The Latino Vote: Why it will Affect the Outcome of the U.S. Presidential election. (Workshop will be conducted in Spanish)
AGENDA PRESENTATIONS PHOTO GALLERY  Latinos, who now number 46 million or roughly 15 percent of the U.S. population, account for 9 percent of this country’s eligible voters. That’s why political analysts say Latinos could be the “swing vote” in the fiercely fought presidential election.
We’ll turn our attention in the timely session to this pivotal block of voters who will help choose the next U.S president. We’ll get the latest polls, commentary and research from our panel of experts, who are taking the political pulse of the nation’s Latino communities.
Some 57 percent of registered Latino voters call themselves Democrats or identify with the Democratic Party. Roughly 23 percent say they favor the Republican Party.
How will they vote on Election Day? Will they help send presumptive Republican candidate John McCain to the White House? Or will Latinos choose the Democratic candidate for president?
Come and hear what political analysts, reporters, pollsters and academics have to say in these final weeks before the election. |
