Are you sure about that, Okie?
“Latino Decisions,” a national Hispanic polling organization based in Dallas, had Republican Dan Patrick losing to the “wise Latina” by 68%-29%.
Latino Decisions does not do election day exit polling. The numbers above come from their election eve telephone poll.
It's certainly possible that election day polls are more accurate than election eve polls, but Latino Decisions is very well respected. Only the Pew Hispanic Center polls are considered more accurate than Latino Decisions, and Pew did not poll on this particular race.
According to the Latino Decisions election eve poll, every big name Republican in Texas lost the Hispanic vote decisively in 2014...
Senator Cornyn lost: 69%-30%
Rep. George P. Bush lost: 62%-33%
Gov. Greg Abbot lost: 68%-32%
Speaking of Pew, their numbers support my claim.
Pew did poll the Senate and Governor's race. For the Senate, Cornyn won the Hispanic vote 48-47. For Governor, Abbott gained 44% to Abortion Barbie's 55%. The poll I saw had it slightly closer -- something like 47/52.
As you note, Pew didn't report on the Lt. Gov. race, but the other poll had Patrick leading Letitia van de Putte (a Hispanic) -- which, in view of the Cornyn and Abbott results, certainly seems plausible.
