Demos’ (Democrats) reversal of GOP gains among Latinos is far from secure

“A quarter century ago, George H.W. Bush pioneered efforts to lure Latinos into the GOP.

Since then, polls have varied widely on the success of these drives. But clearly, many more Hispanics now vote Republican than in 1964, when more than 90 percent of them voted for Lyndon B. Johnson for president.

And now that Latinos are a larger chunk of the electorate, many are assessing their role in the GOPs recent losses and concluding that the GOPs Hispanic gains have been reversed.”
