Milwaukee - On Wednesday, the Hispanic News Network U.S.A. (HNNUSA) released its poll findings indicating Milwaukee's South side Latino voters favor Democrats over Republicans for the November 2nd election. HNNUSA polled 2,000 Latinos in Milwaukee's South side, 20 said they are voting for Republican, 1,965 indicated they will cast their votes for Democrats and a mere 15 of those polled said they will vote Independent next Tuesday.
Latinos who are voting for Republican, 12 are males between the ages of 18 to 57, half indicated they have lived in Wisconsin for more 15 years. Five are enrolled at a credited college or university, four are college graduates and 3 are skilled workers with high school diplomas and some technical college background.
Eight are women who said they will vote Republican, they fall between the ages of 19 to 50. Three are attending a credited college, two have professional careers, one is a housewife, and two are executive assistants. Most of the women have lived in the state for more than 18 years.
Those voting Independent are five males and ten women, the men are between the ages 18 to 35. Three of the men are skilled workers with some technical college, two others are unemployed. Six women are housewives, and four others are working in retail and sales for the last two years. They all indicated they have lived in the state for more then six years.
Those of the 1,965 voting for Democrats about 60 percent are males and 40 percent are women. The men are between the ages of 18 to 60 and the women are between 18 to 62.
About 25 percent of the males are skilled workers, with some type of technical education, 10 percent have no college education, but graduated from high school. 25 percent of the men indicated some type of college degrees, with professional careers.
Twenty five percent of the women graduated from high school and are housewives and 15 percent indicated some type of college degree and most have more than two jobs.
Of those polled, 97 percent said they voted Democrat in 2008, and only 3 percent voted for either Independent or third party candidates.
Most important issues facing the Wisconsin Latino community today are; jobs, gentrification in the South side, immigration reform, health care, having some type of driving licenses for undocumented drivers, the DREAM Act, keep their homes from being foreclosed, and keeping a similar Arizona SB 1070 from being enacted in the state. Were some of the few issues indicated by those polled.
From those polled, more than 90 percent believed Democrats have a better dialogue with Latinos and Democrats have at least attempted more than several times to get an immigration reform bill passed, but attempts failed due to Republican opposition to move the bill forward. They are willing to continue to support Democrats, so that they can actually accomplished what they promised, compared to Republicans. Latinos who were polled indicated that Republicans were less likely to support or even push for an immigration reform bill after the November election, if in control of Congress. Republicans have created a barrier and have failed to compromise with Hispanics on the immigration reform issue and other issues affecting them.
About 75 percent of those polled indicated, the Republican backed "NO Vote" ad campaign in Nevada launched by Latinos for Reform headed by Robert de Posada to keep Hispanics at home and for them not to vote was one of the determining factors to get out to the polls this upcoming November and vote. A majority of those polled said, they will take a friend or family member to vote also.
An estimated 40 million Latinos live in the U.S. and by 2050, Hispanics will make up 100 million of the population. In 2008, more than 2 million Latinos voted totalling 9.7 million, 84% of registered Hispanic voters than in any previous election in the country, according to Census data. The Latino voting surge created a voting block and political empowerment for Hispanics. Today, there are at least 19 million Latino eligible voters in the U.S.
Most polls suggesting Republicans leading by double degits in major elections throughout the country failed to include Hispanics in their polls. Other factors about Latinos have also been excluded from major polls, but a fact remains that 2/3 of registered U.S. Hispanic voters are Democrats, compared to 1/4 of Latino voters who are Republican. In fact, since 2006, the GOP or the Republican Party began losing their Latino base voters when extreme conservatives made major changes and influenced the GOP to adopt an agenda blocking a path for citizenship for more than 13 million undocumented immigrants.
The latest in Arizona, a federal judge ruled that people voting or registering to vote weren't required to prove citizenship at the voting polls.
