About This Report
This report examines national Latino voter participation trends in U.S. midterm elections. It also
examines the geographic distribution of Latino voters across the nations 435 congressional
districts and across the 50 states and the District of Columbia, with a focus on places with close
Congressional, Senate and gubernatorial elections this year. The report also examines national
Latino attitudes about gun control, marijuana use, the minimum wage and abortion. All four
issues are part of ballot initiatives in many states this year.
Accompanying this report are state profiles of Latino eligible voters in 42 states and the District of
Columbia.
1
Also accompanying this report is an interactive map and sortable table showing key
characteristics of Latino voters in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as an
interactive map and sortable table showing the number of Latino eligible voters in all 435
Congressional Districts of the current 113
th
Congress and the District of Columbia.
The data for this report are from four main sources. The first is the November Voting and
Registration Supplement of the Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is a monthly survey of
about 55,000 households conducted by the Census Bureau for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The CPS is representative of the non-institutionalized population of the U.S. It does not include
data on the voting behavior of enlisted military personnel and those who are institutionalized. The
November Voting and Registration Supplement of the CPS is one of the richest sources of
information available about the characteristics of voters. It is conducted after Election Day and
relies on survey respondent self-reports of voting and voter registration. In addition to the
November Voting and Registration Supplement to the Current Population Survey, this report also
uses the August 2014 Current Population Survey to estimate current characteristics of the nations
Latino eligible voters.
The second data source is the 2012 American Community Survey.
2
The 2012 ACS provides detailed
geographic, demographic and economic characteristics for Latino and non-Latino eligible voters
and is the main source for the state-level analysis of this report and the accompanying state
profiles of Latino eligible voters.

1
There are eight states (Alaska, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia) whose Hispanic
eligible voter samples (U.S. citizens, ages 18 and older) in the 2012 American Community Survey are not large enough to generate reliable
estimates.

The data source is the 1% sample of the 2012 ACS Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) as provided by the University of
Minnesota http://usa.ipums.org/usa.

Latino attitudes on social issues data are from the following Pew Research Center surveys: (1) the
January-March 2014 Political Polarization and Typology Survey of 10,013 adults, including 902
Latino adults; (2) the January 2014 Political Survey of 1,504 adults, including 162 Latino adults;
and (3) the February 2014 Political Survey of 1,821 adults, including 216 Latino adults. The
surveys were conducted in English and Spanish on both landline and cellular telephones.
This report was written by Mark Hugo Lopez, Jens Manuel Krogstad, Eileen Patten and Ana
Gonzalez-Barrera. Analysis for the report was provided by Anna Brown, Gonzalez-Barrera, Lopez,
and Patten. Brown and Patten wrote the accompanying state profiles. Claudia Deane and Michael
Dimock provided editorial guidance and comments. Jeffrey Passel provided analysis on the Latino
eligible voter population in each Congressional District. The interactive maps and sortable tables
were developed by Russell Heimlich and Michael Piccorossi. Michael Keegan provided additional
graphic support and editorial guidance. Patten and Brown number-checked the report and
Gonzalez-Barrera number-checked the interactive maps and tables. Bruce Drake was the copy
editor. Michael Suh provided web support.
A Note on Terminology
The terms Latino and Hispanic are used interchangeably in this report.
References to other races and ethnicities are to the non-Hispanic components of those
populations. Asian does not include Pacific Islanders.
Eligible voters refers to persons ages 18 and older who are U.S. citizens.
For findings based on state voter registration data, registered voters refers to tallies of registered
voters reported by state election officials.
Voters are those who say they voted in the Voting and Registration Supplement of the CPS.
Voter turnout rate is the share of eligible voters who say they voted.
Competitive or close races for House, Senate and Gubernatorial seats were identified by the
Pew Research Center using ratings as of October 15 from The Cook Political Report, Real Clear
Politics and CNN. For Senate races, FiveThirtyEight.com was also used. States or Congressional
districts identified as a toss-up or competitive race by all available sources is identified as a close
race in this report.

Overview
A record 25.2 million Latinos are eligible to
vote in the 2014 midterm elections, making
up, for the first time, 11% of all eligible voters
nationwide. But despite a growing national
presence, in many states with close Senate and
gubernatorial races this year, Latinos make up
a smaller share of eligible voters, according to
an analysis of Census Bureau data by the Pew
Research Center.
3

Since 2010, the number of Hispanic eligible
voters has increased by 3.9 million. Their
share among eligible voters nationally is also
on the rise, up from 10.1% in 2010 and 8.6% in
2006 (Lopez, 2011), reflecting the relatively
faster growth of the Hispanic electorate
compared with other groups.
Yet in the eight states with close Senate races,
4

just 4.7% of eligible voters on average are
Latinos. Among those states, Latinos make up
less than 5% of eligible voters in six. Only in
Colorado does the 14.2% Latino share among
eligible voters exceed the 10.7% national
average. Kansas is the only other state where
the Latino share

Eligible voters are U.S. citizens ages 18 and older. Not all eligible voters are registered to vote.

States with close U.S. Senate races were identified by the Pew Research Center based on state ratings as of October 15, 2014 as published
by the Cook Political Report, FiveThirtyEight, CNN and Real Clear Politics. These states are Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana and North Carolina.

among eligible voters exceeds 5%.

As a result,
the impact of Latino voters in determining
which party controls the U.S. Senate may not be
as large as might be expected given their
growing electoral and demographic presence
nationwide. In other 2014 Senate racesnone
of which are competitiveLatinos make up
more than 10% of eligible voters in just three:
New Mexico, where Latinos make up 40.1% of
eligible voters; Texas, where 27.4% of eligible
voters are Latino; and New Jersey, where
Latinos make up 12.8% of eligible voters.
Eligible voters are U.S. citizen adults. Not all
eligible voters are registered to vote, or turn out
to vote in an election. Nonetheless, the number
of Hispanic eligible voters and their share
among a states eligible voters provides insight
into the potential impact of the Hispanic vote.
So far that impact has been muted by the fact
that Hispanic voter turnout rates in midterm
elections and presidential elections have lagged
other racial and ethnic groups (Krogstad, 2014).
For example, in 2010, while 31.2% of Hispanic
eligible voters voted, 48.6% of white and 44.0% of black eligible voters turned out on Election Day.
In the case of this years 14 competitive House races, the share of eligible voters that are Hispanic
is, on average, 13.6% slightly exceeding Hispanics 10.7% share nationwide.
6

But this masks the large variability in the percentage of Hispanics across the competitive
Congressional districts. For example, in six districts, fewer than 5% of eligible voters are Hispanic.
At the other end of the spectrum, in Floridas 26
th
Congressional district and Californias 26
th

Congressional district, Hispanics make up 62% and 31% of eligible voters, respectively. Fully 96%

5
In North Carolina, voter registration statistics show that Latinos are an even smaller share of registered voters1.9% of registered voters are
Latinos, compared with 3.1% among eligible voters.

6
Districts with close U.S. House of Representative races were identified by the Pew Research Center based on state ratings as of October 15,
2014 as published by the Cook Political Report, CNN and Real Clear Politics. There are 14 such districts (see table 2).

of Hispanic eligible voters, and 97% of all
eligible voters, live in districts without a close
Congressional race.
Republicans currently hold 233 seats in the U.S.
House of Representatives and appear unlikely
to lose control of the House. Among this years
14 toss-up races, most incumbents are
Democrats.
In the 36 states with gubernatorial races this
year, nine have close races.
7
Just as with
competitive U.S. Senate races, Hispanics on
average account for a smaller share of eligible
voters in these races than they do nationally.
Overall, 7.9% of eligible voters in these states
are Hispanic, compared with a 10.7% share
nationally. Among these states, three have
Hispanic eligible voter shares above 10%
(Florida with 17.1%, Colorado with 14.2% and
Connecticut with 10.3%) and three have voter
shares below 5% (Wisconsin 3.2%, Michigan
2.9% and Maine 1.0%).
In each midterm election since 1974, the
number of Latino voters reached a new record
high, largely reflecting the communitys fast
population growth.
8
However, the share of those Latinos who actually vote on Election Daythe
voter turnout ratehas lagged significantly behind other racial and ethnic groups.

7
States with battleground gubernatorial races were identified by the Pew Research Center based on state ratings as of October 15, 2014 as
published by the Cook Political Report, CNN and Real Clear Politics. These 9 states are Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan and Wisconsin.

8
According to Pew Research Center analysis of the Current Population Survey November Supplements, the number of Hispanic voters in
midterm elections was 1.4 million in 1974; 1.6 million in 1978; 2.2 million in 1982; 2.9 million in 1986; 2.9 million in 1990; 3.5 million in
1994; 4.1 million in 1998; 4.5 million in 2002; 5.6 million in 2006 and 6.6 million in 2010.

During the 2010 midterm
election, a record 6.6 million
Hispanics voted, representing
a turnout rate of 31.2%. But
more than twice as many
Hispanics14.7 million
could have voted but did not
(Lopez, 2011). By comparison,
voter turnout rates were
higher among blacks (44%)
and whites (48.6%).
Low voter participation rates
among Hispanics are due to
many factors. First, the
relative youth of the Hispanic
population may impact overall
Hispanic voter turnout rates.
Young people turn out at rates
lower than that of older
eligible voters. This is true
among Hispanics (Lopez, 2011; Lopez and Gonzalez-
Barrera, 2013) just as it is among other racial and
ethnic groups (CIRCLE, 2013).
For Hispanics, however, young people are a larger
share of eligible voters than they are among other
groups. In 2014, 33% of Hispanic eligible voters are
ages 18 to 29. By comparison, among white eligible
voters, 18% are in that age group. And, among blacks,
that share is 25%. Among Asians, 21% are between
ages 18 and 29.
Hispanic youth will also be the main driver of growth
in the number of Hispanic eligible voters nationally in
the coming decades. Currently, some 800,000 U.S.
born Hispanics turn 18 each year, with one million or
more expected to reach adulthood annually by 2024. And by 2030, the number of Hispanic

eligible voters is projected to top more than 40 million (Taylor, Gonzalez-Barrera, Passel and
Lopez, 2012).
Second, the political competitiveness of states where Latino voters live also is important in
determining Latino voter turnout rates. For example, California and Texas contain nearly half
(46.4%) of all Latino eligible voters, but neither has been a battleground state in recent
presidential elections. As a result, nearly half of Latino voters do not get the level of attention from
campaigns that Latino voters who live in battleground states receive. And this year, neither state
has a close Senate race.
Voters in several states this year are facing state ballot initiatives on issues such as gun control,
marijuana legalization, abortion and the minimum wage. On some of these issues, national Latino
public opinion differs from that of the general U.S. public, but on others, Latinos views are no
different.
On the issue of gun control, Hispanic registered voters are more likely to support gun control
measures than all U.S. registered voters. About six-in-ten Hispanic registered voters (62%) say
controlling gun ownership is more important than protecting the right of Americans to own guns,
while 36% say the opposite. By comparison, 45% of all U.S. registered voters favor controlling gun
ownership while a 53% majority favors protecting gun rights. Hispanics, overall, are less likely to
be gun owners than the general U.S. public20% versus 34% (Morin, 2014). This year, voters in
two statesAlabama and Washingtonare considering questions on gun ownership.
9
Both are
states where Latinos are a relatively small share of eligible voters1.6% and 6.1% respectively.
A measure to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes is on the ballot in Florida, a state with the
fifth-highest share (17.1%) of Hispanic eligible voters. Nationally, Hispanic registered voters are
split on the question of marijuana legalizationabout half (49%) say that marijuana should be
made legal while a similar 48% share say it should not be made legal. By comparison, among U.S.
registered voters, the balance tilts toward legalizing over not legalizing by a margin of 53% to 44%
(Pew Research Center, 2014d).

9
In Alabama, voters will decide whether to define the right to bear arms as a fundamental right in their state constitution. In Washington,
there are two competing measuresthe first would prevent confiscation of firearms without due process and prevent the state from
implementing background checks unless a federal standard is implemented and the second would require background checks for all firearm
purchases, including private sales.

The share of Hispanic registered voters (and all U.S. registered voters) that approves of some
legalization rises when both medicinal and recreational use are considered. For example, 47% of
Hispanic registered voters approve of legalization for only medicinal use and 34% approve of
legalization for recreational use. Combined,
81% approve of some form of legalization.
Overall, Hispanics are less likely to say they
have ever used marijuana than other
Americans. One-third (33%) of Hispanics say
this compared with 50% of whites and 49% of
blacks (Pew Research Center, 2014b).
Measures that could restrict access to abortion
services and certain birth control methods are
on the ballot in Colorado, North Dakota and
Tennessee.

In Colorado, Hispanics make up
14.2% of eligible voters, compared with just
2% in Tennessee and 1.8% in North Dakota.
On abortion, Hispanic registered voters
nationally are split on the issue48% say
abortion should be legal in all or most cases,
while 44% say it should be illegal in all or most
cases. Among all registered voters, the balance
is tilted the other way as a larger share thinks
abortion should be legal than illegal (52% vs.
42%).
10

Voters in Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and
South Dakotastates where Hispanics make
up a small share of eligible voterswill decide
whether to raise the minimum wage in their
states. Hispanics, and all Americans, generally
support an increase in the federal minimum
wage, with 84% of Hispanics in favor of raising
the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to
$10.10 an hour, compared with 73% of all

10
Over the last decade among all Hispanics, views on abortion have not changed much with between 51% and 57% saying abortion should be
illegal in all or most cases (Pew Research Center, 2014c).

At 54.1 million, Latinos are the nations largest minority group and growing fast (Brown, 2014).
Latinos have also strongly supported Democratic presidential candidates in recent elections,
giving President Barack Obama 71% of their vote in 2012 compared with 27% to Republican Mitt
Romney (Lopez and Taylor, 2012). Latino registered voters also tend to affiliate with the
Democratic Party. In 2012, 70% of Latino registered voters said they identified with or leaned
toward the Democratic Party (Lopez and Gonzalez-Barrera, 2012).
This report explores electoral participation trends among Hispanics in recent midterm election
cycles. It also provides a snapshot of the geography and demography of the Hispanic vote in 2014,
with a special focus on states and Congressional districts with competitive races. Accompanying
this report are state profiles of Hispanic eligible voters in 42 states and the District of Columbia,
each based on data from the 2012 American Community Survey. Also accompanying this report
are interactive maps and tables showing key characteristics of Latino voters in all 50 states and the
District of Columbia, as well as in each of the nations 435 Congressional districts and the District
of Columbia.

Among the reports other findings:
Latino eligible voters in the Congressional districts:
The 66 Congressional districts with at least 100,000 Latino eligible voters contain about half of
all Latino eligible voters nationwide. In 49 of these districts, incumbents are Democrats.
The 157 Congressional districts with at least 50,000 Latino eligible voters contain about three-
quarters of all Latino eligible voters nationwide. In 96 of these districts, incumbents are
Democrats.
The districts with the five highest Hispanic eligible voter shares are Californias 40

Texass 16
th
district is the largest Congressional district by Latino eligible voter population,
with 313,000 Latino eligible voters.
Latino eligible voters in the states:
More than two-thirds of Hispanic eligible voters live in just six statesCalifornia, Texas,
Florida, New York, Arizona and Illinois.
At 40.1%, New Mexico has the highest Latino eligible voter share, followed by Texas (27.4%),
California (26.9%), Arizona (20.3%) and Florida (17.1%).
Since 2006, the number of Hispanic eligible voters has grown fastest in South Carolina (up
126.2%), Tennessee (up 113.7%) and Alabama (up 110.5%).
The Demographics of Latino Eligible Voters
Three-quarters (74%) of Latino eligible voters are U.S. born and 26% are immigrants who hold
U.S. citizenship.
Some 17% of Hispanic eligible voters hold a bachelors degree or more. By comparison, 33% of
white, 20% of black and 48% of Asian eligible voters hold a bachelors degree or more.
Among Hispanic eligible voters, 60% are of Mexican origin, 13% Puerto Rican origin, 5%
Cuban origin, 4% Dominican origin and 3% are of Salvadoran origin.

Chapter 1: The Geography of Latino Voters
The Latino population is among the fastest growing in the nation, and has dispersed across the
U.S. over the past two decades (Brown and Lopez, 2012). This has resulted in a growing Latino
presence among eligible voters in many parts of the country.
Hispanics make up 10.7% of eligible voters nationwide but the Hispanic eligible voter population is
concentrated in relatively few of the 435 Congressional districts of the 113
th
Congress. For example,
half (50%) of Hispanic eligible voters are in 66 districts, each with 100,000 or more Hispanic
eligible voters. And the 157 congressional districts with at least 50,000 Hispanic eligible voters
together contain about 76% of all Hispanic eligible voters.
Californias 40
th
District has the highest share of Hispanic
eligible voters. Located in the Los Angeles area, 77.6% of eligible
voters in Californias 40
th
are Hispanic. Following Californias
40
th
are four districts in Texas: the 34
th
District (76.6%), 16
th

District (73.5%), 15
th
District (71.4%) and 28
th
District (66.6%).
All four are located along the U.S.-Mexico border either in the
Rio Grande Valley or in El Paso. These five Congressional
districts are currently controlled by Democrats. Among the 10
districts with the highest share of Hispanic eligible voters, eight
are controlled by Democrats. The two Republican incumbents
among these 10 represent districts in South Florida with large
Cuban populationsFloridas 27
th
District and 25
th
District.
By contrast, in seven congressional districts, less than 1% of
eligible voters are Latino. Ohios 6
th
District has a Latino eligible
share of just 0.5%the lowest in the nation. The six other
Congressional districts and their Latino eligible voter shares are:
Kentuckys 5

The vast majority (96%) of Hispanic eligible
voters live in districts without a close
Congressional race this year. In the 14
Congressional districts with competitive races
for the U.S. House of Representatives this year,
Hispanics account for 13.6% of eligible voters
on average, but the share in each district varies
widely.
11
The competitive districts with the
highest share of Hispanic eligible voters are
Floridas 26
th
District (62%), Californias 26
th

District (31%) and Arizonas 2
nd
District (20%).
In each district, respectively, the incumbents
are Joe Garcia (D), Julia Brownley (D) and Ron
Barber (D).
In six competitive districts, Hispanics make up
less than 5% of eligible voters. Democrats
control all but one of these districts (Iowas 3
rd

District is an open seat last held by a
Republican).
Among the nations Latino eligible voters, more
than two-thirds live in just six states
California, Texas, Florida, New York, Arizona
and Illinois. California and Texas alone contain
about half (46.3%) of all Hispanics, and half
(46.4%) of all Hispanic eligible voters.
In New Mexico, Hispanics make up 40.1% of eligible voters, the highest share in the nation. New
Mexico is followed by Texas (27.4%), California (26.9%), Arizona (20.3%) and Florida (17.1%).
Over the past decade, the Hispanic population has grown most quickly among states in the
southeast (Brown and Lopez, 2012). However, much of the growth has come from people not
eligible to vote: immigrants (many of whom are not U.S. citizens) and those under 18. For

example, in North Carolina, the number of
Hispanics has more than doubled since 2000
and Hispanics now make up 9% of the states
population. But the share of Hispanics falls to
3.1% among the states eligible voters since so
many Hispanics who live in North Carolina are
not eligible to vote. Overall, just 25.3% of
Hispanics in North Carolina are at least 18
years old and a U.S. citizen, the lowest share
across the states. Nationally, 44.6% of all
Hispanics are at least 18 years of age and a U.S.
citizen.
In the case of eligible voters, some of the fastest
growing states are in the Southeast. Since 2006,
the number of Hispanic eligible voters has
grown fastest in South Carolina (126.2%),
Tennessee (113.7%) and Alabama (110.5%).

Latino Voters and Competitive Senate
Races
About 1.2 million Hispanic eligible voters live in
the eight states with competitive Senate races
this year, making up on average just 4.7% of
eligible voters. Nationally, 10.7% of all eligible
voters are Hispanic.
This year, Latinos make up more than 4.7% of
eligible voters in three competitive Senate
states Colorado (14.2%), Kansas (6.0%) and
Alaska (4.8%). Colorado alone accounts for 45%
of Latino eligible voters in all competitive
Senate states. North Carolina has the next
highest number of Latino eligible voters, and
accounts for 19% of all eligible voters in
competitive states. But due to North Carolinas
relatively large population, Latinos account for
only about 3% of the states 7 million eligible
voters.
The Hispanic electorate is small in both size
and share in some states with competitive
Senate races. For example, in Kentucky, 51,000
Hispanic eligible voters account for 1.6% of the states 3.3 million total eligible voters.

Latino Voters and Competitive
Gubernatorial Races
Hispanics are better represented among the
electorate in states with competitive races for
governor compared with states with
competitive Senate races. On average, 7.9% of
eligible voters are Hispanic in the nine states
with close gubernatorial races, more than the
4.7% share in competitive Senate races. This
year there are 36 governor races.
In Florida, the 2.3 million Hispanics eligible to
vote make up 17% of eligible voters in the state,
the highest share of any competitive
gubernatorial state. Some 14.2% of eligible
voters in Colorado, 10.3% of eligible voters in
Connecticut and 9.5% of eligible voters in
Illinois are Hispanic, each higher than the 7.9%
average across the states with close
gubernatorial races.
Competitive gubernatorial states with a high
share of Latino eligible voters also tend to have
large numbers of Latino eligible voters. The
three most populous states on this measure are
Florida (2.3 million), Illinois (846,000) and
Colorado (524,000). By contrast, Maines 11,000 Latino eligible voters account for just 1% of the
states eligible voters.
Latinos make up a growing part of the electorate in competitive gubernatorial states. For example,
in Florida, the number of Latino eligible voters increased from 2.1 million in 2010 to 2.3 million in
2012, while the Latino eligible voter share increased by 1.2 percentage points over the same period.

Chapter 2: Latinos Views on Selected 2014 Ballot Measure
Issues
Voters in 41 states and the District of Columbia will get to weigh in on policy initiatives on state
ballots in the November 2014 election.
There are 147 statewide ballot measures
facing voters this year, according to the
National Conference of State Legislatures
(Underhill, 2014). Among the policy issues
up for a vote are measures about marijuana
legalization, gun rights and restrictions,
abortion and raising the minimum wage.
Pew Research Center surveys of American
adults show the opinions of Hispanic
registered voters nationwide compared with
voters of other racial and ethnic
backgrounds.
12

On November 4, proposals to legalize
marijuana for recreational use will be on the
ballots in Oregon, Alaska and the District of
Columbia and a proposal to legalize
marijuana for medicinal purposes will be on
the ballot in Florida (and Guam).
Hispanic registered voters are split over
whether or not they think marijuana should
be legalized49% say it should be made
legal while 48% disagree, according to a Pew
Research Center survey conducted earlier
this year.

By contrast, black registered

Sample sizes for the surveys were too small to look at the views of Hispanics in individual states.

The Pew Research Centers Political Polarization and Typology Survey was conducted in three phases from January 23 to March 16, 2014.
The combined sample across the three phases was 10,013 adults and 902 Hispanic adults. For more on methodology, see

voters (63%) are more likely than Hispanic registered voters to say marijuana use should be made
legal. Among all Hispanics, the U.S. born are about twice as supportive of marijuana legalization
as those born outside the U.S. (57% vs. 27%).
Pew Research Center surveys have also explored other aspects of marijuana use and views. For
example, when asked a more detailed question about whether the use of marijuana should be legal
for personal use, only for medicinal use or not be legal at all, support for some type of legalization
rises, according to a February 2014 Pew Research survey. About eight-in-ten Hispanic registered
voters (81%) say it should be legal in some form, with 47% supporting medicinal legalization only
and 34% supporting legalization for personal use as well. Similar shares of white (81%) and black
(84%) registered voters support legalization with 43% of whites and 41% of blacks favoring
legalization for personal use, while 38% of whites and 43% of blacks favor legalization of
marijuana only for medicinal use.
None of the ballot initiatives would allow for legal use of marijuana in public places.
14
This is in
line with public opinion on this question. Some 63% of all registered voters, and 61% of Hispanic
registered voters, say that if marijuana were made legal it would bother them if people used it in
public.
In the Pew Research survey, Hispanics were less likely than other racial or ethnic groups to report
having used marijuana. Some 41% of Hispanic registered voters, and 33% of all Hispanics, say
they have tried it at some point in their lives. By contrast, greater shares of all whites (50%) and all
blacks (49%) say they have tried marijuana.
If the measures to legalize marijuana do not pass, a majority of Hispanic registered voters would
still favor some level of decriminalization68% say even if marijuana is not legalized, people
convicted of possessing small amounts of marijuana should not serve jail time. Among all
registered voters, 78% say this.
Regardless of their personal views about whether or not to legalize marijuana for recreational use,
Hispanics see the legalization of marijuana nationwide as inevitable69% of all Hispanics,
regardless of their registration status, think that the sale and use of marijuana eventually will be
legal nationwide. This is similar to the share of blacks who think this will be the case (67%), but
smaller than the share of whites who think so (79%).

14
Though the D.C. ballot initiative doesnt directly include a ban on public use, the D.C. Council is considering a separate bill that would
regulate and tax marijuana in the District.

On November 4, two states will vote on ballot measures regarding gun rights or restrictions. In
Alabama, voters will be deciding whether to amend their state constitution to explicitly allow
citizens of Alabama the right to bear arms. In
Washington state, voters face two competing
measures: The first would restrict gun control
by preventing confiscation of firearms without
due process and implementing background
checks for firearm sales unless a federal
standard is established. The second would
strengthen gun control by extending the
existing requirement for background checks in
purchases made from licensed dealers to all
gun purchases, including gun shows, online
sales and private sales.
An early 2014 Pew Research Center survey
asked U.S. adults what is more important
protecting the right of Americans to own guns
or controlling gun ownership (Pew Research
Center, 2014d). Hispanic registered voters
nationally say they prefer gun control over the
rights of owners by a margin of 62%-to-36%,
as do black registered voters by a margin of
71%-to-26%, according to the survey. By
contrast, white registered voters choose gun
owners rights over gun control by a margin of 59%-to-39%.
Included in the roughly six-in-ten Hispanic registered voters who say they prefer gun control are
44% who say that most Americans should be able to own guns if certain limits are in place and
18% who say only law enforcement and security personnel should be able to own guns. Also
included among the 36% of Hispanic registered voters who think protecting gun rights is a bigger
priority are 27% who favor some restrictions on gun ownership and just 9% who favor no such
restrictions.

ownership rights, compared with 59% of Hispanics born in the U.S. who say the same.
A recent Pew Research Center analysis found that two-in-ten Hispanics say they have a gun, rifle
or pistol in their home (Morin, 2014). This is similar to the share of blacks who say this (19%), but
whites are twice as likely (41%) to say they have a gun in their home. According to a Pew Research
analysis of crime rates in the U.S., 17% of gun homicide victims were Hispanic, proportionate to
their 16% share of the U.S. population in 2010. By contrast, blacks make up 55% of gun homicide
victims, but just 13% of the U.S. population, while whites make up 25% of victims and 65% of the
population (Cohn et. al., 2013).
Voters in three statesColorado, North Dakota and Tennesseewill have the option to vote for
ballot measures this year that, if approved, would define conception as the start of life and affect
access to abortions and certain birth control methods. The measures in Colorado and North

would amend the state constitution to include language empowering the state legislature to enact,

amend or repeal statutes regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, circumstances of
pregnancy resulting from rape or incest or when necessary to save the life of the mother.
Hispanic registered voters are split on the issue of abortion48% think it should be legal in all or
most cases, while 44% say it should be illegal in all or most cases. Included among those who think
abortion should be legal are 28% of Hispanic registered voters who say there are some situations
where abortion should be restricted and 21% who say there should be no restrictions at all. And
included among those who think abortion should be illegal are 29% who say there are some
situations where abortion should be allowed and 14% who say abortion should never be allowed.
The views of Hispanic registered voters are similar to those of white and black registered voters
some 49% of blacks and 53% of whites think abortion should be legal, while some 44% of blacks
and 41% of whites think abortion should be illegal.
Looking at all Americans, regardless of their voter registration status, whites (54%) are more likely
than blacks (47%) and Hispanics (44%) to think abortion should be legal. Among all Hispanics,
51% think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, including 20% who think abortion should
never be allowed.
On the issue of abortion, Hispanics overall have long been more likely to say it should be illegal in
all or most cases. Over the last decade, this view has not changed much among all Hispanics, with
between 51% and 57% saying abortion should be illegal in all or most cases (Pew Research Center,
2014c).
16

This difference between Latino registered voters and all Latinos may reflect different views among
U.S.-born and foreign-born Latinos, as most Latino registered voters were born in the U.S.
Foreign-born Latinos oppose abortion by a margin of nearly 2-to-1: 60% say it should be illegal in
all or most cases, while just 35% say it should be legal. By contrast, 51% of U.S.-born Latinos think
abortion should be legal, while 43% think it should be illegal.

Four statesAlaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakotawill have measures on their ballots
this November to raise the minimum wage. If voters pass these measures, the hourly minimum
wage would rise incrementally from $7.75 to $9.75 by 2016 in Alaska, from $6.25 to $8.50 by 2017
in Arkansas, from $7.25 to $9.00 by 2016 in Nebraska and from $7.25 to $8.50 in 2015 in South

The views of the general public have also been fairly stable over this time period, with between 39% and 44% thinking that abortion should

Dakota. The ballot measures in Alaska and
South Dakota also include future increases
based on inflation. In addition, Illinois has a
non-binding advisory question on its ballot to
gauge public support for raising the states
hourly minimum wage from $8.25 to $10 by
2015.
Currently, the federal minimum wage stands
at $7.25 and was last raised, in steps, between
2007 and 2009 (DeSilver, 2014).
A Pew Research Center survey in January
2014 asked Americans what they thought
about raising the federal minimum wage from
its current level of $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an
hour. This is a move most (73%) Americans
favor (Pew Research Center, 2014a). (None of
the ballot measures being considered this year
would raise hourly wages to this level, though Alaskas ballot measure stipulates that the Alaskan
minimum wage must be at least $1 higher than the federal minimum wage.) Among Hispanics,
84% favor increasing the federal minimum wage, including 40% who say they strongly favor this
move. Meanwhile, 13% of Hispanics say they oppose increasing the federal minimum wage.
The views of Hispanics are similar to those of blacks86% of blacks say they favor raising the
federal minimum wage, as do 67% of whites.
The share of hourly-paid workers at or below minimum wage is similar across racial and ethnic
groups4.4% of Hispanics, 4.3% of whites and 4.9% of blacks, according to a report by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014a). However, Hispanics are
overrepresented as a share of all minimum wage workers. Hispanics make up 19% of hourly
workers that earn minimum wage or less, but they make up 16% of all employed Americans ages
16 and older in 2013 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014b).

Chapter 3: A Profile of Latino Eligible Voters
The demographic characteristics of the Latino electorate are different from other racial or ethnic
groups of eligible voters, according to Pew Research Center tabulations of the August 2014 Current
Population Survey.
Latino eligible voters are
younger than any other group
of voters. One-third of Latino
eligible voters are ages 18 to
29. This compares with one-
quarter of black eligible voters,
21% of Asian eligible voters
and 18% of white eligible
voters who are in the same age
group.
The relative youth of
Hispanics is also reflected in
the median age of each group.
Among eligible voters, the
median age of Hispanics is 38
years, compared with 44 years
among blacks, 45 years among
Asians and 50 years among
whites.
Hispanic eligible voters are
also more likely to be
naturalized U.S. citizens (i.e.
foreign born) than either white
eligible voters or black eligible
voters, but less likely than
Asian eligible voters to be
naturalized. About one-
quarter of all Latino eligible
voters (26%) are naturalized
U.S. citizens, compared with

63% of Asian eligible voters, 6% of black eligible voters and 3% of white eligible voters. Looked at
another way, three-quarters (74%) of Latino eligible voters are U.S. born.
Latino eligible voters are less likely to have completed high school or have a four-year college
degree than other groups. Close to one-in-five (18%) Latino eligible voters have less than a high
school degree, compared with 7% of white eligible voters, 10% of Asian eligible voters, and 13% of
black eligible voters. Latino eligible voters are half as likely to have earned a bachelors degree
(17%) than white eligible voters (33%), and even less likely to have done so than Asian eligible
voters (48%). The share of Latino eligible voters who have completed college is also lower than the
share of black eligible voters (20%), though the difference among these two groups is less
pronounced.
Among Hispanic eligible voters, 60% are of Mexican origin, 13% are of Puerto Rican origin, 5% are
of Cuban origin, 4% are of Dominican origin, 3% are of Salvadoran origin and 15% are of other
Central American, South American or other Hispanic origins. After Mexicans, this distribution is
somewhat different from that of the overall Hispanic population, where 64% are Mexican, 9% are
Puerto Rican, 4% are Cuban, 4% are Salvadoran, and 3% are Dominican (Brown and Patten,
2014).
