NALEO poll on Latinx voters--NOTE that issue #1 is COVID when consistently in past elections job/economy has been #1:

In addition to Vice President Joe Biden’s 33-point advantage in favorability over President Donald Trump, 65 percent of survey respondents said they plan on voting for the Vice President compared to just 24 percent for the President
Of all the elected officials in the survey, Senator Kamala Harris has the highest net favorability (+37 percent), and President Donald Trump has the worst net favorability (-38 percent) among survey respondents
62 percent of survey respondents are more enthusiastic about voting in 2020 than they were in 2016, over 10 percent higher than the same sentiment when polled in 2016, comparing enthusiasm to the previous presidential election (2012)
78 percent of survey respondents say they are almost certain they will vote in 2020
Survey respondents say health, racism and discrimination, and jobs are the most important issues, with the following breakdown:
COVID-19: 47 percent
Lowering healthcare costs: 31 percent
Racism and discrimination: 26 percent
Jobs and wages: 25 percent
Police reform and Black Lives Matter have a 60 percent favorability rate among survey respondents
Despite the 55 percent of survey respondents who express a preference to vote by mail versus the 45 percent who say they prefer to vote in person, 29 percent say they are not familiar with how to request a mail-in-ballot
60 percent of survey respondents say they have not been contacted by anyone from a political party, campaign, or any other organization

Within days, the Supreme Court will issue the DACA decision. I am not optimistic that DACA students will be protected. On the day of the decision, let’s protest at 5PM in our own downtowns, demanding that our DACA students and all immigrants be given a path to citizenship. Our elected officials need to hear us who deeply care about our immigrant students, families, friends, and neighbors. And, for those of us who can vote, on November 6 be sure to exercise our precious right to select our leaders.
