New Poll: Colorado Latino Voters Excited to Vote, Just Not for Cory Gardner

  • 7 Comments

A new tracking poll shows both an increase in enthusiasm for voting among Coloradan Latinos and a distinct preference for presumed Democratic senate candidate John Hickenlooper over incumbent Republican Sen. Cory Gardner.

When Equis Research polled Colorado Latinos over the summer, it was clear Cory Gardner had a lot of work to do. As the Denver Post’s Nic Garcia reported at the time, “U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner is in big trouble with Latinos.”

However that poll from July also noted that fewer than half (48%) of Latino registered voters were “excited” to vote in 2020. According to the latest data released yesterday, that total has jumped to 55%, a significant increase in less than three months.

When asked about the U.S. Senate race, Latino Coloradans expressed a 3-1 preference for a generic Democrat over Gardner (68%-23%). The latest poll, which named Hickenlooper as Gardner’s likely opponent, returned essentially the same results (69%-23%).

The Colorado data also reflected increased support (6%) among Latinos for the Democratic party, along with a three point slide in President Trump’s favorability.

Breaking down the “excited to vote” data by partisan affiliation further exacerbates the challenge Colorado Republicans face in wooing the Latino votes. Here are the totals of “excited voters as divided into partisan categories: “Liberal 67% (+9), Moderate 51% (+12) Conservative 47% (-5).”

As Colorado Politics’ Alayna Alvarez reported last week, Latinos could play a key role in the U. S. Senate race, which is why the Colorado Democratic Latino Initiative hosted Democratic candidates for a breakfast policy and politics discussion.

The Equis poll covered 6,785 Latino voters across eleven states. GBAO Strategies conducted the Colorado postion of poll of 600 registered Latinx voters from Sept. 23-29. Surveys were conducted in English (87%) and Spanish (13%), according to respondent’s preference, with a margin of error of +/- 4.0%.

  1. Speaking of Latinos and Republicans, El Paso nutcase and legislative poser David Williams has been nominated to an improbable post. From R-E-C-A-L-L-S to promoting extreme bills that never pass, Williams is always ready to jump in front of a camera and rant. Now he is a Trump campaign official. (from Facebook)
     

    COLORADO SPRINGS – Chairwoman Vickie Tonkins has appointed State Representative Dave Williams as the Trump Director for the El Paso County Republican Party.
     
    Chairwoman Tonkins stated, “The goal will be to make certain that our local volunteers, who know our community best, will work hand in hand with the experts advising and working in the field for President Trump, Senator Gardner, and the State GOP. ”
     
     
    Chairwoman Tonkins went on to say, “As the only Hispanic millennial Republican in the State House, and with strong ties to local and state parties, as well as the Trump Administration, Rep. Williams is the best person for the job.
     
    As a result of the Colorado Democrats’ discrimination, President Trump and members of his administration have extended numerous White House invitations to Rep. Williams to celebrate the positive contributions of Hispanic Americans and to have meaningful discussions concerning immigration policies and enforcement.
     
    President Trump’s reelection, as well as all Republican nominees on the ballot, will benefit from Chairwoman Tonkins’ decision to appoint Rep. Williams to focus on mobilizing the largest Republican county in Colorado and one of the largest in the nation for success in 2020.
     

     

    1. As the only Hispanic millennial Republican in the State House . . .

      As a result of the Colorado Democrats’ discrimination, . . .

      Man, these lyin’ asshat clowns can’t keep their storyline straight for even two consecutive paragraphs . . .

      . . . Thanks Obama (or something, I guess)?

  2. Williams is Hispanic in the same sense that Adolf Schickelgruber was Jewish – they had that ethnic ancestry, then spent their entire adult lives in self-hating revenge against their reviled forebearers. 
     

    Trump could have no more anti-immigrant, ant-equality, homophobic extreme loyalist than Williams. If Trump is re-elected, Williams would probably get a cabinet post or appointment, as Clarice Navarro did.

  3. Erik,

    I have enormous respect for your reporting but I will take exception to your use of the word "presumed". Perhaps you might add some sort of qualifier to that.

    I do not presume that John "I really don't want to be a senator" Hickenlooper will be the Democratic party nominee to oppose Cory Gardner. Neither do most of my friends and acquaintences. I will suggest you may have been influenced by a wave of unabashed shilling for his Inevitableness.

    Hey …is that a word?  😉
