Ready for a fight: voter enthusiasm increases among US Hispanics UU







(Reuters) - Hispanics are more interested in voting this year than in the last midterm elections in the US Congress. UU In 2014, his enthusiasm exceeds that of all US adults. UU., According to a national survey of Reuters / Ipsos published on Sunday.

The poll also revealed that likely Hispanic voters are inclined almost twice as much to support Democrats for the House of Representatives as Republicans in Tuesday's election. 

Voter registration groups are using Republican President Donald Trump's nationalist and anti-immigrant rhetoric as an opportunity to increase Latino enthusiasm. In an illustration of his passion, a group that is part of an alliance that has reached more than 1 million potential voters in Arizona took its name from the Spanish word for "fight." 

Most opinion polls and political candidates expect Democrats to win the 23 seats they need to take over the House. Republicans are favored to maintain control of the Senate.  

Latinos could play a crucial role in several races, from the battles of the Senate in Arizona and Texas to the races close to the Senate and the governor of Florida. In California, the burgeoning Latino population has helped bring into play some of the Republican-controlled House districts that Democrats hope will change. 

The Reuters / Ipsos survey, conducted between September 1 and October 29, found that 36 percent of Hispanic voters said they were "safe" to vote, compared to 27 percent in 2014. That increase It is almost double the increase of five percentage points in the vote. Enthusiasm among all Americans during the same period, according to the survey. 

Enthusiasm appears especially high among Hispanic Democrats.  

Forty-two percent of Hispanic Democrats said they were "safe" to vote, compared with 29 percent in 2014. Among likely Hispanic voters, 60 percent said they would vote for a Democratic candidate in the House, and 32 percent would support a Republican. 

Hispanics are a politically diverse group, with 55 percent of likely voters identifying themselves as Democrats, 31 percent as Republicans and 12 percent as independents, according to the survey. 

Just over half, 53 percent, of likely Hispanic voters said they were "very motivated" to elect a candidate for Congress who opposes Trump, compared to 43 percent of all likely voters, the 75 percent of likely Democratic voters and 9 percent of likely Republican voters. 

"Make your voice heard" 

For candidates in border states with large Hispanic populations such as Arizona, a fundamental question is whether Latino voters will appear in large numbers on Tuesday.  

The voter bloc has always had potential for the Democratic Party, but it often disappoints. The unprecedented Hispanic participation in 2014 was a warning sign for both parties. 

Bea Nevarez expects to turn around and register 800 people to vote this year. In the last days before the election, she went door-to-door to encourage people to vote in Tucson. 

Nevarez, 18, works for a group called "Lucha," a word in Spanish that means "struggle" or "struggle." She is a partisan affiliate of One Arizona, a large alliance that says she has touched 1.5 million doors in the state. year, part of a broad base effort to reverse the decline in Latino participation. One Arizona says it has registered 200,000 voters this year. 

"I'm here trying to get your voice heard," Nevarez tells reluctant voters. 

His persistence paid off when he knocked on the door of José Alberto and Norma Moreno, Mexican immigrants who are now US citizens. 

Sitting at the kitchen table, José Alberto Moreno, 62, told Nevarez he had no intention of voting. 

"I do not believe in any of that, all politicians are liars," said Moreno, who works in a furniture store. 

But Nevarez insisted, getting involved in a conversation that finally turned to medical attention, Moreno's main concern. After a few minutes, he agreed to vote. 

"I'm going to do it now, she convinced me," said Moreno. 

The Republican National Committee said it has also approached Arizona voters this year, as part of a campaign in 11 states. 

The 29 million Latinos in the United States make up nearly 13 percent of eligible voters this year, but their participation rate has declined since 2006, according to the Pew Research Center. Only 27 percent of eligible Latinos voted in the last midterm elections in 2014, and only 16 percent of those between 18 and 35 years old, Pew said.

Some activists said they were motivated to see Joe Arpaio, a former Arizona sheriff whose anti-immigrant policies gave his office multi-million dollar fines for racial profiling and, eventually, for contempt of court decision. 

He argued that the prosecution was political, designed to help him remove him from office. Trump later forgave him. 

"We've seen an explosion of fear, division and violence under this administration (Trump), but that's not new in Arizona," said Alejandra Gomez, an executive co-director of Lucha. "We had the original Trump here under Arpaio."
