Axios poll: Latinos’ slow drift from Dems

Axios is delivering tough news for vulnerable Democrats in districts with big Hispanic populations, like Gabe Vasquez, whose district is 60% Hispanic and won by 0.7% in 2022.

Upon reading more, this shift away from Democrats is bad news for Vasquez.

• “The more pieces are in play, the harder it’s going to be for any Democratic candidate to thread the needle.”
   
• “When you’re talking about elections that are won by a percentage point, small losses can make a difference.”

“For years, Gabe Vasquez and the Democrat Party have taken Hispanic voters for granted by ignoring the issues that are most important to them. Under Biden’s failing economy, it’s clear New Mexico Hispanics are realizing Vasquez isn’t the guy for them.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
