economic message.

6. Latino voters overwhelmingly support abortion rights, including a majority of Latino Republicans and Trump supporters

  • 3 out of 4 Latino voters (75%) say that it is wrong to make abortion illegal and take the right to choose away.
  • In particular, 53% of Latino Republicans disagree with making abortion illegal, as do 60% of Latino Trump supporters.

The 2024 National Latino Tracking Poll will run for eight weeks, with weekly updates released every Monday. Each week, 500 Latino voters from across the country are surveyed on their voting intentions, key issues, healthcare concerns, and candidate favorability. The poll offers valuable insight into the evolving priorities of Latino voters as Election Day approaches.
