[美중간선거] “Black votes ‘Big Democrat votes’ shift to Republicans”

Congressional media reports Latino Republican approval ratings rise to record high

(Chicago = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Hyun = A day before the US mid-term elections on the 8th (local time), black and Latino votes, which have been considered ‘big Democratic votes’, emerged as variables big Republican support from black and Latino voters is stronger than ever.

The Hill, a media outlet specializing in Congress, cited the results of a recent Wall Street Journal (WSJ) poll on the 7th, a day before the election, and reported that “Black and Latino voters support the Republican Party more than ever.”

In the survey, conducted two weeks before the election, 17% of black voters said they would “choose the Republican nominee for the House of Representatives in their constituency.” Only 8% of black voters voted for the Republican nominee in the 2018 midterm elections.

Pritzker’s opponent, Republican nominee Darren Bailey (State Senator), campaigned against him at a black church in south Chicago on the same day, calling for support.

In the case of Latino voters, in August, the Democratic Party’s approval rating was higher than the Republican Party’s by 11 percentage points.

“The Republican Party has made a meaningful effort to win Latino votes,” Dehill said.

At a rally in Florida on the 6th, former President Donald Trump said, “The Republican approval rating among Latino voters is setting a record.” Former President Donald Trump said it appeared.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Democrat, New York, said last month that “the current Democrat-majority House of Representatives lacks a legislative effort to reform immigration.”‘ He raised his voice.

The WSJ poll was conducted on 1,500 voters across the country from the 22nd to the 26th of last month.
