Sixty percent of young Latinos support Biden: poll [View all]

Sixty percent of young Latinos between the ages of 18 and 34 plan to vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the upcoming general election, according to data from a national Telemundo-Buzzfeed News survey of Latino voters.

The poll also found that 60 percent of young Latinos surveyed believe the 2020 election is more important than the 2016 election, with the recent Black Lives Matter demonstrations and the coronavirus pandemic being the driving factors leading them to the polls.

More than 80 percent of young Latinos polled said the coronavirus pandemic has impacted them personally, with 43 percent saying they experienced financial hardship as a result of the health crisis. The poll also found that over 70 percent of Latino and Black young adults reported facing racial discrimination in some form in the past two years.

According to the survey, 55.8 percent of young Latino voters said they've participated in Black Lives Matter protests and 82 percent said the protests are motivating them to vote. More than 70 percent of young Latinos polled said that the coronavirus pandemic is also motivating them to vote, which is virtually the same among their non-Latino counterparts.
