Gun violence and crime surged past even inflation to become the most cited top concern for U.S. Latinos this month, in the latest Axios-Ipsos Latino Poll.
, where nearly half of more of the population is Latino, have seen surges in rates of violent crime and homicide.
But the surge in concern around "crime or gun violence," which is how the poll has asked the question since December, correlates to the timing of mass shooting events.Respondents who said gun violence/crime is among their top three issues surged from 27% in March to 44% this month. Inflation crept up to 39%. COVID-19 fell to 14%. About one in five put climate change, health care or immigration in their top three.42% of survey respondents said they are certain or very likely to vote, marginally down from when we asked in December.
29% of the respondents — U.S. Latino adults including voters and non-voters — said they planned to vote for Democratic candidates; 17% for Republicans; and 34% said they didn't know or would support independents or third parties."We're seeing Democrats continue to hold an advantage with Latinos over Republicans, but probably not as strong as Democrats would like," Jackson said.
The margin of sampling error is ±3.8 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for results based on the entire sample.
