民主党人希望说服拉丁裔选民在中期选举中踊跃投票支持本党候选人。一家拉丁裔权益组织指出，只有提出针对经济、住房问题以及应对美国移民及海关执法局滥用职权的解决方案，民主党才最有可能实现这一目标。
Democrats are hoping to persuade Latino voters to get out and vote for their candidates in droves in the midterms. A Latino organization says they’ll have the best chance of doing that by presenting solutions to the economy, housing, and abuses by ICE.
由Voto Latino与Semafor联合发布的民调显示，在一般性投票意向调查中，40%的拉丁裔选民支持民主党，而仅有21%的人倾向于共和党。
Polling by Voto Latino shared first with Semafor shows 40% of Latinos backing Democrats on the generic ballot, while just 21% support Republicans.
该组织认为，要想吸引更多拉丁裔选民加入民主党阵营，就必须提出切实解决民生问题的方案：拉丁裔选民普遍认为生活必需品价格过高是最令他们不满的问题，食品与住房开支也被视作最不合理的支出项目。
The group argues that bringing more Latinos into the Democratic fold will require running on solutions to pocketbook issues: Latino voters rank the cost of necessities as their top frustration, and view food and housing costs as most unreasonable.
“这正是民主党真正有机会重新赢得拉丁裔选民支持的关键所在，”Voto Latino执行主任贝阿特丽斯·洛佩兹说道，“我认为这是个绝佳的机遇，绝不能错失。倘若现在错失良机，2028年想要挽回局面将会更加困难。”洛佩兹还指出，选民们既期待长期解决方案，也渴望短期应对措施。在受调查者中，2024年未参与投票的拉丁裔选民比曾经投票的选民更容易对经济状况感到不满，比如难以赚取足够的收入或找到理想的工作。
“This is where Democrats really have an opportunity to really bring back Latinos back to their corner,” said Beatriz Lopez, Voto Latino’s executive director. “I think this is a pure opportunity, and it’s not to be wasted because if they waste it right now, it’s going to be even harder in ’28.”Voters are looking for “some long-term solutions, some short-term solutions,” said Lopez. Among those surveyed, Latinos who didn’t vote in 2024 were more likely than those who had voted to have economic frustrations, like struggling to earn enough money or find a good job.
“本次民调显示，生活最为艰难的人群恰恰也是最渴望改变的人群，”Voto Latino副执行主任阿米尔·帕特尔说道。
“What we see in this poll is the people that are struggling the most are the ones who want the most,” said Voto Latino deputy director Ameer Patel.
共和党原本期望2024年拉丁裔选民向特朗普及共和党倾斜的趋势能够持续下去，为此他们在佛罗里达州与德克萨斯州重新划分了部分国会选区，试图借助拉丁裔选民的倾向性来为共和党创造优势。而民主党则寄望于经济问题以及特朗普政府实施的移民管控政策能促使拉丁裔选民重新回归民主党阵营。
Republicans have been hoping that the shift of Latino voters towards Trump and Republicans in 2024 would be part of a more durable trend, and drew new congressional districts in Florida and Texas to favor Republicans that relied in part on the Latino voting trends. Democrats, on the other hand, have hoped Latino voters would return to the left, motivated by economic concerns and the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement.
移民问题依然是拉丁裔选民最为关心的议题。当被问及国会应优先采取哪些移民政策时，参与调查的拉丁裔选民将调查移民与海关执法局列为首要任务，同时他们也希望推动诸如为非法移民提供入籍途径、终止对儿童及家庭实施移民拘留等改革措施。
Immigration still remains a major issue for Latino voters. Asked about immigration solutions for Congress to tackle, Latino voters polled picked investigating ICE as a top priority, alongside immigration changes like a pathway to citizenship and ending the immigration detention of children and families.
