Democrats and Republicans seemingly are not doing enough to tailor their messaging toward Latino voters, most of whom said in a new poll that the U.S. is "off on the wrong track."
The poll was commissioned by UnidosUS, the largest Latino nonprofit advocacy organization, and Mi Familia Vota, a Latino political and civic engagement organization, and conducted in mid-July by the national firm BSP Research, which mainly focuses on Democratic polling.
Of the 2,750 eligible Latino voters surveyed, 60% said they believe the country is on the wrong track.
While that number was higher under President Donald Trump, when roughly 72% of Latino voters said the nation was heading down the wrong path, "60% is still a high number," Clarissa Martinez, vice president of the Latino vote initiative at UnidosUS, told NBC News.
"People can think that things are not going right, and that's one of the things that propelled them to actually participate" in elections, Martinez said.
