For Latino's who vote, and they must get out VOTE!!!!
Latino voters in Arizona support Sen. Mark Kelly by nearly 40 point margin, Univision poll finds.
This is Univision poll.
Nevada isnt the only western state where Latinos could help decide control of the U.S. Senate. In Arizona, continued polling from Univision and its partners has Sen. Mark Kelly ahead of right-wing extremist Blake Masters by 4 points, with 11% undecided. But among the states registered Latino voters, the former astronaut leads by nearly 40 points.
Latino voters, who represent 22.8% of the state's total electorate, according to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO), back Kelly by a large 60% to 23% margin, and non-Hispanic white voters favor Masters by 46% to 39%, Univision said in its report.

The polling, conducted by Univision, the Center for Latino/os and American Politics Research at Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University also shows support for Proposition 308, the measure opening in-state tuition rates to young undocumented immigrants who have grown up in the state. Among registered Latinos in the state, 68% support the proposition. Support is 55% among registered Arizonans overall.
The measure has been supported by dozens of state Republicans and earned the endorsement of former President Barack Obama just this week, who called it the right thing to do. Polling on the measure has been encouraging, especially considering that the proposition that initially barred higher education fairness to undocumented young people passed with support from two-thirds of voters more than 15 years ago.
Latinos and Arizonans overall also favor addressing both legalization for undocumented immigrants and border security. Republicans have often pushed a border security first approach that only seeks to delay long-overdue legalization. But when asked if they agreed with addressing border security first with a focus on legalization later, or addressing both at the same time, 68% of Latinos and 57% of Arizonans overall picked the second option. Support for a pathway to citizenship is overwhelming among Latino voters at 82%. But its also strong among Arizonans overall at 64%.
