University of Central Florida Survey: Latinos are “Purple Voters’ Who Don’t Cast Ballots Along Party Lines

“Most Latinos don’t vote along political party lines. In fact, party affiliation is the least important factor they consider when casting their ballots, according to a University of Central Florida political scientist’s survey.

The survey was conducted earlier this year with a sample of Latinos in Osceola County who voted during the 2000 and 2004 elections. A team of undergraduate students led by UCF assistant professor Annabelle Conroy interviewed more than 200 residents, including whites, Hispanics and African-Americans. The survey was a pilot project that lays the groundwork for a larger survey and provides a good indication of basic trends among Latino voters, Conroy said.”
