“From fighting to repeal affordable health care to failing to protect DREAMers from deportation, House Republicans have betrayed hardworking Americans on the issues that matter most to them,” said DCCC Hispanic Media Director Javier Gamboa. “The DCCC takes no community or voter for granted, and that’s why we’ve been on the ground in diverse key swing districts talking to voters and building relationships from day one. The DCCC is investing unprecedented resources into turning out Latino Democratic voters, and we’re confident that these efforts will help us win back the House this November.”

WASHINGTON — Just a quarter of Latinos approve of the job Donald Trump is doing as president, and Latinos prefer a Congress controlled by Democrats rather than by Republicans by a three-to-one margin, according a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll.
[…] found that just 26 percent approve of Trump’s job performance, compared with 65 percent who disapprove — with 50 percent disapproving strongly.
[…] 64 percent of Latinos said they’d like to see Democrats in charge, compared with 21 percent who prefer Republicans — a margin of 43 percentage points.
More than half of Latinos — 53 percent — say that they want their vote to send a signal in favor of more Democrats to be a check and balance to Trump and congressional Republicans. Just 18 percent want to send a message in favor of Republicans who will advance Trump’s agenda.
What’s more, by a wide margin, Latinos say that Republican elected officials have failed to address the concerns of the Latino community. Just 26 percent say their concerns have been addressed well by the GOP while 69 percent say they have not been addressed well.
Latinos are also more receptive than the electorate at large to Democratic messaging, particularly regarding immigration.
More than six-in-10 Latinos (63 percent) say they would be less likely to support a candidate who favors building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, while 55 percent of voters overall say the same.
While 58 percent of all registered voters say they would be more likely to support a candidate who favors legal status for DREAMers who were brought to this country illegally by their parents at a young age, fully 77 percent of Latino voters say the same.
