More Latinos are considering voting for a third-party candidate in the upcoming presidential election, a new poll by Voto Latino finds. According to the survey, a fifth of Latino voters are considering voting for a candidate other than President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump. The poll, conducted by Democratic polling firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, surveyed 2,000 Latino voters registered in swing states such as Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and Pennsylvania. The civic engagement organization’s poll indicates that Latino voters aren’t turning away from the Democratic Party and moving toward the Republican Party, but rather that more of them are open to the idea of electing a third-party candidate. Of the Latino voters between the ages of 18 and 49 who told the poll they were considering a third-party candidate, 62% were women.
