Texas poll: Democrats' losses among Hispanics are only just beginning
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com ^ | Aug 12, 2022

It's nothing new anymore to point out that Hispanics in Texas are in the middle of a political realignment. Rep. Mayra Flores's (R-TX) special election victory in South Texas this summer established this phenomenon as something quite real.

But now, we have some polling data specifically for Texas Hispanics from which we can judge the size and scope of Democrats' problems. The short version is that they're already in big trouble, but there's a lot more room for their situation to get worse in the coming months and years.

Patrick Ruffini of Echelon Insights, Leslie Sanchez of Impacto Group, and well-known pollster Lance Tarrance have released results from a survey of 1,200 Hispanic voters in Texas.

First of all, they found the two parties in a dead heat ahead of the election this fall — 43% to 43%. Within the South Texas subsample, Democrats' mere 2-point lead implies that Republicans could carry all three of the three congressional districts in the lower Rio Grande Valley. Keep in mind that, not long ago, these seats were originally created by Republicans specifically to concentrate Democratic votes.

But that's just the starting point for the transformation that is occurring...

For example, fully 61% of these Hispanic respondents were "bothered by the direction" of the current ultra-woke Democratic Party. What are these voters' top pet peeves about today's Democrats? The fact the party "supports government welfare handouts for people who don't work" (18%) and "socialism" (14%) and "focuses mainly on race and gender issues" (12%).

Respondents gave the Republican Party a 15-point lead over Democrats as the party more associated with "hard work," an 8-point lead as the party more supportive of small businesses, and a 7-point lead as the party better for fixing the immigration system.

This is old news.

And why Deep State had to steal the 2016 election.

Working class Hispanics tend to not get along well with ghetto blacks, something which college liberals don’t get.

They also resent blacks getting preferential treatment.

I think there was a “not” left out of one sentence. I believe it should read:

It should also be pointed out that voters from different Hispanic origins (e.g. Puerto Rican, Cuban, Venezuelan, Mexican) will not necessarily follow the same patterns.

Already the political class are activating push propagandizing operations to bring other third world groups to be the foot soldiers of ethnic replacement.

This is a Texas pole. So hopefully it keeps Beto out of the governors seat. The Senate is a lost cause. Too many bad candidates

Democrat losses in any group can be compensated by adjustments to the algorithm in the voting machines. The Republican Party won’t mind at all.

Mexicans are about to become the largest demographic in LA County at 50%. The white, racist BLM females running the county will soon fall. When LA County falls, the white, leftist power structure running California is finished.

So that means whites are eligible for minority preferences?

This kind of propaganda almost always accompanies surges of illegals since the late 90’s.

That is an interesting take considering I currently live in LA County. However, the state is run by the two San Francisco factions of the Democratic Party.

“However, the state is run by the two San Francisco factions of the Democratic Party.”

Care to expand on that? I ask because San Fran doesn’t have the demographic white population to control the state. Mexicans in LA County do.

San Francisco Demographics
White: 44.87% Asian: 34.33% Other race: 7.70% Two or more races: 7.17%. Total population: 887,711

https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-cities/san-francisco-ca-population

Total Hispanic or Latino in LA County - 4,687,889

That’s five times more Mexicans in LA County than the entire population of San Fran.

So, how do less than 400,000 whites in San Fran control nearly 5 million Mexicans in LA County?

Running the biggest dork in the world, Frances as ‘beto’ fake Mexican will seriously do a lot of damage for them.

Yep. The 24/7/365 BLM messaging has worn out their patience.

If our side can convert them, I will agree with you completely.

Right now, our state is controlled by those San Francisco democrats.

I think it was referring to native born Hispanic Americans.

Does not matter. It’s not the native born they need to sell.
