Poll: Latino Voters Near Evenly Divided Over Clinton, Sanders

A poll released Thursday shows Latino registered voters are relatively divided between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders as the New York primary looms.

Latinos voters were essentially divided 48 percent for Sanders and 47 percent for Clinton in the poll conducted March 30-April 3 by Public Religion Research Institute in partnership with The Atlantic.

That finding comes as the two have been taking their campaigns into diverse New York, where the population is 19 percent Latino and 14 percent of the state's eligible voters are Latino. Thus far Clinton has won in the heavy Latino states of Florida, Texas and Arizona. Sanders won in Colorado and edged past Clinton in Illinois, 50 percent to 49 percent, according to exit polls. The outcome in Nevada's caucus is in dispute - entrance polls give it to Sanders, but analysis of votes show Clinton won the heaviest Latino counties.

FACT SHEET: HISPANIC CATHOLICS IN THE U.S.


1. IN THE POPULATION
☒ There are approximately 30.4 million people in the United States who self-identify their
religion as Catholic and their ethnicity as Hispanic or Latino/a. Some 16.4 million are
native-born (54%) and 14.0 million are foreign-born (46%).


☒ Fifty-seven percent of adult Hispanics self-identify as Catholic. This percentage has
fallen from about seven in ten self-identifying as such in 2006 (70%). In CARA surveys,
38% percent of adult Catholics self-identify their ethnicity as Hispanic or Latino/a. This
has increased from about a third in 2000 (34%).
☒ The “retention rate” for Hispanic or Latino/a youth is 71%. Thus, seven in ten of those
raised in the faith remain Catholic as adults. By comparison only 61% of non-Hispanics
raised Catholic remain in the faith as adults. While comparatively a very high retention,
this has declined from 82% in 2006. Seventy-eight percent of Hispanic or Latino/a
